Usa has 800 military bases in 70 countries. Do host countries pay their expenses or us taxpayers? Why don’t those countries shut them down? The govts and military make money hand over fist in arms deals. It’s all a racket. Utter corruption. As is USAID.

AID is a misnomer for exploitation of host countries, $$$s are siphoned right back to usa in the form of third rate American consultants who fly business class, stay in 5 star hotels and receive a a daily stipend over and above consultant fees! I’ve had the dubious honor of working with some of them. They were paid hefty fees while I, a native, eminently smarter than them, was paid literally peanuts. Appalling. I left in disgust.
