Foreign Aid

Post by Doodoo » August 15, 2023, 2:21 pm

The US gives Foreign Aid yearly to other countries. The amount seems a bit out of line when other countries also give $$$ away.
The top 20 countries range from Egypt to Nigeria to Iraq etc countries that have their own resources and need to grow up and pay their own way

USA gives yearly $139 Billion dollars to these countries. Some uses are (Civil war need guns, wars need guns, warlords need guns) etc it seems that a certain group certainly are benefitting.

The UK spent 11Billion pounds in 2020 on foreign spending

Whats very odd is that is usually the same countries that the USA contributes to

Cash Cow

Makes one think to set up a country and then get foreign aid

Probably all a monumental sovereign tax write-off? Like donating to charity?

For the best understanding of the international aid industry read 'The Lords of Poverty' by Graham Hancock :shock:
