Ah, the propaganda writes itself. Samantha Power’s eulogy for USAID reeks of imperial guilt repackaged as altruism. Defunding aid programs isn’t a “blunder”—it’s strategic nihilism, stripping the veneer off humanitarian interventionism.
Democracy™ exported via checkbook was always a farce. Now the mask drops: autocrats don’t “win” when aid dies. They just stop pretending we ever cared.
Rubio and Musk aren’t dismantling empire; they’re streamlining it. No more crumbs for the global south while Lockheed Martin cashes the real checks.
But weep for the bureaucrats, right? The real tragedy isn’t dead kids in Yemen—it’s their metrics dying in a spreadsheet.
Lol sure thing kid.
