Does foreign aid mean like giving money to Israel to bomb innocent PR people?
It’s stuff like food and medicine, things to combat the spread of HIV and other communicable diseases, poverty, and malnutrition.
USAID, for example
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Agency_for_International_Development
A lot of corruption in USAID contracting with domestic firms getting these contracts.
Not sure how other states do it. But the grift is real.
USAID makes money off of poor countries. They don’t give money to help people
the u.s. gives countries money (usually) with the condition that they spend it on u.s. made equipment and munitions. those companies then make profits on those sales. it’s basically subsidies for the u.s. defense industry. part of the ‘military industrial complex’.
i think those funds fall somewhere under defense dept spending and would be separate from non-defense related foreign aid (humanitarian, medical, environmental, disaster, etc).
Even the non military money isnt actual aid. Its loans that profit off of poor countries.
