Vi kan jo bare spekulere - på hvordan #USA hadde sett ut - uten slavehandelen. Slavehandel og kolonialisering av Afrika er et vondt kapittel i verdenshistorien. Når USA nå kutterall bistand til bl.a Afrika

og ilegger afrikanske land høye tollsatser fordi de aldri vil kunne importere amerikanske varer tilsvarende eksport fortsetter Vesten og USA som har profitert på å utarme #Afrika den kyniske utnyttelsen.

#USAID #Myanmar #Trump

"The Trump administration has fired three USAID workers who were sent to Myanmar to assess how the United States could assist with relief efforts following last month’s devastating earthquake.

(. . .)

USAID employees were warned to expect firings this summer as the agency is folded into the State Department, but the termination of three workers as they were on the ground was seen as 'especially cruel' by those familiar with the situation.

(. . .)

Myanmar requested help from other nations following the devastating earthquake, with Russia, China, Malaysia and India sending aid teams and supplies along with neighboring Thailand and Vietnam; the U.S. did not send any aid workers until this week, and they have now been fired. It is unclear when they will be required to leave their jobs or what they will do in Myanmar until then."

Hands-off, San Francisco, April 5, 2025. City Hall, Civic Center. Some signs, etc. at the rally. "When we fight we win." Do not give up. We have to put these protests front and center. Make our objections heard--to everything this administration and the Republicans are doing to destroy America.

»Ähnlich happy ist die chinesische Regierung über die radikalen Kürzungen der amerikanischen Entwicklungshilfebehörde #USAID. Seit Jahren schauen chinesische Beamte neidisch auf die amerikanische Softpower aus Cheeseburger, Rock ’n' Roll und Basketball. Warum lässt sich Coolness nicht kaufen, so lautete die Frage in Peking. Nun aber haben Trumps Leute den Rückzug Hunderter USAID-Projekte befohlen, und so wächst nun in vielen Ländern des Globalen Südens der Zweifel am "American Way of Life".«

Fired USAID worker's wife was twice denied emergency transport home from Bangkok when she developed serious medical problems at 31 weeks of pregnancy. Weeks later, the couple and their newborn are still trying to return to the US.
Peter Morocco, the designated administrator of USAID has removed funds for emergency medical evacuation for USAID workers, deeming it unnecessary.

“So #Rubio did send 3 #USAID team members to assess the terrible earthquake in Burma, & then fired them while they were there.

Whether you think America should or shouldn't help ppl in need around the world, there’s no justification for such stupidity.”
-Rep Malinowski

“US team in quake zone told they’re fired.

The disaster assess team sent to Myanmar for the US received term notices while staying/sleeping outside -USAID WKRs were told on an all hands call today.”
-L Desjardins

These numbers are especially striking because the cases are at a preliminary stage, when the hurdles are high for those seeking to block an admin action.

With 6 emergency petitions challenging 4 different #Trump admin policies now before #SCOTUS, the coming days should provide a better sense of how Trump will fare there. The early indications are not good for the admin: the Court effectively rebuffed a request for emergency intervention involving #USAID, albeit by a vote of 5–4.

Could the weakening of US aid efforts, due to USAID's potential dissolution, lead to CN becoming the dominant global soft power?

USAID promoted democracy, contained disease outbreaks, saved lives... Trump: sabotaged it💔. #USAID was a source of foreign asst for struggling Cs, playing a leading role in response to INTL emergencies...

In 2024, USAID🚨purchased ~$2B worth of US -grown crops for its INTL food aid programs, supporting American farmers & food processors.

GAAA!

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen

It’s almost as if #USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world

It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Haley Britzky post: AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID. "They’re trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said. 10:33AM - 4/3/25

"The United States is ending its financial support for family planning programs in developing countries, cutting nearly 50 million women off from access to contraception.

This policy change has attracted little attention amid the wholesale dismantling of American foreign aid, but it stands to have enormous implications, including more maternal deaths and an overall increase in poverty."

To Anyone Questioning The Value Of Programs Like #USAID:

It costs pennies to make friends

You give medicine and help to people they are less likely to start a war with neighbors looking for food and resources. They are less likely to spread disease to the world

AND IMPORTANTLY:

When wackjob islamic terrorist comes to town saying the infidel Americans need to be killed that kid is going to say "Bullsh!t, when I was a kid it was the Americans who gave me medicine and help!"
