It strived to create allies, not trailers; Economic development, not predatory; World institutions, nonvital rules. And international law, not the old idea “can be right”.

Therefore, the United States Agency for International Development is a little bigger. The United States also played a decisive role in the establishment of the World Bank, IMF, the International Tariffs and Trade Association, the International Development Association and the General Agreement of the NATO Agreement, and now, now, protection Bloc
The underlying idea was that the world would be a better place if we recognize our common interest in peaceful cooperation. Why would anyone like to sacrifice this idiom in the 19th century competition to return to the most imperialist powers, which climbed two world wars, stalinism and fascism? Do pathogens or climate recognize international borders? The war in nuclear powers is even thoughtful. Can any country really be an island? Can humanity break this planet?

Attack on USAID is a sign of madness that now presses US. But it reveals. Its budget was 0.7 percent of the federal expenses aeration of 0.15 percent of GDP In the financial year of 2023. Its destruction is all symbolic. According to Musk, USAID “Viper’s nest is radical left Marxists who hate America.” USAID spends on such things AIDS Help and Family Planning In the poorest countries in the world.

If the United States intends to turn over its past wisdom, it remains to create the rest before the multilateral path, while hoping that the United States will finally find light.
Minouche Shall sure to persuade some serious review. There are really many global challenges ahead, as it points out. But there is one glorious opportunity. Eliminating extreme poverty from our planet is now close. But we fail. We need to try harder. This long-seeded goal is very close to abandoned.
