US aid to foreign countries in 2015, and why (INFOGRAPHIC)

[HOLLYWOOD]

Trolling hard or hardly trolling?

Don't waste a letter addressing that douche bag, their ops are to disrupt and hijack.

I can tell you how the Macedonian money is spent.All the money goes to NGO`s.It is nothing more than money laundering.All the NGO`s do are some stupid projects that are nothing more than a smoke screen and except for a humanitarian name it can hardly be even said they exist.

Hey they also inflict crony corporatism; FiveBucks, Mickey D's, WalMarx, ADM/Cargill/Monsanto shit... endless Fascism forced upon the small and meek countries near you!

BUAHA HAHA HA ...Same here in Croatia. More or less EU funds are also spent like that in entire Europe.
Example: 50.000 euros for teaching 7 year old children for one day to prepare "traditional", "Eco-friendly", "gay as hell(vegetarian)" meals. la di da...

I thought the laundered money went to building arms plants and war training? DC foreign game is the same in every country... Confessions of an Economic Hitman

In my experience, in Latin America for instance, one of the main issues with giving aid to NGOs or Countries are the wrong choices made by those agencies when deciding to whom the AID goes.

So the AID, instead of creating a good image of the US to the world, what could eventually –in the long run- generate a pro US sympathy, more often, the AID provided by the US is seen as an effort to block or disrupt a democratic process of sovereign nations with the aim to protect the interest of some specific corporation.

As a corollary, at a short run and also in a long run, the US is wasting the money providing assistance in a wrong way creating most of the time antipathy against the US.

Indeed you will find the paradox, that countries that provide of much less aid, or none, may have a better reputation, just because of the fact of not interfering with the sovereign process of those countries.

Lol the answer isn't to get rid of all foreign aid, but to get rid of the bad foreign aid. Sounds obvious, but some people apparently don't get it.

What's good foreign aid?

Maybe if we didn't pour money into questionable aid, we would be in a better position to really help during a real crisis such as when the Tsunami hit Japan or during the major Earthquake in Haiti. In the latter case, maybe not send aid on Military Vessels.

Aid could preferably just be humanitarian delivering food or medical supplies. Maybe engineers who can advise on rebuilding or fixing infrastructure. If we just hand over suitcases of money, much of it will just be squandered. Hell, we may be lucky if even food or medial supplies don't disappear or are used to buy influence in 3rd World countries.

I will assume that your motives are good - you want people in need to get assistance. Unfortunately, governments are unable to do this. The good motive that begins the process is always derailed by corruption before the destination is reached. It is inherent in the process of trying to delegate charitable intentions to an agency based on force. Charity is a do-it-yourself project. You can't send government to do it.

And it isn't a question of better management. Thinking that the problem with foreign aid is bad management is exactly the same idea as people express when they say that the problem with the war in Iraq (etc) is that we just didn't do it right. The problem is not in the management, it is in the mission itself
