No Nation should Get U.S. of American Foreign Aid, Unless they Openly Profess that . . .

[Seymour Flops]

. . . their goal is to be as much like the United States as possible. That they are committed to make whatever changes are required for their country to work as the U.S. does.

Because otherwise what is the point? If a country has a failing system that has put them in a position to beg for aid from a country whose system, values, and goals are completely unlike their own, then what does giving them money accomplish? Only to very temporarily prop up their failing system.

It's like you have a twin sibling who prefers to party rather than study. You like to party also, but you make sure your studies are done first. You could "help" your sibling by letting them copy your homework. It really would cost you nothing, since you would have done the work anyway.

But after a couple of times doing that are you really helping? Aren't just temporarily warding off failure for them? Then what? They get passed on to the next grade and the next, each time being less able to complete the work, for having not studies and gotten the foundation?

No, don't do that to your sibling! Motivate them to study, even if that means not giving them the help they are used to.

Most foreign countries don’t want open borders, DEI scams, or transgender generals.

America should provide it's Constitution, Bill of Rights and ask these nations how closely they adhere to these principles.

I would add that you must follow a similar approach in qualifying nations for trusted access in trade and intelligence sharing.

This approach made Reagan a global hero as he thrusted American Values onto the world stage.

They won't want to make any changes at all. They will want us to just keep sending them the money.

Sounds like the "Don't feed the Bears" spiels at Yellowstone for the same reasons. I am opposed to hand-outs, not a hand up--but it is not unlimited.

No Socialist, Communist, Theocratic, Military Junta nation, Oligarchy or other dictatorship should get US aid.
For those nations, the only aid that should be given is weapons and munitions for any rebels fighting for a free nation.

So if a country is run by a Dictator and there people are starving to death...

You are let them die guy...

Actually USAID spent a lot of time installing democracy in countries, that takes years...

Please don't say you want America to have Christian values..

Aha. But even in this case no one understands Putin's politics "made in the USA" in case of the Ukraine, Greenland, Canada ... and who else except Russia? Example: Which weapons do you deliver to Canada (=America) and Greenland (=Europe) so they could stop an US-American invasion there? What's wrong with the USA now? What happens with your country? You became everyone's enemy in the whole world by self-defining "make bullshit great again" and "in liars we trust".

You think sending money to a dictator saves lives?

I'm surprised you did not name some success stories of USAID installing democracy in countries. Must have been an oversight.

Go ahead . . .

Please don't say you want America to have Christian values..

I don't. Christian values are for people's spiritual beliefs, not for running a government. The part about turning the other cheek is particularly unsuited for international relations.

Jesus never advocated for any government to spend a penny - or a shekel - on feeding people in poorly-run countries.

Nah, this is a stupid idea.

 

[zaangalewa]

"U.S. of American"?
???????????????

German (=United) States of the continent America.

When you founded the USA the "Holy Roman Empire of German (=united) nation(s)" had been a still living role modell for your "in pluribus unus". Holy = basing on Christian values, Roman = rule of right, empire (=realm) of German (=united) nation(s) (Together: = realm of united nations). You define cardinals (=electors) who vote for your president - what's the eldest living model of an election. And you are a child of the enlightenment - what means truth, philosophy and science are an essential element of the "body" of the USA. This is represented in the universities of the USA - and universities since ever had an international exchange of knowledge, professors and students. Otherwise they would not be universities.

Diagnose: The "United States of [the continent] America" currently suffers a deep intoxication of the spiritual and traditional body of the USA. You fight yourselve.

 

[zaangalewa]

... Christian values are for people's spiritual beliefs, not for running a government ...

Then you eliminate for example the 'French' values equality, freedom and brotherhood. The opposite of this means to eliminate democracy and elections, to realize slavery and to let rule only mighty and rich 'elites'. This was so in the past for long centuries and milleniums and I do not think this will be a good future.

Sure you laugh, US-Russian. Stupidity always laughs on no reason to do so. For example, when one kicks the other in the balls. That's funny. The strong one wins, the weak one loses. That's why we Germans traditionally don't have any form of humor in the view to us in your world. Most of us don't laugh in such a case. You will realize this at the latest when a German kicks you in the balls without laughing.

Du bist mir schlicht und einfach zu dämlich um noch einmal mit Dir zu reden. Dasselbe gilt für deinen Präsidenten. Jede menschliche Geduld kommt irgendwann an ihr Ende wenn sie mit Vollidioten wie euch beiden zu tun hat.

You are simply too stupid for me to talk to you again. The same goes for your president. All human patience comes to an end at some point when dealing with idiots like you two.
