This is pretty wild considering USAID is an extension of the state department, sits with the National Security Council, and closely works with the CIA. However you feel about USAID, the point of the org is to prevent humanitarian crises from becoming more expensive security issues.

Fascists will prioritize accumulating power, even if that means destroying previous allies. They don't care whether you think some of they ways they do, you've got something and they want it and might makes right.
