Foreign aide has become an out of control institution of funding leftwing policy goals all over the globe. It's time to take a closer look at these programs, some of which are 30-40 years old.
Yes but, in the context of foreign aid, that was a purchase, not a hand out, right?
Right.
How much of an ally are they if we have to purchase their friendship?
Tell us all about it:
Rightard 
You have no good reason to think that. The U.S. government has not been under left-wing control at any time since independence.
What are those to be used for? One sees an image of bulldozers destroying Palestinian homes.
A typical ally.
Russia is already fully sanctioned. Talking about adding something (?) to that isn’t going to “force” Putin to stop his invasion of Ukraine.
And this is fucking pathetic … Doddering Donnie sucking up to Putin by pretending Ukraine is in any way to blame for Russia’s invasion:
Doddering Donnie and Comrade RightGuide are both devoted to runty Putin.
Bullshit.
Thought RWs were into Realpolitik. Alliances between nations depend on mutual material benefit, not emotional ties and not ideological commonalities.
What "material" benefit do we get from our investments in NATO?
Friendly trade with all Europe, and, more importantly, a world Russia does not dominate. It would be a very, very bad thing for Russia to be a world power again, like it was when the Communists ruled, like it was when the tsars ruled.
BS. Russia couldn't dominate a fully armed Europe determined to defend itself. They rely upon us so they can finance their domestic socialist goals.
Not much point in reading further, is there?
That statute does not require civil servants to obey the president in all things.
That is not even arguable. There are no socialist countries in Europe any more, only social democracies.
It requires them to obey the lawful orders of the President and the law.
That lavishly pay invaders to cross their borders while funding everything except their real defensive needs.
