There has to be some form of laundering scheme under the table. I refuse to believe these manifestly corrupt, even if moronic, politicians would ever give anything altruistically.
Let me re-phrase that. I think specific people benefit from this policy. Like, Joe and Hunter embezzle x number of money (or like we see in Ukraine, the Ukranians embezzle it, invest it into a ponzi scheme, and then the ponzi scheme distributes funds to share blue).
But we're not war profiteering as a nation. We're not doing like what Trump did, where we promised to sell millions of dollars in arms to the Saudis for their war in Yemen, because it would keep defense contractors employed. I think the corruption is actually more specific than that.
Yep. How do you give away $150 million dollars? Who do you give it to? Who distributes it? The answer is NGOs, hilariously named as they are fully staffed and organized by the government.
This is patronage. The system rewarding its friends and punishing its enemies. Nothing more.
