    This is a right wing talking point.

    No, that’s a fact. It was mainly used for bribery of foreign politicians and officials.

          A substack is not a paper of record. There’s no reason no believe these people have any idea what they are talking about.

            I’m sorry if you acceptable western media sources don’t report on such things

            My link has multiple citations and sources. Maybe you should read if

              Your source doesn’t even provide their name. They have no reputation for being a high quality or even passably informed source on this subject so Im not rejecting anything that should be seen as credible.

                  There’s no reason to believe the unnamed author has any understanding of those sources.

                  Are you at all familiar with how you determine if a source is worth a damn? Having sources is worthless if you don’t understand them.

                  There are no good unnamed sources.

        It’s well known fact that USAID was used to force US foreign policy agenda on other nations. The entire reason for it’s existence was foreign government interference.

          Neither of those qualify as the Lancet post does not support your claims and “thestudyias” is not a source of record.
