You can totally tell this guy is sold on American exceptionalism, and views us as the metropole of the great empire. Let me point out something, we lost our strongman in Egypt, and while they are in the midst of trying to get their shit together, I can assure you that they don't give a fuck what we think.
Your breakdown of aid is thoughtless. We are trying to setup governments in Afghanistan and Iraq so we dont have to have our own military keep the peace, why you would link our funds towards the two countries we started wars in with another separate one that is holding steady and using it to go against our wishes is a just a testament to your lack of understanding. See, when you fund a country to set something up, or for development, or humanitarian aid, it is different than funding an established government which signifies support for the current status quo. And seeing as 2.99 billion of the 3 billion went to the Israeli military, have a reasonable think about it.
