All foreign aid is quid pro quo

Yup

They're just going to use "but, but Trump used it to "dig up dirt" on Biden".

Shhhhhhhhhhh

OMB

It's only bad when Trump spends the money before the U.S. embassy employees (like he spent the money on Javelins to the Ukraine) in said country can spend the money on NGO's like the Clinton Foundation, McCain Institute, Atlantic Council, etc. (who in turn send it back to the U.S. in the form of campaign contributions before taking a substantial amout off the top to cover their "non-profit" expenses).

Foreign aid is mostly a tax payer funded money laundering operation.

The dirt on Biden is there, Obama administration called meetings on it, our Press had it, and it was all covered up, and no one would have known if Hillary won. Truth!

his bragging about meddling in their domestic affairs is sickening...yet, it's a crime to investigate his admitted crime

You didn't know that Democrat presidential candidates are immune to criminal investigations?

And for years I have wondered where all that money goes. Many of the countries we give it to still hate us. Many of them still represent national security risks. None of them have been accountable for where that money goes.

Just where does it go anyway?

I am glad POTUS is concerned with accountability and burden sharing.

20% goes to the countries for plausible deniability. ("Hey, they got their MREs and blankets.")

20% goes to the country's politicians to enrich them, capture them and keep their pie holes shut.

60% goes to NGOs and NGOs distribute as necessary to keep the gravy train rolling.

In Ukraine's case...

The money goes to Ukraine, it is skimmed before going and when it gets there (% unknown), then the remainder is used to purchase U.S. equipment...

In other words, the vast majority of the money goes full circle right back to the pockets of defense suppliers and contractors, who in turn donate to politicians...

The only reason anyone gives a shite about holding up aide to another country is it is fricking with their cookie jar...

yep
