>only like 3% of that program was spent on actual AID, like food and medicine for the third world, but most of it went to funding media, news and journalists across LatAm, Asia, Africa dn EE, that would push domestic support in those regions for US policies and be critical of US adversaries.

3%? There was a lot of waste with the program but surely, please give this at least 30 seconds of thought.

My bad, it was 5-15% of USAID that went towards food aid to countries in need.
