Summary

New Secretary of State Marco Rubio froze most foreign aid grants for three months, reportedly shocking State Department officials.

The freeze affects military aid to Ukraine, Jordan, and Taiwan, while exempting aid to Egypt and Israel.

Staff were instructed to halt nearly all existing foreign assistance programs immediately.

The move aligns with Trump’s pledge to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, as Russia gains ground in the conflict.

Rubio’s decision has raised concerns about the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and global alliances.

    So the leftists got mad and made the genocide worse?

    It is totally a better choice then having liberals in power and working on getting better choices in the next election.

      Tankies, not leftists.

      Fuck them, I know several leftists and none of us want tankies among our ranks. I’ve got friends who are straight up pro abolishment of private property and THEY don’t even support authoritarians like Putin or Trump.

      The important thing isn’t stopping genocide. The important thing is that leftists feel good about themselves.

      The genocide is not worse. That’s not a thing. Genocide is genocide, it grows until it is stopped by force and the parties response are removed from power. Was Harris going to resign and start reforming the US to ensure foreign aid can never go to Israel as along as it’s a fascist ethnostate? No, her promise was to continue the genocide.

      I’m sorry you’ll now have to do something. I’m sorry you’ll now suffer the same way you condemned others to suffer. I’m sorry you didn’t do more and accepted genocide as a necessary evil like all Nazi civilians that disagreed with Hitler did.

      Maybe, just maybe, it’s be easier to admit you’re wrong and start fighting for the first time in your life.

        Yeah, that’s not true. Genocides can and do get ramped up and down.

            I get it, you’re feeling guilty for your decisions that led to Trump winning and further escalating the genocide, but cope in reality.

            Biden did not send troops to Israel, nor did he decide to “actively aid” the genocide. Removed for misinformation.

                  Where the fuck did I talk about US troops?

                  Beside, wouldn’t be the first time, you keep removing what’s inconvenient for your denialist agenda.

                    The comment I removed prior to your reply specifically talked about US troops being sent to Israel, which I noted in my reply as misinfornation.

                    Your reply of, essentially, “Nuh uh!!” did nothing to address that statement.

                    If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you probably should stay out of it.

        Admit I’m wrong and start working with the people who brought Trump into power to keep their hands clean?

        Sounds as effective as praying.

          Well it’s that or join in on the genocide, or be a victim. Those are your three choices. We know what liberals chose to do in Nazi Germany after appointing Hitler against the evil socialists and communists; so I’m not too shocked you would join with Trump instead of admitting your mistakes and start actually working against him.

            I’m a firm believer in the legalization of all drugs knowing full well that it will cause people’s death and/or their descent into addiction, sex trafficking or slavery.

            Does that make it the bad option?
