What was USAid?
It's a CIA front that mascarades as an aid organisation. Part of the US' soft power projection. I'm guessing for all their talk about hating China, they're really keen on China taking on the role the US has been playing since WWII, as they're simultaneously doing their best to undermine the US dollar as the global reserve currency.
Why do you think they would be keen to release power to China? Economics?
I don't know, the American Empire basically exists to serve billionaires like him, I don't see how a Chinese takeover would serve them, as they just disappear billionaires if they don't get in line.
I guess they just want to turn the USA into what Russia is now, but even there you really don't want to get on Putin's bad side or you lose everything. It's honestly very irrational IMHO, as the US has the right mix of opportunity and lack of any personal risk for the wealthy. They want to turn the US into a crime ridden shithole where they're beholden to the whims of Trump or whomever follows him.

Wow, I guess I better get used to a ton of USA events and news per day for the next years.
Probably not. Sooner rather than later most free press will be shut down by trump and the only news that anyone will get is whatever there government wants you to hear. Stories like this will disappear.
Don't you think that's a bit of a hysterical take?
Stories like this one, someone noticing that a website has been taken down, will disappear??
It's hardly the peak of investigative journalism or a complicated story requiring hundreds of hours of work by a trained journalist.

It keeps burning the wick at this rate and you'll only have to deal with it for months
lmao Trump accidentally defunding US soft power. Who is going to pay the CIA to train torturers and traffic drugs now?
Is it an accident?
Trump (and specifically, the heritage foundation) believe in isolationism. Alienating its geopolitical and geographical neighbors serves that purpose. Think of it as the groundwork for a full North Korea style break from non-state controlled culture.
He's going to utterly crash the US economy he's not going to be able to pull it off.
Destroying the Great Satan from within, Trump is truly sent by Allah.
And you people doubted the wisdom of Muslims not voting for Harris!

In 2016, Trump's issue with Libya was that we didn't send troops in to steal their oil, and then make a deal with whatever faction was willing to sell us the oil cheaply. Same with Iraq. You're are wildly overestimating his moral character if you think he is trying to dismantle the american empire.
Really silly question tbh. Trafficking drugs pays for itself and the torture. The CIA may be the only government agency making a net profit.
