I was reading that one as sarcastic, despite lack of /s And USAID is a decent counterpoint. The US HAS done good things! We’ve also done a HUGE amount of horrible ones and atrocities. Also we’ve got a habit of ALMOST eradicating some of the worst diseases of all time from the face of the planet and then going “ehhhh, it’s the third world’s problem now” so they can come back some years later despite having done 95% of the work.
In the same way that billionaires can do good things, the US can do good things and still be bad. We are absolutely capable of being good. This is a choice.
