Anger rises over South Africa making millions in US benefits while cozying up to Iran, Russia and Hamas
‘The U.S. cannot continue to simply look the other way’
JOHANNESBURG — South Africa is under fire for spending millions of dollars talking to terror group Hamas and sending delegations for cozy negotiations with U.S. adversaries Russia and Iran. Some critics say the money would be better spent tackling the “chaos” back home.
In many cases kindness = stupidity. This is one great example.

There’s one of the most significant anchors that drags the United States down: their kindness equals stupidity.
Why is it that the USA has to play the godfather role to all of these countries that are sticking a knife in our back?
The time has long passed when the USA should concentrate on taking care of their own and cutting off the water to all foreign countries, especially the ones that are sleeping with the enemy.
That recent high isn’t the result of a slow climb, nor is it due to inflation. In constant dollars, U.S. foreign aid obligations jumped from $56.3 billion in 2021 to $70.4 billion in 2022, the latest year for which final data is available from a federal tracker.
I am sorry but I do nt get the obligation thing. Who says we are obligated. What the hell does the USA get in return for all of thei benevolence?? Nothing but a pitch fork in the back.
It would be very interesting to follow the money and see how many corrupt American politicians are getting a piece of the pie. I will guarantee you it is a significant amount. Unfortunately these bastards control and operate the world.

Look at the countries that the USA is giving billions of dollars to a year. The vast majority of them are sworn enemies of the USA who are consistently trying to overthrow us and undermine our democracy.
One of the most important factors to consider is, a good majority of the money we spend in foreign aid never gets to its intended source, the poor, needy people, it is and is gobbled up by the corrupt leaders of those governments.
In many cases kindness = stupidity.
I have always been of the opinion charity is one of the most kindest and unselfish things a person or a country can do, as long as they take care of their own first. With the current condition of the USA in some place at the poverty level, we should not be giving any country one thin dime.
You never feed the neighborhood when your own family is dying of starvation.
Gotta cut off the water to all of them immediately.
