I agree with you 100%, and so would many of the countries you give aid to they would much prefer you stop overthrowing, the government’s stealing their natural resources and starting illegal wars.

That's all very well, but remember the US and its boss, Israel, attacks countries without just cause. It's only fitting it has to then provide humanitarian aid. A big problem is that Israel doesn't.

And I can't stand Blinken or any US Administrations as they are all warmongers.

[@Smooth_As_Silkk]

Yep, absolutely. Even the justification for Afghanistan was questionable. The Taliban were willing to give Bin Laden over, just not to the US, who they quite rightly believed would not give him a fair trial. They wanted to give him to a Neutral country that wouldn't be pressured to hand him over to the US, but this was supposedly unacceptable. After 9/11 the US was bombing Kabul the Taliban was asking for evidence that Bin Laden was the culprit. Because they say that he had been effectively detained for the previous couple of years since he came back from Sudan. The US wouldn't hold off and they didn't want to listen they wanted a war.
