Like... We've killed hundreds of thousands and destroyed an entire country, then we gave $4 billion to USAID for whatever, so we're good now!

    For Yemen: $4b in aid

    Even then, it's just another attempt at propping up the Saudi backed Yemen state leadership. Just keeping the lights on in yet another brutal authoritarian dictatorship for the purposes of resource extraction.

    Like sending $4B in food aid to the Nicaraguan nun-raping Contras or bailing out some US-backed oligarch's neighborhood in Libya or Iraq. Its free sandwiches for fascists and their associates, families, and friends.
