    Why is the world structured around our interests so much?

    P.S You know that’s why he went after USAID, or The United States Agency of International Development… Because it was a big part of how the CIA pays for the world order that benefits America, and goes against places like Russia.

    From Wikipedia:

    U.S. national interests

    Congress appropriates exceptional financial assistance to allies to support U.S. geopolitical interests, mainly in the form of “Economic Support Funds” (ESF). USAID is called on to administer the bulk (90%) of ESF[67] and is instructed: “To the maximum extent feasible, [to] provide [ESF] assistance … consistent with the policy directions, purposes, and programs of [development assistance].”[68]

    Going after USAID wasn’t about going stopping US aid to other countries, it was about ending the American world order.
