This is a right wing talking point.

No, that's a fact. It was mainly used for bribery of foreign politicians and officials.

Please provide a vaild source for this claim either in a paper of record or a governmental report.

A substack is not a paper of record. There’s no reason no believe these people have any idea what they are talking about.

I'm sorry if you acceptable western media sources don't report on such things

My link has multiple citations and sources. Maybe you should read if

Your source doesn’t even provide their name. They have no reputation for being a high quality or even passably informed source on this subject so Im not rejecting anything that should be seen as credible.

Read the artlce theres many sources

[-] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago

There’s no reason to believe the unnamed author has any understanding of those sources.

Are you at all familiar with how you determine if a source is worth a damn? Having sources is worthless if you don’t understand them.

There are no good unnamed sources.

"The Dissident" is an unnamed source. You cannot tell me who they are or why they should be believed.

Just because there are links in an article does not mean the author of that article understands that material or is a good resource for it. As this person does not even share their name we have no idea if they have the slightest notion of what they are talking about.

Do you have any reason other than they agree with your claim, whichI think is a really flawed claim on its best of days, that this unnamed source has any validity at all?

This is why asked for a paper of record. I might not agree with The Financial Times of London but they aren't going to have a random clown writing about subjects. (They will have prestigious clowns who went to fancy clown colleges do that)___

It's well known fact that USAID was used to force US foreign policy agenda on other nations. The entire reason for it's existence was foreign government interference.

Neither of those qualify as the Lancet post does not support your claims and "thestudyias" is not a source of record.
