South Sudanese children die as UЅ aid cuts shutter medical services: NGO

1. I hope other countries, EU, China and others step up and fill in the gaps. Cutting things like this without giving them time to replace funding is just psychotic and cruel.

   I hope going forward no country trusts America again, and their grip on the world disappears.

2. China has an opening to undercut US soft power in places that took decades of hard work by American NGO’s and aid agencies, all at relatively low cost.

3. I can’t remember who said it but an intellectual I was listening to argued that the greatest cruelty of all was dumping supplies into a country and allowing their population to grow larger than the country had the means to support in the event the aid was shut off.

   The argument was more about how aid should be centered on developing infrastructure.

   This is the culmination of lazy compassion.

4. Hope other countries step up and do something for once.

   The US is no longer reliable for anything, so if you care about Sudan and similar now is the time.
