Summary
New Secretary of State Marco Rubio froze most foreign aid grants for three months, reportedly shocking State Department officials.
The freeze affects military aid to Ukraine, Jordan, and Taiwan, while exempting aid to Egypt and Israel.
Staff were instructed to halt nearly all existing foreign assistance programs immediately.
The move aligns with Trump’s pledge to negotiate an end to the Russia-Ukraine war, as Russia gains ground in the conflict.
Rubio’s decision has raised concerns about the broader implications for U.S. foreign policy and global alliances.
No you weren’t.
Really?
I wasn’t told that voting against Harris or not voting was going to end the Palestine genocide!?
Looks like you have a stalker that knows everything you’ve ever been told.
Nah it’s just another so-called leftist who sides with the republicans because they’re blinded by their hatred of liberals.
The dis/misinformation campaigns did a number on them.
Cut them some slack they are new at the job. It’s only a 5 day old account
Would you like to buy some snake oil? 2 bottles for the low low price of $300. It cures cancer, makes your hair grow back, treats arthritis and even helps with sleep. It’s safe for adults and children too!!
their original comment was sarcastic, no need for the condescension.
And the comment section was a joke. Trump is a snake oil salesman and everyone’s buying it? i was making a joke not trying to be an asshole. I’m sorry I offended you

No, no you weren’t. You were explicitly told that allowing and encouraging genocide would end the Harris/Biden campaign; and that America actively participating in genocide would cause the genocide to spread domestically; and that Dems refusing to differentiate themselves on this topic would disincentive voters.
You were not told, at any point, genocide would end with a trump admin. I get liberals tend to have that thing all right wingers have with their memory where you rewrite history to match your current beliefs, but you gotta try harder when you’re not in a right wing echo chamber like reddit or x.
So the leftists got mad and made the genocide worse?
It is totally a better choice then having liberals in power and working on getting better choices in the next election.
Tankies, not leftists.
Fuck them, I know several leftists and none of us want tankies among our ranks. I’ve got friends who are straight up pro abolishment of private property and THEY don’t even support authoritarians like Putin or Trump.
The important thing isn’t stopping genocide. The important thing is that leftists feel good about themselves.
The genocide is not worse. That’s not a thing. Genocide is genocide, it grows until it is stopped by force and the parties response are removed from power. Was Harris going to resign and start reforming the US to ensure foreign aid can never go to Israel as along as it’s a fascist ethnostate? No, her promise was to continue the genocide.
I’m sorry you’ll now have to do something. I’m sorry you’ll now suffer the same way you condemned others to suffer. I’m sorry you didn’t do more and accepted genocide as a necessary evil like all Nazi civilians that disagreed with Hitler did.
Maybe, just maybe, it’s be easier to admit you’re wrong and start fighting for the first time in your life.
Yeah, that’s not true. Genocides can and do get ramped up and down.

I get it, you’re feeling guilty for your decisions that led to Trump winning and further escalating the genocide, but cope in reality.

Biden did not send troops to Israel, nor did he decide to “actively aid” the genocide. Removed for misinformation.

Admit I’m wrong and start working with the people who brought Trump into power to keep their hands clean?
Sounds as effective as praying.
Well it’s that or join in on the genocide, or be a victim. Those are your three choices. We know what liberals chose to do in Nazi Germany after appointing Hitler against the evil socialists and communists; so I’m not too shocked you would join with Trump instead of admitting your mistakes and start actually working against him.
I’m a firm believer in the legalization of all drugs knowing full well that it will cause people’s death and/or their descent into addiction, sex trafficking or slavery.
Does that make it the bad option?
The difference, which I hope you know, is drugs don’t have legs or arms.
It’s funny to me, because these people criticizing us/me for “letting Trump win” are actually the ones sliding to the right. I guess liberals just aren’t used to believing in anything, so they see conviction as a failing because it’s too extreme for them, to stand for anything besides “nO tRuMp”. lol
Us liberals see that misplaced conviction is a bad thing and it’s an opportunity for education.
