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.

Sounds as effective as praying.
Well it's that or join in on the genocide, or be a victim. Those are your three choices.

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.
Are the people who use them slugs?
Do you not care about them?
Jaqing off to unrelated topics is an interesting strategy. I wonder what other group is famous for doing so, Mr Shapiro.
You literally responded to my comment already you just haven’t answered it.
Why not?
