What blatant corruption?
The fact USAID is supposed to provide aid to people around world in need of help, yet this aid is just a smoke screen to cover for the funding of coup's on governments which oppose the US empire...
This represents 0.0036% of the USAID budget...
Sure, maybe on paper...but check this out: https://scheerpost.com/2025/02/01/did-a-trump-executive-order-just-cripple-the-global-us-regime-change-network/
Regardless, why is the only aspect of USAID which was "forked" into a Trump approved department specific for coup's? Makes you think which, with nothing but love, is something it seems you should do more of when it comes to US policy.
The phrasing of this sentence is just one example of pro-Russia propaganda in an article filled with it. Of course the US spins messages and creates its own propaganda, every country does this. It's important to be able to see through spin to evaluate facts, but blindly eating up the propaganda of other nations just because you don't like the story the US is telling is not a great take.
It is factually a proxy war dude. We couped Ukraine in 2014. USAID funds their anti-Russian media. Their version of the CIA (FSB) was started by our CIA and we get them to commit acts of terrorism on Russia approx every few weeks.
