USAID Shuttered

Against all rational thought, using only 1% of the national budget,  but creating global goodwill a thousand-fold USAID (12) is SHUTTERED (17) – (29).

The WORLD (16) WEEPS (13) in equal measure – (29).

As HELP (9) HOPE (16) HEART (16) are STOLEN (21) from millions – (62).

Beyond the human catastrophe, is the diplomatic catastrophe.

CHINA (9) STEPS (7) IN (2) – (18).

While RUSSIAN (9) ELATION (16) spreads – (25).

How foolish and cruel. The short sightedness evident in the numbers.

One day we will pay, when an avoidable pandemic reaches our shores.

Words Matter.
