dont attribute to malice what you can attribute to incompetence.

  Usually, I would agree, but here I think we have malice done under the plausible deniability of incompetence.

    Pretty sure its just grift and good security posture. It's not good for ones country to be dependent on another for survival (food) which is why they subsidize local production. This even occurs on the state level in the US where (I only lived in costal states) costal states enforce a minimum percentage of land towards farm usage. International aid is just not letting a disaster go to waste. Obviously you'd allocate federal money to go to some corporation to administer food in disaster area otherwise they'd go under and not donate to you. Any second order effect of wrecking economies and etc won't be attributed to you so there is only upside.

      Dedollarization fixes this issue, can't rob the world to subsidize crops and x,y,z in the future.
