Yes, though it's unclear USAID is fit for that purpose considering it also funds civil unrest and regime change so some might say is a jerk that no one likes. But questions of its effectiveness and efficiency aside, none of that answers my question about US economic dominance. Why is USAID very important when US economic dominance is high.
I was specifically wondering about that particular part of the comment by the original poster, it just seems quite interesting to me what the connection there is.
- rat87 2y ago> considering it also funds civil unrest and regime change Non crazy conspiratorial source for these huge allegations?
- starspangled 2y agoHere's one https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26876801 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-26876801 I might be able to find you a Fox News link if that would be more to your liking.

Even what you linked is basically equivalent to the US projecting soft power and pro-capitalist sentiment (inappropriate, IMO, but probably within agency mission parameters).
- starspangled 2y agoIt really doesn't matter if you know how useful that metric is or not, it is what I was specifically talking about and what the parent poster asked about. I'm just glad to be able to blow their mind by proving these "huge allegations".
