Taking away life saving medication from over 20 million people takes the cake for me. After having visited Auschwitz and Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I'm really having trouble relating to friends and colleagues who are with the administration on this.
This is not to say the other concerns aren't valid.
- cantrecallmypwd 2y agoAgreed. That's pretty craptastic. And the cutting of ongoing AIDS treatment in South Africa and the oxygen bottles in places like Myanmar and Bangladesh. People have already died because their previously stable medical management resources have been cut.
- andsoitis 2y ago< And the cutting of ongoing AIDS treatment in South Africa South Africa has largely decided to align itself with countries who act against the US interest and there is also a not insignificant sentiment against American intervention / involvement in other countries ("empire"). This is what withdrawal looks like. Assistance often comes with strings attached. In my view, the withdrawal by America of intervention and support of liberal democracy around the world would be a detriment all around, but this is apparently what the American voter and many people from other countries prefer. That means in many cases throwing out the baby with the bathwater, so to speak.
