The US is falling apart over here. Should the US be involved and why didn't another country ride in on their high horse?

    Well since Africa has been the dumping ground and resource rape by many countries not just the U.S. They didnโ€™t have the infrastructure or logistics to prevent something like this and relied on US aid.

    I'm right there with ya. The U.S. is quickly turning into a 3rd world country banana republic. It's time for other nations to pickup the slack and realize that red, white and blue cow ain't always available for milking.

    Especially because our president is literally taking our tax money for himself. Like it's insane and appalling.

    France, Britain, hell fucking Germany: what are you guys doing to help the world?

    I know that makes me sound like an elitist American piece of shit, but I'm kinda being serious. When USAID got shutdown, the next top five countries should have either come up with their own equivalent, or banded together to make something kinda like the WHO that would actually go in and provide medical assistance to people in need around the world.

    Just inject bleach or light to cure it. Or eat a tube of ivermectin. Make sure to stop collecting statistics so that no one knows if there even is a problem still.

    There, I've laid out the trump response to a viral outbreak. I hope it helps. It didn't help us.
