Turning down foreign aid because it requires us to observe human rights is kind of like a poor family refusing to participate in the conditional cash transfer program because they have to make their kids go to school.
Yeah, you know, requiring us to follow international standards that we are party to by treaty is such a drag on sovereignty yall. But letting the neighborhood bully like, crash on the couch, then claim property rights over the livingroom, that's totally cool.
This on top of all the shit thatโs been happening lately made me realize why people who could afford to leave actually left the country during martial law.
