my understanding is that

repayments exceed loans to third world countries by $200 billion, ie the third world is giving $200 billion a year aid to first world -

also, that 80% of loans are spent in first world countries -

also, that most aid is military, so that those countries can enforce first world control on the third world

that most aid is given to strategic countries, ie, in first world's defence interests -

so that the first world extends its power and control through the third world through national leaders who are actually first world friends or puppets [made friendly by big bribes] and the first world gets the poor to repay the loans used to buy the weapons that are used to oppress them

which when you think of it, is no different from taxing the first world poor to pay for the weapons used to oppress the home population - the usual story: kings taxing the ppl into the ground to pay for his wars of conquest at home and abroad

Name the third world countries that have the government structures in place to fairly ration trillions of dollars so they actually help the poor.

You're donations can not get ahead of the infrastructure on the ground.

Forgot to mention that some "food aid" is also USA farmer's food surplus (wheat, corn) that if were not bought by the USA govt and given away to poor countires would drive down the market price back home and hurt 1st world farmers and so as an aeconomic protective measure the smartest thing for a 1st world govt is to buy it and give it away as "aid to 3rd world countries". Its just 1st world farmers' subsidies. But doesn't it sound better when we say its a contribution to the hungry?
