But sending billions of dollars to fund wars overseas is done because it’s humanitarian and the “right thing to do”.

How the homeless are treated tells me all I need to know about the people in power.

The reason is not “humanitarian and the right thing to do” it’s to send tax payer dollars to the enormous war companies in the US. There’s even leaked voice memos of these CEOs assuring investors “there is still plenty of instability” to prop up profits. It’s a disgrace.

Aid sent abroad isn't humanitarian, it's to buy political and strategic favours from autocrats.
