The Trumps & Elon tweets thread (Had to make this since it's never ending)

They are active in India, wondering whether Indian side of that organization receive any monies ?
Of course, they operate in 90 countries as per their website, even 4600/90 = $51 million, no doubt they spend many times more than that in India. https://www.crs.org/sites/default/files/crs-fin-report-2023.pdf

Nothing forensic about what DOGE is doing, they are just cutting US government programs with a chainsaw, in their own words.
From here which I expect you read already


The beautiful thing about payment systems," noted a transition official watching their screens, "is that they don't lie. You can spin policy all day long, but money leaves a trail."
That trail led to staggering discoveries. Programs marked as independent revealed coordinated funding streams. Grants labeled as humanitarian aid showed curious detours through complex networks. Black budgets once shrouded in secrecy began to unravel under algorithmic scrutiny.
^forensic enough?

All this justification you hear about 21mn going to India etc is just the PR justification for it.
What PR? There was such a program planned for India. What we want to know is it's intent.
Yes this was always public knowledge but what actually gets discussed in media is decided by politicians and their actions. You can go to internet archive yourself and see that the details of all this expense was always there.
Now we know budget was allocated, see previous question
And $21mn is a miniscule amount.
Still need to know the intent. Who is the best party to answer? Person(s) responsible for allocation of that amount.

Also don't assume there were no other Indian projects paid for earlier by USAID.

For now we don't know much. Only tip of the iceberg is showing.

I agree with the foreign office that its a 'deeply troubling' development.
