I’m no fan of some liberals calling folks they don’t like ‘Russian stooges’ or ‘Russian assets’ but, come on, if country X illegally invades country Y & you keep viciously attacking country Y & not country X, fair to say you support, or at least have a soft spot for, country X.

Some Marxists in the West see that nationalism has played an important role in the Chinese/Vietnamese/Korean/Cuban revolutions and conclude that we must build a revolutionary nationalism in the imperialist heartlands. Understandable but incorrect. There is no class basis for it.

Just because not for supporting certain policies does not mean it's to help countries become democratic or stable. It's in the oligarchy's interest. Foreign aid doesn't always but often creates client states and spheres of influence. There's a diff btw Capitalism n neoliberalism.

We give foreign aid because its in our interest to help countries develop into stable, free market, democratic and peaceful societies. It's not a payment for supporting the President's politics or policies. And it's counterproductive to withdraw it as punishment.
