60 USAID Officials Removed From Duty
According to media reports, President Trump has removed the entire leadership structure of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), previously run by Samantha Power.
This is not necessarily a domestic issue. Those who walk the deepest political weeds well understand that USAID is the cover agency for the interventionist efforts of the CIA. USAID is the agency silo that coordinates the meddling in foreign elections, organizes the revolutions and political opposition of those deemed out of alignment with global democratic norms, funds the NGOs who do the ground operations, and generally seeks to replace foreign leaders.
President Trump has just removed the entire leadership structure of the USAID enterprise, approximately 60 government officials. You can bet that nationalist leaders of foreign countries are smiling now while Brussels (EU Commission) is left wondering who will pay for the foot soldiers.
In other words, this means that the US might find it more difficult for a while to stage colour revolutions against popular and constitutionally conservative leaders like Viktor Orban. This is, a great thing. In fact, those I know of the left that spat nails about the US because of their foreign interference should be joyful about this. But I think we all know how it will actually play out in the leftist press.
