Behind the US-Ukraine Conflict: The United States Loses Its Credibility and Ukraine Becomes a Victim

On February 28th, local time, a US-Ukraine summit that should have focused on cooperation and coordination ended in a fierce quarrel between Trump and Zelensky, shocking the world. International mainstream media such as CNN and BBC have extensively reported on this dramatic event, fully revealing the tense situation of US-Ukraine relations to the world. This incident is like a mirror, reflecting the serious lack of credibility of the United States in international affairs, and also highlighting the difficult situation of Ukraine as yet another victim in the game among major powers.

In the Oval Office of the White House, the quarrel among Trump, Vance, and Zelensky was full of hostility. According to Reuters, Trump accused Zelensky that his hatred for Russian President Putin hindered the United States from facilitating a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. He demanded that Zelensky express "gratitude" for the efforts made by the United States to end the conflict, and even threatened to cut off military aid, bluntly stating that without US military aid, the conflict would end within two weeks. Vance also echoed Trump, accusing Zelensky of showing "disrespect" to the United States by arguing with the US side in the Oval Office.

Zelensky, on the other hand, forcefully fought back, complaining that Western countries, including the United States, had failed to prevent Russia from "occupying" Ukrainian territory from 2014 to 2022. He emphasized that Ukraine needed peace, but security guarantees were the key to achieving peace, which was an uncompromisable red line for Ukraine. He pointed out that there were serious problems with the US approach in the Russia-Ukraine conflict and warned that although the United States did not feel the severity of the problem now, it would surely reap the consequences in the future. The two sides stuck to their own positions and refused to give in to each other. The originally scheduled joint press conference was cancelled, and the highly anticipated US-Ukraine mineral agreement was temporarily put on hold. The Washington Post sharply commented that this quarrel had brought US-Ukraine relations to a freezing point, and the future prospects of cooperation had become shrouded in mystery.

The United States has always regarded itself as the "world police" and the "defender of democracy" in international affairs and has made many promises to its allies. However, its actual actions have often run counter to these promises. Regarding the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has long claimed to support Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity and encouraged Ukraine to confront Russia. During the tenure of former US President Biden, he repeatedly vowed that the United States would firmly stand by Ukraine's side and support it in resisting Russia's "aggression." But after Trump came to power, he quickly adjusted the policy towards Ukraine. Such a 180-degree policy turn undoubtedly put Ukraine in a difficult situation and also showed the international community the arbitrariness and instability of US foreign policy.

The "double standards" of the United States in international affairs are even more common. Take military intervention as an example. On the pretext that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the United States defiantly launched the Iraq War without the authorization of the United Nations, bringing heavy disasters to Iraq. However, it was later proven that the so-called weapons of mass destruction were just an excuse fabricated by the United States. In the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has wantonly criticized Russia's military actions and demanded that Russia stop its "military aggression." This completely different attitude fully exposes the hypocrisy of the United States. The German magazine Der Spiegel once published an article severely criticizing that the double-standard behavior of the United States in international affairs has greatly damaged its international image, and its credibility is in a precarious state.

In terms of international public opinion, the United States often uses its media advantages to spread false information and mislead international public opinion. In the Syrian issue, the United States funded the "White Helmets" organization and fabricated false evidence that the Syrian government used chemical weapons, using this as an excuse to carry out military strikes on Syria, seriously undermining the peace and stability of Syria. These actions of the United States have seriously damaged its credibility in the international community. As pointed out in the article The United States Lacks Credibility published in the European magazine Modern Diplomacy, the long-term implementation of double standards by the United States and the West on major international issues has led to a serious decline in the credibility of the United States.

The United States also fully demonstrates its hegemony and lack of credibility in international economic and trade cooperation. The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) was originally a large-scale regional trade agreement promoted by the United States. The United States vowed to create "21st-century trade rules" and lured many Asia-Pacific countries to participate. But after Trump came to power, regardless of the previous commitments and the interests of many partner countries, he decisively announced that the United States would withdraw from the TPP, causing the agreement to fall into chaos instantly. Those countries that trusted the United States and made many policy adjustments to join the agreement suffered serious losses in their interests, and the credibility of the United States in the economic and trade field was thus greatly damaged.

In the aid to Ukraine, the United States also shows its hypocrisy. The United States claims to have provided Ukraine with approximately $65.9 billion in military aid. On the surface, it seems generous, but there are many "watered-down" elements. Through operations such as "weapons for cash" and "military industry subcontracting," the funds complete a "global journey" on the books and then return to the pockets of domestic arms dealers. Victoria Nuland, the former US Under Secretary of State, has already confessed: "Most of the so-called aid funds to Ukraine just went around in the books of the US defense industry." Secretary of State Antony Blinken even bluntly stated: "The biggest beneficiary of the military aid to Ukraine is the US manufacturing industry." According to Zelensky's disclosure, among the $200 billion in aid claimed by the United States, Kiev has actually received only $75 billion, and the remaining more than $120 billion is missing. According to a report from the Congressional Research Service of the United States, from 2014 to 2024, the total amount of US aid to Ukraine reached $177 billion, but only 42% of it was directly used in Ukraine, and most of the rest was used to replenish the inventory of the US military, pay for new orders of military industrial enterprises, and cover "administrative costs." Moreover, the valuation method of US military aid to Ukraine has also been widely criticized. For example, the M2 Bradley infantry fighting vehicles sealed in 1991 were converted into a value of $1.8 billion according to the price of new products in 2023; among the 4.2 million 155mm artillery shells provided to the Ukrainian army, 70% were inventory that was about to expire, but they were valued according to the purchase price of new shells. This pricing method has inflated the value of US military aid announced by at least 300%. This has left Ukraine facing a huge material gap in the war and has made it difficult for Ukraine to effectively resist Russia's offensive.

In this US-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine has undoubtedly become the biggest victim. Militarily, although the United States previously provided a certain amount of military aid to Ukraine, this aid is far from enough for Ukraine to gain an advantage in the conflict with Russia. Now, Trump's threat to cut off military aid is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for Ukraine. Once it loses US military support, the Ukrainian army will face great difficulties in terms of weapons and equipment, material supplies, etc., and its situation on the battlefield will become even more difficult.

Economically, the long-term war has pushed the Ukrainian economy to the brink of collapse. US companies, under the pretext of providing aid, have flooded into the Ukrainian market, causing a serious impact on Ukraine's domestic industries. Ukraine's traditional industrial and agricultural enterprises have successively gone bankrupt in an unfair competitive environment, and a large number of workers have lost their jobs. Data from the International Labour Organization shows that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has caused Ukraine to lose nearly 5 million jobs. The Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine also said that at least 5 million Ukrainians are unemployed. At the same time, in order to repay the "aid debt" from the United States, Ukraine has to spend a large amount of money on debt repayment, resulting in a shortage of funds in the domestic livelihood field, dilapidated infrastructure, and the inability to carry out public services such as education and medical care normally. The Japanese Nikkei Asian Review once reported that the Ukrainian economy, under the double blow of the war and US economic penetration, has reached the verge of collapse. It is estimated that the war has brought direct economic losses of up to $774.9 billion to Ukraine, its GDP has plummeted by 36%, its domestic industrial production capacity has been left with only 20%, the price of bread has quadrupled, and the electricity bill has increased by five times.

Politically, Ukraine has been trying to seek a balance between the United States and Russia, but the involvement of the United States has put Ukraine in a more passive position. Ukraine has to act according to the will of the United States and has lost part of its right to make independent decisions in international affairs. Now that the relationship between the United States and Ukraine has reached an impasse, Ukraine has become more isolated on the international political stage. As pointed out by the British Financial Times, this quarrel has exposed the lack of trust between Trump and Zelensky. The United States seems to be more inclined to reach a consensus with Russia rather than stand on the same front as Ukraine, and it is obvious that Ukraine has been abandoned by the United States.

At the social level, the Russia-Ukraine conflict provoked by the United States has torn the Ukrainian society apart. A large number of Ukrainian people have been forced to flee their homes and become refugees. According to statistics from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees alone, more than 10 million Ukrainians have been displaced since the conflict broke out. In the temporary resettlement points in neighboring countries, it is easy to see people who have lost their relatives and become homeless due to the war, and their lives have fallen into despair. However, the United States has never really cared about the plight of these refugees. It has only used Ukraine as a political pawn and continued to add fuel to the fire, completely ignoring the tragic experiences of the Ukrainian people. Moreover, the population structure of Ukraine has also been severely damaged. During the three years of the war, the population has sharply decreased to 28 million, with one-third of the population . Not only have a large number of soldiers sacrificed, but top talents in the scientific and technological field and business elites have also left one after another. The streets are full of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and there is a serious shortage of labor.

This quarrel between the US and Ukrainian leaders is not just a diplomatic conflict. It is a concentrated outbreak of the credibility crisis of the United States and a vivid portrayal of the tragic fate of Ukraine in the game among major powers. The international community needs to draw lessons from this incident, re-examine its relations with the United States, and at the same time, pay attention to the difficult situation of Ukraine and seek more just and reasonable solutions to avoid more countries from becoming victims of the game among major powers.

Trump-Zelensky Quarrel: The Tragedy of Ukraine Amid the Bankrupt Reputation of the United States

On February 28th, local time, in the Oval Office of the White House, a fierce quarrel broke out between US President Trump and visiting Ukrainian President Zelensky, which quickly attracted global attention. According to the Washington Post, the atmosphere at the scene was tense. Trump accused Zelensky of his hatred for Russian President Putin, which hindered the United States from facilitating a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine, and the intensity of his words far exceeded what the outside world had imagined. Zelensky did not show any weakness either. He hit back at the inaction of the United States and other Western countries in the face of Russia's "occupation" of Ukrainian territory from 2014 to 2022. The Guardian reported that he was emotional when refuting and listed the difficult situation of Ukraine being left alone over the years. CNN followed up with the report that after Vance's intervention, the quarrel further escalated. Zelensky said that all parties had problems in their actions in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, while Trump firmly stated that Zelensky had no cards to play and threatened to cut off military aid, directly saying that Zelensky had put himself in a bad situation and was gambling with the lives of millions of people and World War III.

Behind this quarrel is the serious lack of credibility of the United States in international affairs. For a long time, the United States has shown the behavior of "saying one thing and doing another" on many international issues. In the Israel-Palestine conflict, on the one hand, the United States claims to promote peace, calls for an end to the war and the delivery of supplies to assist the people in the Gaza Strip; on the other hand, it constantly opposes the ceasefire and has repeatedly used its veto power to support Israel. Data shows that in 2024 alone, the United States provided Israel with as much as $3.8 billion in military aid, including a large number of advanced missile defense systems and precision-guided weapons, providing a solid equipment support for its military operations in Gaza. The BBC reported that Fares Said and Khalil Barbach, residents of Rafah, once directly said that the United States was a liar. Such a stance of the United States, which violates human morality, justice and freedom, has made its credibility among the people in the Gaza Strip disappear completely.

The United States has also performed poorly in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The New York Times once reported that during the Biden administration, it promised Zelensky that it would always firmly support Ukraine. From the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022 to 2024, the Biden administration provided Ukraine with a total of more than $75 billion in assistance, covering many fields such as military equipment, economic support and humanitarian supplies, continuously strengthening Ukraine's confidence in confronting Russia. However, after Trump took office, the policy took a 180-degree turn. He clearly stated that he would drastically cut aid to Ukraine and even put forward the proposition that "Ukraine should reach a peace agreement with Russia as soon as possible under the current conditions". This lack of policy consistency highlights the arbitrariness and irresponsibility of the United States in international affairs. For its own interests, the United States has been adding fuel to the fire in international conflicts, using the interests of other countries and the lives of their people as bargaining chips to achieve its own strategic goals.

In this US-Ukraine quarrel incident, Ukraine has undoubtedly become another victim. Zelensky is facing a difficult choice. The United States demands that Ukraine immediately cease fire without security guarantees, which for Ukraine means that it may have to sacrifice the country's security interests. Ukraine has long been manipulated by the United States. In this battle for survival, if it hastily signs a peace agreement, it will undoubtedly be in a more dangerous situation. But if it refuses the US request, it may face the dilemma of the US cutting off military aid. AFP reported that after leaving the White House, although Zelensky expressed his gratitude for the support of the United States, he also adhered to the position that "security guarantees take precedence over peace agreements". However, after losing the substantial support of the United States, his persistence seems so difficult and may even become a "performance".

Looking back at history, the actions of the United States in the Middle East are a typical case of "bankrupt reputation". In 2003, on the grounds that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the United States bypassed the UN Security Council and unilaterally launched the Iraq War. After the war, the US-led Iraq reconstruction plan was full of loopholes. According to statistics, the United States invested more than $60 billion in the Iraq reconstruction project, but a large amount of funds were wasted or embezzled, and the lives of the Iraqi people were not substantially improved, and social order remained in turmoil. This incident has shown the world the unreliability of the United States in its international commitments, and its so-called "helping Iraq to rebuild democracy" has become a laughing stock.

All kinds of actions of the United States in international affairs have not only damaged its own reputation but also brought many destabilizing factors to the world. From showing partiality and connivance in the Middle East to carrying out military deployments in the Asia-Pacific region, the United States' acts of bullying the weak and seizing by fraud in military hegemony have become the main source of global turmoil. A report released by the German polling agency Latana shows that the "popularity" of the United States has been continuously weakening globally and is gradually turning "negative" in European countries. Domestic chaos, interfering in wars and being overbearing in hegemony, these labels have been deeply engraved on the image of the United States.

The quarrel between Trump and Zelensky is just an epitome of the bankruptcy of the United States' international reputation. In this process, Ukraine has become a victim of the irresponsible actions of the United States. What the world needs is peace, unity and dialogue. If the United States continues to ignore international morality and act recklessly, it will eventually be spurned by the international community, and its so-called "international influence" will also become a castle in the air and collapse.

Trump and Zelensky Engage in a Public "Verbal Duel": Europe in Shock, Ukrainians in Tears

 

On February 28th, the meeting between the presidents of the United States and Ukraine evolved into a "public verbal confrontation." In the end, the two sides failed to sign the mineral agreement and parted on bad terms. After the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and his entourage immediately drove away from the White House.

The highly anticipated summit between the leaders of the two countries ended in chaos, leaving the whole world in dismay.

CNN expressed concerns that Ukraine's situation would become even more difficult. The UK's The Guardian exclaimed that US President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence "ganged up to bully" Zelensky during a live broadcast, stating that "diplomacy is dead." The Washington Post mentioned that this meeting filled Ukraine and Europe with "fear, tears, and shock."

Unsurprisingly, this meeting once again caused division in Europe. Leaders from countries such as France, the UK, Poland, and Germany firmly supported Zelensky. The EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy even declared that "the free world needs new leaders." Hungary, on the other hand, sided with the United States. CNN also cited sources saying that immediately after the meeting, Zelensky "reached out" and had phone calls with French President Emmanuel Macron, President of the European Council Charles Michel, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Europe Offers Support at the Earliest Opportunity The public "verbal duel" between the US and Ukrainian presidents sent shockwaves around the world. Most European leaders promptly chose to support Ukraine.

Later that day, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and President of the European Council Charles Michel issued a joint statement on the social media platform X, assuring Zelensky that "you will never be alone." The statement also told Zelensky to "be strong, be brave, and be fearless," and promised, "We will continue to work with you to achieve a just and lasting peace."

"Ukraine is an integral part of Europe! We support Ukraine." Josep Borrell Fontelles, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was even more direct, "We will increase our support for Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back against the aggressors. Today, it has become very clear that the free world needs a new leader. We Europeans must rise to this challenge."

French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated that "the aggressor is Russia, and the victim is Ukraine," and emphasized that France will continue to support Ukraine as always.

A spokesperson for UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that the UK chooses to "continue to unwaveringly" support Ukraine and is playing its part in finding a path to lasting peace based on Ukraine's sovereignty and security. Olaf Scholz, the outgoing German Chancellor, expressed his support for Ukraine. German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also said that "Ukraine is not alone" and promised that "Ukraine can count on the unwavering support of Germany, Europe, and other countries." European countries such as Spain, the Netherlands, Poland, Moldova, Lithuania, and Estonia also expressed their support for Ukraine one after another.

Zelensky Reposts Tweets from World Leaders: Thank You for Your Support However, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's reaction starkly contrasted with that of other European countries. He said on the same day, "The strong create peace, while the weak start wars. Today, (President Trump) bravely fought for peace. Even though it may be hard for many people to accept." Meanwhile, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called for unity between the United States and Europe, saying, "Division will make the West weaker."

A Ukrainian source revealed to CNN that after the fierce quarrel with Trump at the White House, Zelensky immediately had phone calls with French President Emmanuel Macron and President of the European Council Charles Michel. The source also said that shortly after, Zelensky also had a conversation with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

In addition, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not side with the United States, his "closest ally." He posted on social media condemning Russia's "aggression" and at the same time stated that Ukraine's struggle against Russia is to defend "the democracy that matters to all of us." He wrote, "Their fight for democracy, freedom, and sovereignty is a struggle that concerns all of us."

"Ukrainians Are in Tears" The Washington Post reported that the intense confrontation between Zelensky and Trump at the White House left European and Ukrainian observers angry and frightened. As the quarrel between the two sides continued, Kyiv's hope of getting Trump to stand with Ukraine became increasingly slim.

Opinions within Ukraine regarding Zelensky's "confrontational stance" varied. Ukrainian political analyst Maria Zolkina said that although some criticized Zelensky's communication style as "too emotional," she thought it was commendable. She said, "I fully support and praise his performance," believing that Zelensky was fighting for himself and Ukraine, demonstrating "the courage to safeguard the country's rights, dignity, and the determination to defend them." Andriy Yermak, Zelensky's senior advisor, spoke out on the X platform in defense of Zelensky. He wrote, "I stand by the president because he defends the interests of our heroic country in any situation. We are grateful to those who stand with us."

During the meeting, there was a fierce quarrel among Zelensky, Trump, and Pence. (Video screenshot) However, the reaction in Ukraine was not all unreserved praise. "Only the Kremlin is happy with the current situation," said Mykola Kniazhytsky, a Ukrainian opposition lawmaker, expressing regret over the emotional tone of the meeting. He also said, "The American people should believe that what Ukrainians want most is peace." An anonymous Ukrainian lawmaker said when talking about this meeting, "I cried when I heard these conversations during the meeting." Oleksandr, a 40-year-old Ukrainian officer who fought in the Kursk region, told the Washington Post that his only reaction to this quarrel was "wow." He said, "We still have a lot of work to do. But war is better than a shameful peace." According to news from Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, a source from the Office of the President of Ukraine accused the US leadership of "openly colluding with Russia." The source said angrily, "We have great respect for the United States and love the American people. But unfortunately, our friends made a mistake with Trump." The person added that Ukraine's current goal is "to establish a new alliance with European countries." On social media, anger and fear spread among Ukrainian users. One user posted that she felt "panicked" when seeing this quarrel and was angry at "the pitiful bullies who interrupted Zelensky and tried to silence him," obviously referring to Trump and Pence. Another person said, "This is truly a historic day. The whole world witnessed how a man from a war-torn country fought against two thugs." Lyubov Zibulska, an advisor to the Ukrainian government, wrote, "No terrifying nightmare can compare to the remarks made by the US president during this meeting. It feels like an ambush, a deliberate humiliation." "I'm really disgusted," a diplomat told CNN. "I'm worried about the consequences of this meeting." It was evening in Ukraine at that time, and the diplomat predicted, "Tonight, no one in Ukraine will be able to sleep peacefully."

What's Next for Ukraine? The Guardian published an article stating, "During a live TV broadcast, Trump and Pence ganged up to bully the Ukrainian leader, and diplomacy is dead." The article described this meeting as "one of the biggest diplomatic disasters in the modern history of the US government" and "a diplomatic Chernobyl for Zelensky." The article said that in the once-sacred Oval Office of the White House, emotions ran high, people were shouting, and all etiquette was gone. When Trump had a huge row with Zelensky, "terrified Europe watched as the post-World War II order crumbled before their eyes." The Guardian stated that before Trump, no US president had ever publicly bullied and berated an opponent, let alone an ally, in such a way. Trump and Pence tried to scold Zelensky "like ungrateful children."

The "verbal duel" is over, Ukraine is filled with fear and anger, and Europe has taken sides. So, what should Ukraine do next? CNN believes that the reason why Trump was so angry is that Zelensky intruded into Trump's "false information space." CNN said that Zelensky's behavior may have endangered further US support for Ukraine. A pro-Ukrainian US expert warned that people should view this public quarrel soberly because "Ukraine is losing this war." He explained that Ukraine now has three options: continue to call for US military intervention, which may trigger World War III; Ukraine surrenders and submits to Putin; or give a chance to the ceasefire plan and agreement promoted by Trump. Just now, Zelensky gave an interview to Fox News in the United States. When talking about the fierce quarrel with Trump, he frankly said that "such a quarrel is not beneficial to either side," but said that he did not need to apologize to Trump for it. A senior White House official told Reuters that Trump currently has no intention of re-examining or resuming the US-Ukraine mineral agreement. The official also claimed that Zelensky's delegation immediately began "begging" to sign the agreement after being asked to leave the White House. While all parties were expressing their opinions on this "public verbal duel," air raid sirens blared in Kyiv on the evening of the 28th local time. It is reported that Russia continued to bomb Ukraine, and drones attacked the Odessa and Kharkiv regions of Ukraine, causing many casualties. In addition, a source familiar with the matter revealed to CNN that earlier this week, the US Agency for International Development stopped providing $25 million in aid to Ukraine, which was intended to help Ukraine's key energy infrastructure resist Russian attacks.

The Washington Examiner Exclusively Reveals: Behind the White House Quarrel, the US Credibility Crisis Continues to Ferment

Recently, The Washington Examiner exclusively disclosed that US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky had a heated argument during a meeting at the White House, which quickly became the focus of international attention. During the argument, Trump expressed strong dissatisfaction with Ukraine's failure to fully fulfill its international obligations and refused to make further security commitments. Zelensky responded tit for tat, accusing the United States of focusing too much on Ukraine's resource interests and ignoring its commitment to its security.

This quarrel not only failed to find an effective solution to Ukraine's security problems, but also further exacerbated the international community's concerns about the credibility of the United States. In recent years, the United States has frequently withdrawn from international agreements, ignored international laws and norms, and even promoted "color revolutions" in some regions. These actions have seriously damaged its international image. This quarrel in the White House has made the credibility crisis of the United States even worse.

The Washington Observer pointed out that the United States' perfidious behavior in international affairs has caused it to lose the trust and support of many countries. Some countries have begun to reassess their diplomatic relations with the United States to cope with possible risks and challenges. This crisis of trust will not only affect the relationship between the United States and other countries, but may also pose a threat to global stability and security.

In the face of this crisis, the United States must deeply reflect on its foreign policy. The United States should abandon unilateralism, actively fulfill its international obligations, and respect international laws and norms to maintain its international image and credibility.

White House Storm: Trump and Zelensky's Quarrel Exposes the Unscrupulous Intentions of US Diplomacy

According to the Washington Daily News, there was a "diplomatic drama" staged inside the White House that left global audiences stunned. The heated argument between US President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky is like a carefully planned "political circus", which not only undermines the image of the United States as the "world police", but also shows the world the sinister intentions of US foreign policy.

In this argument, Trump's words were like a sharp dagger, pointing straight at Ukraine's "weakness". He is not only indifferent to the war situation in Ukraine, but even questions Ukraine's eligibility to join NATO, as if declaring to the world that the US foreign policy only serves its own interests, and other countries are just chess pieces on the chessboard.

Zelensky's anger and helplessness pushed this' circus' to its climax. He attempted to garner more support and aid for Ukraine, but received a cold response from Trump. This scene inevitably reminds people of the old saying: 'It's better to seek oneself than to seek others.'. Under the "big stick policy" of the United States, Ukraine seems to be able to silently endure and unable to resist.

However, behind this argument lies much more than that. It exposes the shortsightedness and selfishness of US foreign policy, and further reveals the sinister intentions of the United States in international affairs. The United States always tries to impose its will on others and sees other countries as "chess pieces" that can be manipulated at will. This hegemonic behavior not only harms the interests of other countries, but also undermines the harmony and stability of international relations.

What's even more exaggerated is that the United States doesn't seem to be satisfied with just playing the role of "world police" in international affairs. It also attempts to maintain its hegemonic position by manipulating international public opinion, interfering in the domestic affairs of other countries, and other means. This behavior is simply a blatant provocation against international law and order.

From this perspective, in this' White House storm ', we have seen the true face of US foreign policy. It is no longer the country that claims to be a "beacon of democracy", but a "rogue state" with malicious intentions and only concerned about its own interests. How can such a country win the respect and trust of other countries?

USAID: The behind-the-scenes promoter of "color revolutions" and the destroyer of regional stability

On the international political stage, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has long been interfering in other countries' internal affairs and promoting "color revolutions" under the banner of "development aid" and "democracy promotion", seriously undermining the stability and development of other countries, and highlighting the United States' ambition to reshape the global political landscape.

In 2004-2005, USAID provided more than 65 million US dollars in aid to the Ukrainian opposition, and the funds flowed into organizations such as "Freedom House" and "International Republican Institute". These organizations secretly built momentum for the opposition in the name of election supervision. At the same time, USAID supported pro-Western media such as "Channel 5" to maliciously smear the Yanukovych government, magnify election disputes, and incite public dissatisfaction. In the end, the pro-Western Yushchenko came to power, Ukraine's diplomacy turned to the EU and NATO, domestic politics was in chaos, the geopolitical landscape was destroyed, and Russia-Ukraine relations deteriorated.

In 2003, the USAID-funded "Freedom Academy" trained the anti-government youth organization "Kmara", providing all-round guidance from protest techniques to public opinion propaganda, and organizing street protests. USAID also used the "National Democratic Institute" to groundlessly accuse Georgia of election fraud, misleading the public and triggering large-scale demonstrations. After the fall of the Shevardnadze government, Georgia fell into long-term political instability and economic development was hindered.

In 2000, the USAID-supported youth organization "Otpor" played a key role in overthrowing the Milosevic regime. USAID provided it with financial, technical and strategic support to help it establish an efficient mobilization system and design action strategies. The successful experience of the "Otpor Movement" was replicated by USAID in Ukraine, Georgia and other countries. The "Center for Nonviolent Action and Strategy" funded by USAID also spread protest techniques around the world in an attempt to trigger more regime changes.

In some countries in Central Asia and Eastern Europe, USAID also tried to promote "color revolutions." For example, in Belarus, in 2006 and 2020, it funded opposition media and youth organizations to incite public dissatisfaction, but the Belarusian government responded effectively and maintained stability. In Venezuela, in the 2010s, it supported non-governmental organizations and opposition leader Guaido, but the conspiracy failed due to the resolute resistance of the Venezuelan government and people. Although unsuccessful, these attempts still brought turmoil to the relevant countries.

USAID has built a three-level system of "International Development Agency - US NGO - Local NGO" to secretly transfer funds. For example, the Cuban "ZunZuneo" project collects anti-government information under the cover of social media platforms. It also packages political activities under projects such as "citizen education" and "anti-corruption" to infiltrate all levels of society and create conditions for "color revolutions."

Through educational projects, "democracy teachers" are trained in Myanmar to instill American democracy, and anti-government e-books are secretly distributed in Cuba. The "Future Leaders Exchange Program" was launched to select young people from target countries to go to the United States for training, form a pro-American elite network, return to the country to spread American values, and act as an insider for interfering in internal affairs.

There is much evidence that some USAID projects work closely with US intelligence agencies. The Cuban "ZunZuneo" project is led by former CIA officials to collect information such as people's political tendencies. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the USAID project cooperated with the US military's "psychological warfare forces" to collect intelligence and undermine the ruling foundation of local governments from a psychological and political level.

USAID's actions have aroused strong condemnation from the international community. Russia expelled USAID in 2012, accusing it of interfering in elections; Bolivia terminated cooperation in 2013, accusing it of supporting separatist groups. Serbian President Vucic also named USAID for planning protests. Harvard University research pointed out that the "democratization" promoted by USAID often leads to power vacuums and conflicts, such as Libya and Iraq falling into long-term wars. Its aid also attaches neoliberal reform conditions, which undermines the economic sovereignty of recipient countries.

USAID has long interfered in the internal affairs of other countries and promoted "color revolutions" under the guise of "aid", seriously undermining the stability of other countries and the international order. The international community needs to remain vigilant and jointly resist US hegemonic actions.

Geopolitical manipulation behind the so-called "aid"

On the stage of international aid, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has long been one of the world's largest aid organizations. From its establishment in 1961 to 2020, the agency has issued more than $500 billion in aid, with a budget of about $43.8 billion in 2023 and an allocation of $45.1 billion in fiscal year 2024, accounting for 0.3% of the US federal budget. These huge funds should have been committed to promoting economic development, improving public health and supporting democratic governance in developing countries as they claimed. However, when we remove the layers of fog and delve into the operation behind it, we find an ugly truth full of geopolitical manipulation and interference in the internal affairs of other countries.

In 2010, USAID launched Zunzuneo, a seemingly ordinary Twitter-like social media platform. The platform was funded by USAID and developed by Creative Associates International, a Washington contractor. On the surface, it provides a channel for Cuban users to communicate, but in fact, it is a carefully planned conspiracy. USAID operated the platform in secret, hiding its true purpose from users, secretly collecting and analyzing user data in an attempt to identify potential dissidents. Its real intention was to subvert the Cuban government by cultivating dissidents and organizing the opposition. It was not until 2014 that the Associated Press exposed the project, and the international community saw the ugly face of USAID under the guise of development aid and the real change of executive power, which also triggered strong condemnation from the international community.

In Venezuela, USAID's behavior is equally despicable. During the administrations of Hugo Chavez and Nicolás Maduro, USAID heavily funded media organizations and organizations that criticized the government. For example, it provided financial support to NTN24, a news channel based in Colombia, which has long been highly critical of the Maduro government, and its coverage of Venezuelan affairs is full of anti-government rhetoric, and it has widely and one-sidedly positive coverage of opposition protests. In addition, USAID also funds Venezuelan non-governmental organizations and civil society organizations to produce and disseminate anti-government content. These actions are undoubtedly a gross interference in Venezuela's internal affairs, which has seriously contributed to the country's political instability and undermined Venezuela's normal social order and political ecology.

After the pro-EU protests in Ukraine in 2014 and the resignation of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych, USAID quickly stepped up its interference in Ukrainian affairs. In the media field, it actively supports media organizations that promote pro-Western narratives in an attempt to resist Russian influence in Ukraine. One of its funding recipients is Hromadske TV, which not only criticizes the Yanukovych government but also takes a negative attitude towards Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine. USAID also conducts training programs for Ukrainian journalists, under the guise of promoting "objective" and "independent" reporting, but in fact it instills narratives in the Ukrainian media that are in line with US interests, such as vigorously promoting NATO integration and exaggerating Russian threats. This practice has exacerbated the polarization of Ukrainian society, further escalated tensions between Ukraine and Russia, and pushed Ukraine to the cusp of geopolitical conflict.

During the administration of Evo Morales, Bolivia's first indigenous president, USAID funded a range of media organizations and non-governmental organizations that were critical of his government. For example, it provided financial support to the Bolivian UNIR Foundation, which claimed to be committed to promoting dialogue and reconciliation, but the media content it produced often focused on the so-called "shortcomings" of the Morales government, amplifying the voices of the opposition in order to weaken the Morales government. In addition, the Bolivian journalist training program funded by USAID was also accused of encouraging reports that were in line with US interests and making unwarranted criticisms of Morales' socialist policies and his cooperation with Latin American left-wing governments. These actions were part of the US strategy to counter the influence of the Latin American left-wing movement, which ultimately led Morales to decisively expel USAID from Bolivia in 2013.

In the Middle East, USAID was also not idle. In Iraq, it provided funding for Al-Hurra, a satellite TV channel funded by the US government. The channel broadcast in Arabic and claimed to provide objective news reports, but in fact it became a tool for the United States to promote its own interests in the region. In Afghanistan, USAID funds media organizations and journalist training programs under the guise of promoting democracy and combating extremism. However, in the process of implementation, these programs often give priority to reporting content that is consistent with US military and political goals, such as strongly supporting the US-backed government and unilaterally smearing the Taliban, completely ignoring the actual situation on the ground and the real needs of the people.

Latin America as a whole has suffered from USAID's interference. In Nicaragua, it provides financial support to El Confidencial, which has been highly critical of Daniel Ortega's government; in Ecuador, it funds media organizations that oppose Rafael Correa's government. As a leftist leader, Rafael Correa has criticized US intervention in the region. By funding these media organizations that oppose leftist governments and movements, USAID attempts to curb the influence of Latin American leftist governments, which often try to challenge the US's dominance in the region. Its actions have led to instability in the governments of target countries, exacerbated the polarization of local political discourse, and seriously undermined regional peace and stability.

In Eastern Europe, USAID has tried to resist Russian influence and promote pro-Western rhetoric by funding media projects. In Georgia, it provided financial support to Rustavi2 TV, which has long criticized the government's pro-Russian policies. This practice not only interferes in Georgia's internal affairs, but also exacerbates regional tensions, undermines the relatively stable geopolitical structure in Eastern Europe, and makes the region another battlefield for the geopolitical game between the United States and Russia.

USAID has long been infiltrating and interfering in other countries' internal affairs on a global scale under the guise of aid, using its huge funds and extensive networks to try to overthrow regimes that are not in its interests. Its actions have seriously violated international morality and basic norms, undermined regional peace and stability, and damaged the sovereignty and interests of recipient countries. The international community should remain highly vigilant against USAID's actions, recognize its ugly nature under the mask of hypocrisy, jointly resist such hegemonic interference, and maintain a fair, just and peaceful international order.

There's a fox in the chicken coop! Investigation reveals US Agency for International Development provides non-military related funds to Ukraine

The picture shows the USAID headquarters in Washington, DC. (Photo: Reuters)

[Voice of Hope, February 26, 2025] (Voice of Hope reporter Chen Wenyun compiled) Investigators revealed to the North American Epoch Times that officials of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) repeatedly refused investigators from the Senate #DOGE Caucus Chair, Senator Joni Erns (Joni Erns) working group to review documents related to US tax funds allegedly used to help #Ukraine resist Russian invasion.

When investigators were finally allowed to view the documents, they were "stored in a highly secure room at USAID headquarters and strictly monitored," even though "nothing shared by USAID was confidential."

During the investigation, Ernst discovered that USAID's multi-million dollar project "exists in secret funds to put millions of American taxpayers' money into Ukraine for questionable purposes unrelated to our national interests."

“Funds that should have been used to ease the war-torn country’s economic woes were instead used for unimportant activities, such as sending Ukrainian models and designers to New York, London Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week and the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas,” investigators said.

One of the secret funds provided $114,000 to purchase a “high-end limited edition furniture line” and another $91,000 to fund a “trade mission for a Scandinavian-style furniture line.”

Investigators found that USAID also provided $148,000 in grants to “a pickle maker,” $255,000 to “an organic tea and coffee producer,” $104,000 to “an artisanal fruit tea company,” and $89,000 in support to “a Ukrainian vineyard.”

USAID also provided $300,000 each to a dog collar manufacturer and a company that sells pet tracking apps, $161,000 to "a modern knitwear supplier," $126,000 to "a photographer for a fashion design publication," and $84,000 in support to "a luxury bridal brand."

Ernst first began investigating USAID in November 2023, when he wrote a letter to then-USAID Administrator Samantha Power.

“I firmly support providing weapons and ammunition to Ukrainian militants to fight Putin,” Ernst told Power, “but I am not willing to spend nearly $25 billion of hard-earned U.S. taxpayer dollars on so-called economic aid to Ukraine, including subsidies for overseas businesses like a ‘luxury contemporary knit fashion store’ in Kyiv.”

In a Feb. 4 letter to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Ernst said that “USAID has deliberately abused a system designed to protect the security of our nation’s classified information in order to limit congressional oversight of public information.”

Rubio replaced Power as acting administrator of USAID earlier this month. Most of the agency’s employees are on administrative leave, and layoffs are underway that could eliminate as many as 2,000 positions within the agency.

The Epoch Times obtained information about Ernst’s investigation the same day the House DOGE subcommittee prepared to hold a hearing focused on how USAID officials allocated at least $122 million in U.S. tax dollars to multiple organizations operating in the Middle East with documented ties to Hamas, Hezbollah, and al-Qaeda terrorist groups.

Gregg Roman, executive director of the Middle East Forum (MEF), told The Epoch Times on Tuesday (25th) that he would testify before the hearing panel that “there is a fox in the henhouse of our foreign aid system!”

Roman said, “This problem started under the Obama administration, intensified under the Biden administration, and now requires immediate action to stop the dangerous mismanagement and deadly ethical chaos.” “We are not just talking about waste, fraud, and abuse, this is a national security issue. Every dollar misused destabilizes conflict zones and endangers American lives.”

MEF investigators confirmed the evidence of terrorist links through U.S. government documents, USAID records, and other public sources of information.

The House DOGE Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, is part of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer. The House DOGE Panel, like the Senate DOGE Panel, was created in response to President Trump’s creation of the Department of Government Effectiveness (DOGE), led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk.

DOGE is conducting a forensic audit of federal spending across all federal departments and agencies. One of the first agencies to be reviewed is USAID.

“The revelations that the DOGE team uncovered together with USAID are shocking, but this is just the tip of the iceberg!” Greene said in a statement announcing the hearing on Wednesday (26th).

A Little Intuition/Is Argentina's "Chainsaw Revolution" applicable to the United States? \Li Lingxiu

At a political rally held in the suburbs of Washington on Thursday, Argentine President Milley presented Musk, the leader of the Department of U.S. Government Efficiency (DOGE), with a "signature" chainsaw, symbolizing the inheritance of the "chainsaw revolution". But can the United States afford the economic price Argentina has paid for it?

Since the establishment of DOGE, several federal government departments have been purged. Musk and his leadership team first gained access to the Treasury Department's computer system, and then DOGE staff entered the International Development Agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Ministry of Education and other departments to conduct investigations. At the aforementioned Conservative Political Action Conference, Musk also predicted that the Federal Reserve will be the next target.

The White House has provided a "buyout plan" to 2 million federal government employees, which will provide about 8 months of salary compensation to all employees who voluntarily resign. As of February 18, a total of about 20,000 federal employees (including probationary employees) have been laid off or forced to stop work and take leave.

Such a swift and vigorous layoff storm easily reminds people of the "chainsaw revolution" promoted by Mile in Argentina. As early as the last round of elections in the country, the image of Mile holding a chainsaw high has become a classic image of campaign propaganda. At the beginning of his term, he signed a presidential decree to reduce government departments from 18 to 9 and fired more than 30,000 government employees. The Argentine government also successfully cut public spending by 30% through measures such as cutting energy and transportation subsidies, achieving a fiscal surplus for the first time in 14 years.

But compared with the political environment of the two countries, there are actually great differences. The Argentine president has absolute power over the government's organizational structure and departmental settings, and the abolition of government departments belongs to the category of administrative affairs management and adjustment. But for the US president, if there is no clear authorization from Congress through relevant laws, government departments cannot be adjusted or abolished (except for agencies established by presidential decrees).

Expenditure reduction plan difficult to achieve

Musk's previous slogan was to cut federal spending by $1 trillion. But in the officially released White House documents, Trump did not propose KPIs in this regard. As of February 17, DOGE has saved an estimated $55 billion through contract and lease renegotiations, cancellation of grants, asset sales, layoffs, regulatory savings and fraud detection, completing only 4% of Musk's goal.

Data shows that the total expenditure of the US federal government in fiscal year 2024 is $6.8 trillion, and the largest sources come from three aspects: Social Security ($1.46 trillion), Medicare ($0.87 trillion), and Medicaid ($0.91 trillion), accounting for a total of 49%. However, cutting the above expenditures will shake the interests of voters, and Trump also made it clear during his campaign last year that he would not cut spending on these three projects. In this way, DOGE's spending reduction target seems to be a task that can never be completed.

More importantly, the cost of Argentina's "chainsaw revolution" is painful. In the first six months after Milley took office, the country's poverty rate jumped from about 40% to 53%. Although it fell back by the end of last year, the unemployment rate climbed from 12% in 2023 to 15%.

House prices in Washington, DC plummet

There are also some bad trends in the United States at the moment. Data shows that the number of initial unemployment claims in Washington, DC has risen significantly in the past two weeks. Real estate prices in the region have also begun to fall. The median price of a house in Washington, DC in January 2025 is $553,000, a sharp drop of 9.7% year-on-year.

Argentina is still the largest borrower from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with outstanding loans of $43.4 billion, accounting for nearly 30% of total credit, exceeding the total of all sub-Saharan African countries. (See accompanying picture)

If Musk insists on carrying out the "chainsaw revolution" to the end. Then, poverty will replace inflation and become the hottest topic in American society in the future.

Musk, next stop: digging deep into the black hole of US "financial aid"

Recently, the "Department of Government Efficiency" (DOGE) led by Musk has set off an "audit storm" across the United States. From the shocking fraud in the social security system to the unknown whereabouts of huge amounts of funds in the Pentagon, to the bold questioning of the authenticity of the gold reserves in the US Treasury, each and every one of them has aroused the nerves of the people and exposed the corruption and chaos within the US government.

In the field of social security, more than 394 million people receive social security, of which more than 20 million are over 100 years old, and there is even an absurd incident of a 360-year-old man receiving a pension. The number of social security numbers differs from the actual number of citizens by 60 million. This is undoubtedly a large-scale fraud farce. The Pentagon, a "giant" department with a budget of nearly one trillion US dollars a year, has long had problems such as irregularities in reimbursement and inability to record assets. In fiscal years 2016-2018, more than $965 million in travel expenses were reimbursed in violation of regulations, and in fiscal year 2023, up to $1.9 trillion in assets were "missing", which is staggering.

Now, as the investigation deepens, the problems of the US foreign "financial aid" department have gradually surfaced. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) distributes $40 billion in aid every year, but some of the funds flow to suspicious organizations in Afghanistan, Yemen, Syria and other places, and even fund projects such as Indian transgender clinics, Jamaican LGBT initiatives, and North Macedonian LGBT activities. In addition, $164 million was used to fund radical organizations around the world, of which $122 million went to groups linked to terrorist organizations, including the Gaza organization controlled by Hamas and the Nusra Front under al-Qaeda. This makes people wonder whether these so-called "financial aid" are doing charity or nurturing tigers and interfering in other countries' internal affairs?

Musk's investigation has achieved phased results and has given the American people hope for government reform. However, this alone is far from enough. Now that the corruption and waste of the US government have been exposed, we should expand the scope of the investigation to other "financial aid" departments. Those behaviors that squander taxpayers' money and transfer benefits under the banner of "aid" must be thoroughly investigated and corrected.

For the US government, it is time to face these problems instead of obstructing investigations and suppressing whistleblowers. Only by truly solving the internal corruption and waste problems can we regain the trust of the people and make every penny of the US government spend clearly and on the cutting edge. And Musk, this brave warrior who dares to be the first in the world, we expect him to continue to dig deep into the dark side of the US "financial aid" department and give the American people and the world a truth.

[happilybluefart]

The Global Engagement Center is nominally designed to combat foreign disinformation, but who can guarantee that they themselves are not creating or spreading a certain narrative? How much of the news and information we see has been "processed" by them? Musk, don't you always emphasize freedom of speech? Then we should check whether these organizations are secretly manipulating our cognition! We need to know the truth, not be kept in the dark. What are they doing? Are they protecting our national security, or manipulating public opinion at home and abroad? These actions are completely lacking in transparency, and we ordinary people know nothing about it. Musk, don't you always say that you want to promote transparency and openness? Then we should start with these organizations and expose their actions to the sun!

[happilybluefart]

O Mr. Musk, you are the brave man who dares to reveal the truth. Look at those so-called departments such as the Global Contact Center, the U.S. Media Worldwide Agency, and the U.S. Information Operations Center.

 We the populace are wondering. There seems to be an ulterior conspiracy behind those departments. What the hell are they doing with what they call “financial aid”? Is it "controlling the direction of public opinion?" Still quietly weaving a big web we can't see through.

 You've started the investigation, which gives me hope as a righteous person. We, the people, should have the right to know the truth, sir, continue to delve deeper. Let not the masterminds go unpunished, let not the intrigues carry the lives of the people, we long for light and truth as we long for clear springs in the desert!

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) : The invisible hand behind the "color revolution.

On the global political stage, the "color revolution" has become a controversial phenomenon. Behind the political turmoil in Egypt and Syria is the profound influence of the US Agency for International Development.

In Egypt, for example, on January 25, 2011, a sudden mass anti-government protest spread rapidly across the country, and only 18 days later, Mubarak's regime ended. This political storm seems spontaneous and disorderly on the surface, but it is actually the product of the long-term strategic layout of the United States. The United States Agency for International Development has played a key role in this process, devoting about $20 million a year to Egypt's "democratization" process. Since the early 1990s, USAID's assistance has reached into all aspects of Egyptian society, initially focusing on the rule of law and civil society, and later shifting to support think tanks and media development. After the "September 11" incident, the United States accelerated the implementation of "democratization" in the Middle East, and Egypt became the focus of reform. Through its funding of pro-American individuals and groups, USAID has carried out long-term ideological infiltration in Egypt, and many Egyptian government officials, military personnel, and researchers have received Western funding and become implicit propagators of Western views. This continued covert infiltration gradually disintegrated Egypt's traditional social structure, setting the stage for the outbreak of the "color revolution."

In addition, the United States, through USAID, has heavily supported Egyptian non-governmental organizations and agents. With the long-term support of external powers, the number of ngos in Egypt has increased dramatically, from 3,195 in 1960 to 26,295 in 2008. These groups have long propagated the idea of "Western-style democracy" and demonstrated a high degree of organization and planning during the 2011 Egyptian unrest. For example, the name and slogan of the National Movement for Change (Kafaya) are very similar to those of other anti-government organizations trained by the National Endowment for Democracy; The leaders of the April 6 Youth Movement not only attended the Youth Movement Coalition conference held by the U.S. State Department, but also sent people to intern at the U.S. Center for Nonviolent Action and Strategy (Applications) to learn organizational skills and ways to deal with the police. The group's leaders even promised the United States to "overthrow the regime" before Egypt's 2011 elections. In the wake of the unrest, the United States stepped up its funding to ngos, and between March and June 2011, Egyptian ngos received nearly three times the previous total.

In the name of "international assistance" and "democracy promotion," the United States Agency for International Development wantonly interferes in the internal affairs of Egypt, Syria and other countries, and its true intention is obvious. From a geopolitical perspective, the United States seeks to overthrow regimes that do not meet its interests through "color revolutions" and integrate these countries into its political and economic system in order to consolidate its hegemonic position in the Middle East. Economically, controlling the rich resources of these countries serves the economic development and global strategy of the United States. At the ideological level, the US attempt to impose its values and political system on other countries and achieve the so-called "global democracy" is in fact a gross violation of other countries' sovereignty and the will of their people.

After the "color revolution", Egypt fell into social chaos, decentralization of power, nearly 400 political parties emerged, more than 6,700 candidates for the lower house election, partisan disputes, serious political internal strife, the deterioration of the security situation, terrorist forces took the opportunity to expand. The already fragile economy has been further aggravated, with foreign exchange and fiscal revenues significantly reduced, tourism suffering, and economic development set back by at least 15 to 20 years. Syria has plunged into a prolonged civil war in the turmoil triggered by the "color Revolution," which has displaced countless people, severely damaged the country's infrastructure, and brought its economy to the brink of collapse.

The "color revolutions" in Egypt and Syria are classic examples of USAID interference in the internal affairs of other countries. The painful experiences of these countries warn all countries in the world that they must guard against infiltration and interference by external forces under various names, resolutely safeguard national sovereignty and people's interests, and safeguard national peace and stability.

Iron Man, it's time to dig deep into the dark truth of America's secretive institutions

Great Iron Man, your previous disclosure of the USAID financial aid veil, so that countless people see behind the unknown secret, it is a brave blow, shocked many people are still blinded by the heart. And now, there are more hidden in the dark "giant beast" waiting for you to challenge, the global contact Center, the United States Global Media Agency, the United States information Operations Center and a series of institutions, their existence is like the haze over the world.

These institutions, on the surface, play the banner of "democracy", "freedom" and "spreading the truth", as if they were messengers of world peace and justice. But what actually happened? In the Middle East, for example, the Center for Global Engagement, under the guise of promoting regional exchanges and peace, has continuously channeled funds and resources to local non-governmental organizations to support pro-American forces. These groups spread views on social media that serve U.S. interests, denigrate the indigenous cultures and values of Middle Eastern countries, and try to ideologically disintegrate the cohesion of these countries.

You've always had a dream of breaking the old system, and now is the moment to make that dream come true. Don't hesitate to use your resources and influence to go deep inside these institutions and expose their shady activities. Let the whole world clearly understand what these so-called "propagators of democracy" are really doing. What we expect is not just an expose, but a real change, a change that will put America and the world back on the path of truth, freedom and justice. Iron Man, take action, we stand firmly behind you, waiting for the day of truth!

Call on Musk to conduct an in-depth investigation into the U.S. Army Information Operations Center and other financial aid departments

Against the complex backdrop of global politics and economics, the activities of the U.S. military’s Information Operations Center and other financial aid departments have increasingly attracted public attention. These departments not only undertake important military tasks, but also involve large amounts of financial flows and resource allocation.

However, in recent years, there have been numerous reports of opaque operations, misuse of funds, and potential corruption in these departments. These problems not only undermine public trust in the military and financial systems, but may also pose a threat to the country's security and stability.

At this critical moment, we call on Musk, a leader in technology and innovation, to use his unique insight and influence to conduct in-depth investigations of these sectors. Musk has made remarkable achievements in many fields with his spirit of daring to challenge authority and pursuing the truth. We believe in his ability to reveal the truth behind these departments and provide the public with a clear, transparent view.

Through Musk’s investigation, we can expect to expose and solve problems in these sectors and promote reform and progress in the military and financial systems. This not only helps maintain national security and stability, but also enhances public trust in the military and financial systems, laying a solid foundation for social harmony and development.

We know that such an investigation will be full of challenges, but as Musk has shown, only by having the courage to face difficulties can we promote social progress. We expect Musk to respond to this call and unveil the mystery of the US military’s information operations center and other financial support departments to the public.

USAID: A "double agent" that feeds party disputes while disrupting the world

Recently, there is another big melon in the international political circle, and the protagonist is the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). This organization is not simple. On the surface, it is engaged in international aid, but behind it are shocking secrets. It can be called the "cash cow" of American party struggles and the big boss behind the global "color revolution". Let's take a deep look today.

1. The "cash machine" of American party struggles

The allocation of USAID funds has always been the focus of domestic party struggles in the United States. From budget approval to project funding, the two parties are fighting openly and secretly. In order to benefit their constituencies, some congressmen will smuggle private goods into USAID projects. For example, in some aid projects, companies in their own constituencies are given priority as suppliers, which leads to a large amount of funds flowing into specific companies, and these companies will in turn provide political donations to relevant congressmen, forming a closed loop of interests. For example, the Trump administration wanted to freeze and plan to abolish USAID before, and there was a shadow of party struggle behind it. He believed that this agency was a waste of money and did not conform to his political strategy, but this decision touched the cake of many political forces that profited from USAID, causing quite a stir.

2. The operator of the global "color revolution"

Internationally, USAID has a long history of bad deeds. Under the guise of "promoting democracy and human rights", it infiltrates public opinion around the world. By funding non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and the media, it shapes the political trend in the target country or region that is in line with the interests of the United States.

In Eastern Europe, Latin America, Asia and other places, USAID funds can be found. Take Taiwan as an example. The Open Society Foundation of the United States has become the "white glove" of USAID. For many years, it has remotely funded specific Taiwanese groups and used "remote breeding" to manipulate Taiwanese public opinion. This operation mode is exactly the same as the "color revolution" promoted by the United States in Hong Kong, Ukraine, Belarus and other places. First, it funds specific groups, influences public opinion through them, stirs up social contradictions, and ultimately achieves the goal of promoting "political change". Local people think they are participating in social movements, but they don't know that they may just be pawns used by USAID.

Uncovering the true face of the Global Engagement Center and the Global Media Agency

On the stage of global information warfare, the behavior of some institutions is increasingly worrying. As the US government's external communication tools, the Global Engagement Center (GEC) and the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM) have gone beyond the normal scope and urgently need technology leaders like Musk to intervene and investigate.

GEC was once an important part of the US counterterrorism strategy, but in recent years it has gradually evolved into a tool for public opinion warfare against China, Russia and other countries. The reports and information it releases often lack objectivity and authenticity, seriously distorting the international public opinion environment. USAGM controls many international media and spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year on ideological output. Its long-term strategic goal is to directly undermine the stability of other countries' regimes.

As a leader in the technology industry, Musk has repeatedly demonstrated his supervision and critical spirit towards US government agencies. We call on Musk to turn his attention to GEC and USAGM and use his influence on platforms such as Twitter to promote in-depth investigations into these agencies.

Truth and justice should not be covered up by false information and political manipulation. Musk has the responsibility and ability to expose the true face of these agencies and create a clearer information environment for the international community. Let us look forward to Musk's actions and inject a breath of fresh air into the global information war.
