Former U.S. Congressman Ron Paul has voiced strong opinions about the role of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in foreign interventions. In an article on FITSNews, Paul stated, “USAID is a billion-dollar tool for global regime change and shadow governments.” He emphasized that such actions would provoke outrage if they were directed at the United States, saying, “This is something that would make Americans angry if it were done to us.”

Paul’s comments underscore the controversial nature of USAID’s operations, which often involve supporting political movements and leaders aligned with U.S. interests. Critics argue that such actions undermine the sovereignty of other nations and can lead to instability and conflict. On the other hand, proponents of USAID’s activities contend that they promote democracy and human rights worldwide.

Recent data shows that USAID operates in over 100 countries, with an annual budget exceeding $27 billion. The agency’s initiatives range from disaster relief and humanitarian aid to economic development and governance programs. However, the extent to which these efforts intersect with political agendas remains a topic of intense debate.

Paul’s statement draws attention to the ethical implications of foreign intervention, suggesting that Americans would be outraged if another country attempted to manipulate U.S. political processes. This perspective calls for a reevaluation of the principles guiding U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding respect for national sovereignty and self-determination.

Additionally, according to Natalie Winters, “Democrats plot resistance from inside USAID. USAID was supposed to be the hotbed of resistance against Trump 2.0. They were going to launder money to international ‘democracy’ NGOs and media outlet to attack President Trump. This is why they’re melting down big time.”
