It's a good question but odd for a survey. The US public conflates aid intended to help people with aid to advance foreign policy goals
-
The two should be judged by different yardsticks. A third rare type aims to do both, such as by conditioning aid on political freedom
-
I always thought foreign aid was used to buy policy compliance by those siphoning off funds from the aid.
-
Sometimes, especially during the Cold War, or to win hearts and minds. Some other countries only use aid to help reduce poverty, eg, Ireland
-
I guess I'm just more cynical about political power and aims.
-
Seems (even during CW) - give aid to neut. country(NC). Those in power n NC keep some & disperse rest 2 keep others happy (consolidate). 1/2
-
USSR cannot match largesse - ensures NC will happily follow you and convince their public you're the good guy. All win! 2/2

That's not aid! It's control and domination. Every developed country dreams that poor countries accept their so called 'Aids'. What for?
