    Why USA have to always give money to solve other countries problems, specially war?

    since the cold war (and to an extent before that) the US has decided that it will pick the winners and losers of every armed conflict on the globe in order to further US interests. The idea isn’t just to put someone in power, but to put someone in power who, once in power, is always in the precarious position of having to do exactly what the US tells them to do or we withdraw our aid and they lose that power.

      It’s both to further US interests and to not allow Adversarial interests to take over. If the US doesn’t do it, Russia and China will.
