    Well that’s one of the more fucked up and asinine things I’ve heard in a while.

    You know countries can refuse aide, right? Nobody is forcing them to accept the money. Because, you know, they’re a sovereign nation with the authority to make decisions for themselves. You even said it yourself

    Would our government accept aid from China

    China offering us aid doesn’t “usurpe our authority”. How the heck did you even come up with that nonsense.

    But hey, believe whatever you want. Me, I think we should take responsibility for the harm we’ve done to the world and offer to make amends in some way or another. I don’t think it’s right to take a shit in somebody else’s yard and tell them it’s their problem. But again, that’s me.
