I'm not saying that a threat has to be considered before aid is provided.. I'm saying that pragmatic geo-political realism in current US policy means an African "Marshall Plan" won't happen.
Ideally it should, but in reality it won't.
There's a difference between what we believe is right and what we know will actually happen.
If the US did what was right, then they would slash their military budget and plow billions into ending world hunger. Do you think that's going to happen?
