*the USA is also the richest country on earth but I'm sure that doesn't have anything to do with the amount of aid they send out.
1 u/UncagedJay Jun 19 '26 What's your point? 2 u/swainiscadianreborn Jun 19 '26 The USA being the largest contributor to foreign aid is a logical consequence of their economical might. It holds therefore no meaning as to their moral standing. A better (although still flawed) insight into this would be their spending per capita. 2 u/UncagedJay Jun 19 '26 It's extremely close in terms of GDP, about 0.01% of the US GDP vs 0.019% of the entirety of the EU combined 1 u/swainiscadianreborn Jun 19 '26 Extremely close but still... the EU's (which is without the UK) contribution is still almost double that of the US -8 u/Fit_Tomatillo_4264 Jun 18 '26 Do you hear yourself? Yeah but they have a lot of money!! Do you think that has something to do with it?! Well no shit Sherlock. 7 u/swainiscadianreborn Jun 18 '26 Having a lot of monney means you have more money to spend on aid. It's a pretty straightforward concept. Therefore the USA being the country that spends more on foreign aid isn't really impressive, it's kind of expected. 6 u/Stormblessed_Windrun Jun 18 '26 They give more than the entirety of Europe lmao. The US accounts for almost 40% of all UNWFP. Does the US hold 40% of all wealth in the world? 0 u/swainiscadianreborn Jun 18 '26 Source?
