Very well: most foreign aid programs have been used to interfere in the affairs of other countries by funding anti-government and in some cases even state movements that later orchestrated color revolutions.

Paul Craig Roberts once reported a significant interview: "Prof. G. Warren Nutter was once asked by a senior Chinese government official: what would he do first if he were President of China? Prof. Nutter replied: the first thing he would do is ban all foreign NGOs."

It works both ways—American NGOs helped end the AIDS crisis in Africa. And one reason Trump/Khalizad believed the Taliban would agree to an interim government with Ghani was because American NGOs were getting food to many people in Afghanistan.

Aid to NGOs might not be necessary with the growth of other forms of spying and leading other nations. The cell phone and social media has gotten real good for those things. Mass leaders can be determined and attacked cheaper, and others can be promoted.

Billionaire America hater, George Soros' NGOs have been a big part of the regime change operations conducted by the CIA globally. The Soros family crime syndicate is the soft power run in tandem with the CIA assassination bureau.

Ceasing military the provision of supplies to proxy wars, closing overseas US military establishments and returning US troops back to US shores would allow sovereign nations to attend to their own problems.
