The point I was illustrating is that USAID is and always was a tool of the CIA.
USAID is absolutely equipped to tell the Israeli military “We’re not going to give you one of our trucks and a landing pad for a blackhawk at our pier”.
How are they equipped to do that? Are you going to stand there in the way of an army with your clipboard?
And I’m sorry but Internet access and social media doesn’t evoke scary secret agent the way you’re trying to use it. At best it’s the furthest extent of soft power, which is USAID’s purpose. At worst it’s an unsanctioned covert program that got shut down and swept under the rug.

Yes, they are equipped to not hand over their resources. They’re also equipped to not lie and cover it up afterwords.
