It's not corruption - it's all by design. USAID is the soft-power side of foreign policy. Aid is distributed according to political needs and the desire to influence and produce specific outcomes for certain groups, while maintaining a notion of fairness and generosity and facilitating diplomacy.

Still, objectively speaking, millions will die because the US threw out the baby with the bath water.

But it also looks like they threw the baby out on purpose while intentionally misleadingly marketing themselves as bathwater dumpers.
