They’re both evil - evil people can do good things, but doing those good things doesn’t negate the evil things.

Or should we maybe be glad that the US is doing something not awful, while not accepting it as justification to dismiss the evil it also does?

Donald Trump’s freezing of US foreign aid has set off alarms across the foreign policy establishment — largely because aid has been such an effective means of furthering US and European geopolitical interests, especially in Latin America.
