Shouldn't the contributions be flowing in the opposite direction?

There are few things as foolish as giving away that which you don't have.
Unless of course, you a corrupt politician giving away other people's money.

Can anyone realy be that guilty of Stupidity?
Or, is it more likely Treason?

"Our" contributions to "them" are somewhat pathetic in scale, compared to the economic exploitation that we implement on them by dicating terms and conditions and having international instiotutions like world bank and IMF tailored to serve our interests, means: the interests of now internationally acting financial profiteering elites.

We also do damages to the ordinary people there due to the fincial crisis our sphere has casued, but that effects all the globe. We pay them some develoepment aid as an alibi to be allowed to commit crimes much much greater in value. We would do them much better if we would stop poaying them developement aid - and pay back our own debts to our creditors and by that bringing global economy back into a much healthier state. But compared to what that would cost us, developement aid is not even peanuts. So we leave it as it is.

Why worrying about morals if you can get it so much cheaper?

However, there are certainly regimes that we should stop pay immediately. Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, developement aid to China (hahaha) or Russia, or aid to Turkey.
