Airdropped bombs and rice

Both funded by the same team:

Murder with bandaids

***

Authors note: the whole machine is heart breaking. The US spent billions enabling a brutal and criminal military campaign that has killed non combatants and children in shockingly huge proportions. (A lot of this evil is driven blind by profit: kick backs to US based weapons industries, etc)

And they’ve spent insincere millions throwing food and trauma supplies at a shattered, bleeding infrastructure.

There’d be lower coasts associated with necessary aid if there wasn't so much gleeful enthusiasm for helping our own rich fuckers get richer… by giving terrorists money for more weapons (made by us).
