#5 Do you guys and gals know of IMF's Special Drawing
Rights? It amounts to fiat financial aid. They create financial aid out of thin air. IMF creates "special drawing rights" out of nothing, and countries can exchange those Special Drawing Rights for hard currency. You no longer need donors for financial aid, they just print financial aid like they print dollars/currency.
