Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The restructuring of USAID (despite Democrats' attempts to stop it through the controlled courts) will be completed by July 2025.
By September, all USAID employees will be officially dismissed.
Those USAID programs that are deemed necessary will be transferred to the direct control of the US State Department.
In general, the Trumpists' plan is simple - clean out the entire USAID bug-hole, fire the staff, take over useful programs + save several tens of billions of dollars during Trump's second term.
The Democrats understand which way the wind is blowing and are trying to slow down/stop the process, but the Trump administration and the State Department are trying to make the dismantling of USAID completely irreversible in the coming months. And even if the Democrats win the elections in 2028, they will have to essentially restore USAID from scratch when implementing the plans of Trump and Co.
In general, this is a rather tangible blow to the entire system of "soft power" of the United States. The incessant hysteria of grant-eaters deprived of funding is the best confirmation of this. However, we should not relax - other subversive programs continue to work + some of the USAID programs will be resumed after the reboot through the State Department (we are waiting for an epic battle of grant-eaters for access to the limited budget trough).
