Are other countries donating to USA for Katrina - GoFuckYourself.com

Bird · 08-30-2005, 05:40 PM

The United States send money all over the world in times of aid.

Are there any countrys donating to the USA.

Patrick_Bateman · 08-30-2005, 05:40 PM

good question

Spunky · 08-30-2005, 05:42 PM

Canada always tries to help out the best we can.Some of the Canadian haters seem to forget about that

pornguy · 08-30-2005, 05:43 PM

Be real. They will all sit back,, and say that we deserve it, and they dont need to send money, as everyone in the states has a ton, and the streets are paved in gold.

Steen2 · 08-30-2005, 05:44 PM

You think Cambodia's going to announce a $20M relief fund?

BusterBunny · 08-30-2005, 05:45 PM

prolly not but if we prop up with so many countries with donations how can we expect them to give the money they dont have to us. we have money to donate to them and that is all the money they have. Thus the money can not be given back or they die of starvation. we have the money and resources to take care of all the probs ourself.

Very good question, and I'd really like to know the answer. I know at least we'll get foreign aid in the form of personnel and supplies, but actual cash I'm not so sure.

Totally agree with Pornguy though 100%.

Most countries will have offered assistance. Its what happens when this sort of thing happens - a diplomatic norm. Standard political manovering.

The US will do what Thailand did after the wave - say thanks but no thanks.

tony286 · 08-30-2005, 05:50 PM

We are supposed to be the richest country in the world why do we need handouts?

LittleMack · 08-30-2005, 05:50 PM

Canada will help I am sure and some other countries, but alot take take take and won't try to offer back assistance.

aztecvision · 08-30-2005, 05:53 PM

Maybe we can donate to our selves for a change.

u-Bob · 08-30-2005, 05:58 PM

Belgian rescue and victim identification teams are already in the US. No doubt other countries already sent and are sending personel.

Definitly ... if I'm right, our gov sent more then the US gov for the tsunami ... at least that's what I heard on radio once . Maybe the US sent more after.

I am sure there will be private donations. I know I went to the redcross site after the BBC mentioned the fund and gave a few bucks. I am sure I won't be the only one.

Michael O · 08-30-2005, 06:07 PM

Why should other countries donate money?
Its not like you need it like Thailand and Indonesia did when the tsunami hit.
Isn't it better to save the money and give it to places that really need it?

xxxdesign-net · 08-30-2005, 06:09 PM

Haha.. the US is the richest nation.. the government can pay...

You help the poors not the rich..

Lance69 · 08-30-2005, 06:11 PM

All political anamosity aside I don't think many Countries would hesitate to assist the US. Do they need it, probably not, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be offered. And I'm sure any other assistance such as reconstruction assistance and the like is already under way.
If people need help, give it.

Right on the spot. The rich always manage it's the poor countries you need to
look out for and help.

yys · 08-30-2005, 06:26 PM

Assistance will be offered and most of it will be turned down.

I know that the Canadian Red Cross are sending teams down. There will also be a lot of hydro crews from Canada that will go down to help get the power back on; it's just what good neighbours do.

cambaby · 08-30-2005, 07:29 PM

None of these fucking loser ass countries(and I mean almost ecery single one of you non-USA fuckers) will donate shit to the USA. I am sending all my non US traffic to *******.

Slick · 08-30-2005, 08:48 PM

It's kinda funny how Bush gets approvals for $50 billion dollars to send to Iraq after sending a couple 100 billion dollars over there, but in a case like this where there could be a little $20 billion in damages (compared to the money we send to Iraq), I bet that the government isn't gonna open up their wallets that much.

Tanker · 08-30-2005, 09:03 PM

I wondered if any countries have offered help You always hear on the news who offered what to countries when a disaster happens and there hasnt been one mention on any of the news I have seen.

I dont think its a money issue as much as it is getting skilled search and rescue teams in there to help out.

We could use skilled search dogs, and skilled rescue teams. the people that are from the area that are skilled in those areas are homeless and have nothing now they are gonna need just as much support as anyone else

Your so uninformed ... The only reason you never hear of it is because the American media doesn't even report shit like that unless it's centered directly on America. It's funny but living in the US, I get better news on North America from the friggin BBC. And I'm willing to bet there have been dozens of offers for skilled assistance to that area.

bhutocracy · 08-30-2005, 10:21 PM

200,000 dead over a half dozen poor ass countries vs 55... it's a bit ignorant to be comparing the two. Plus a lot of the aid we give countries isn't just free money.. it's loans and and cash with strings attached. For instance Australia "gave" a billion dollar in the tsunami which i think was the highest amount out of any country (and rightly so given we're the closest rich western nation to the impact - taking care of your own backyard and all) but up to half of that was a LOAN. You really need to read up on aid as an economic weapon... often it's given on the condition that utilities etc are privatised or opened to investment by American companies.. it's like getting $50 to let someone in your house to repair it because it's urgent, and while they're there you're giving them access to the family silver as well. All countries do it. It's not as crazy generous as most people think. But there is of course a percentage of real aid aimed at keeping everything stable.

reynold · 08-31-2005, 01:24 AM

Other Countries should send some help, not because the US demands it but to show concern because US has been helpful to others in time of such disaster as well.

I don't think they were talking about deaths, but more in terms of destruction. The tsunami in Thailand cost the country around $4 billion in damages. Throwing out ballpark figures, insurance companies are already putting the figure at $25 billion in damage in New Orleans alone.

stevo · 08-31-2005, 02:48 AM

Even though American relations with Chavez haven't been great, he seems to be offering alot of help...

CARACAS (AFP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez offered to send food and fuel to the United States after the powerful Hurricane Katrina pummeled the US south, ravaging US crude production.

The leftist leader, a frequent critic of the United States and a target himself of US disapproval, said Venezuela could send aid workers with drinking water, food and fuel to US communities hit by the hurricane.

"We place at the disposition of the people of the United States in the event of shortages -- we have drinking water, food, we can provide fuel," Chavez told reporters.

Chavez said fuel could be sent to the United States via a Citgo refinery that has not been affected by the hurricane. Citgo is owned by Venezuela's state-owned oil company, Petroleos de Venezuela (PDVSA).

In the Gulf of Mexico, which accounts for a quarter of total US oil output, 92 percent of crude and 83 percent of natural gas production were shut down due to Hurricane Katrina, which slammed Louisiana and Mississippi, according to US government data.

Venezuela is the fourth-largest provider of oil to the United States, supplying some 1.5 million barrels a day.

Last week, Chavez offered discount gasoline to poor Americans suffering from high oil prices and on Sunday offered free eye surgery for Americans without access to health care.

Sarah_Jayne · 08-31-2005, 04:59 AM

last night the radio station I listen to on the BBC had one of the top red cross guys in the NO area on and he said that they are getting offers of help (ie people coming and helping) from all over but that for now they are using local and then national resources.

When there are earthquakes or things like 911 I know there are always people from the UK that are trained rescue people flying out to help and I am sure we are not the only country.

Even if the US was broke, the admin would never accept help from others too arrogant for that...its the american way i guess...

plus if they have +300 billion to start shitstorms in other countrys they surely don't need any help to save NO

exactly...right on the money...

Also comparing this to the Tsunami is stupid to say the least..

in financial assistance because my country is one of the poor country but I
believe what we can give is prayers especially for the victims.
