I get your point, but are the Chinese, Russians, etc. also helping?

If they aren't, it's a win for the US in the eyes of the world. (I say that knowing most on this Board do not care a whit about how we are viewed by foreigners).
I recall in the 1950s that the US refused to help Egypt with the construction of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile. The Russians stepped in with a billion dollars, heavy machinery, engineers and technicians and reaped the 'benefits' in the entire Arab world for many decades afterwards.

Been thinking on this....politics often trump reality. The Israelis always send medics to tragedies overseas, like in Turkey now, while the Iranians, Jordanians, etc. never do, and it doesnt matter.

Thousands spent the night in the debris-encrusted streets of Adiyaman with little shelter and huddled around small fires.

After Turkey’s Earthquake Comes the Reckoning. ‘Why Are We Unprepared?’
President Erdogan, who consolidated control over disaster-response institutions, faces rising anger ahead of national elections.

Over 25,000 now

Rescuers toil on in rubble of Turkey and Syria, survivors ever harder to find
The death toll from the earthquake exceeded 25,000 and raised questions over planning and response time. In Syria, little aid had entered even after Damascus said it would allow convoys to cross front lines.

Over 33,000 and likely to rise much higher. Damning article about Erdogan (we already know Assad is a war criminal)

From a Turkish Cane friend:
Everything in this article is true.
He dismantled the Turkish Disaster Relief office and formed a new Islamic relief organization with his supporters, that totally failed to react to this disaster in the first 48 hours.
Hopefully this election coming up will take care of him.
