Are you going to be grateful someone came to your home to give you medicine, if they use it to sneak in someone who will burn down your home?

Surviving; paying attention; ensuring your family's security and hopefully that of your community are all in no way mutually exclusive. Kooky deflective narrative.

You’re not following the thread. Comment above is defending the US practice of sneaking in spies with aid org fronts.

What a terminally online hypothetical. IRL, people are insanely grateful to get free medicine and crushed that it's gone.

There’s a growing number of countries that refuse to allow aid orgs in, due to the continued illegal use of them to smuggle in intelligence officers. Not what I would call “insanely grateful.”
