Ramping it down slowly gives the regime change apparatus time to comfortably transition into whatever its next incarnation is going to be. Trump and Musk, being the egotistical, short-sighted dumbasses that they are, taking a wrecking ball to the whole thing throws this part of the imperialist apparatus off-balance and at least for a time cripples their ability to do damage with this particular tool until they can reorganize themselves. The more sudden and chaotic the changes the better. Dysfunction, chaos and internal conflict within the imperial machine is a net good for the rest of the world.

You have to take a bigger picture view on these things. Even if you want to overlook their role in regime change and narrative control (including financing psyops like NAFO that literally doxx and threaten people's lives), USAID is a vital lynchpin for maintaining US neocolonial domination around the world. It keeps countries dependent on foreign aid, fosters corruption and prevents real, sustainable development.
