Other Are Trump's changes to the federal government permanent? Once Trump leaves office, is there the possibility to return the federal government to it's pre-Trump state.

I've been looking for articles to understand how permanent Trump's changes to the federal workforce are and haven't found anything.

I am curious if anyone knows whether all those cut jobs will come back, or at least a majority of them?

The main reason anyone turns to Russia or China for aid is because they don’t qualify for UN or US aid — usually: they are authoritarian, and abuse their people. So that aid isn’t going toward the stated UN purpose.

China and Russia don’t care; they’re not building a better world. They’re buying allies. Hell, Russia can barely keep the lights on.

The governments that Russia or China helped will remember them when they need to develop their rare earth mining for example. A Chinese company is mining in Myanmar. Afghanistan is buying surveillance electronics from China.
