Question

Why might United estates send military aid to countries that are controlled by military dictators

Answer 1

Answer:

B) to achieve a greater purpose, such as stopping a larger enemy

Answer 2

The United States often makes aid decisions, both military and humanitarian, using the prism of our "strategic advantage."

So, if it would be advantageous to please a military dictator, either because of port access or drilling rights or the use of a base for refueling, it is likely that the aid will be used as an inducement to allow the United States to do those things.
