I don't understand what you are trying to say.

> USAID systematically and internationally managed the flow of advertising dollars to major platforms via soft power

USAID money went to advertising? For whom? Or, are you saying USAID paid companies to advertise via certain channels? "Via soft power?" [0]

Am I just being thick? Can anyone explain to me what this means?
