I never said that Brazil or the Philippines or Angola shouldn’t be helped. And I don’t see why helping no countries at all would be better than helping a few (well other than Israel, which is trying really hard to top off the nazis).

None of what you mentioned is related to what I had written. My point was that there is no moral grounds to try to say “we should help us americans instead of those stupid foreigners”. The sad facts that which countries get helped and where the budgets get put are heavily dependant on the personal interest of politicians is not linked to that, it just adds problems on top.
