We have not been brought into a hideous global war since we became serious about providing foreign aid.
Although we are the #1 providers of foreign aid in gross tonnage, that is also because America's economy AND its population is huge. In relative terms, we have nothing to boast about.
The last time I had a similar argument, was before the pandemic. At that time, the US officially gave a bitpver 0.3% - yes, zero point three percent - of GDP to foreign aid. Norway gave more than 3x as much as a proportion of their GDP per person. [/BTW, Norway is darn rich.]
Other countries which gave more official foreign aid on a percentage basis of their GDP, include: Japan, Australia, NZ, Denmark, UK, Ireland, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Canada, Netherlands, Belgium, France, Spain. Portugal. Italy, Switzerland, Austria...are you getting the picture yet?
