What makes you think the United States feels it has to help every country? The percentage of the budget allocated to Foreign Aid is far below most other industrialized nations.
Denmark, for example, spends 1% of its budget on Foreign Aid, and the US spends .1%.

Most foreign aid is used to purchase influence and power,
sometimes in the country receiving the aid, sometimes with constituents at home.
Also...it's more comfortable to tsk-tsk over other people's problems than it is to confront one's own failings.

Your question reminds me of some of the questions coming out of Auschwitz in 1944-45......"where are the Americans, the British.....? don't they know what's going on here?...."

It is just a ploy to gain influence, improve power balance and make more money.

Delusions of grandeur. They think they they are the almighty of nations, and don't know their limitations.
