2) The USA has a dire record in offering development and humanitarian aid to
developing countries [~1.25 dollars per U.S. citizen in '97].

B as in B, S as in S.  The US government gives more in raw dollars than anyone
(hardly "dire"), and that doesn't even count *private* giving...

More data:
Country  Foreign Aid % GDP
Japan  0.28
France  0.55
Germany  0.31
USA  0.10
Netherlands 0.81
UK  0.28
Canada  0.38

These figures hide the fact that Isreal gets most of the aid from the USA.
