The USA gives money to Israel, Pakistan and Egypt (amongst others). Is the USA to be held accountable for their actions?

If China had decided to occupy Guatemala because the president they had supported invited them in I imagine the USA at the very least would be providing some material aid. Given they are to Ukraine.

The USA needs to try seeing things from the perspective of others as opposed to acting in indignation that others view their military overreach is not viewed in a positive light.
