I think you missed Jorge's point.
Here is Jorge's post in one sentence
Perhaps it is time for the United States to deny things such as money, scientific, technological, medical expertise, and education to nations who simply will not assist or protect American interests? You were the one who took offense and assumed he was trying to insult other countries that contribute to the UN. He said nothing towards that. You brought up that issue.
Looks like the United States DID provide a LOT of troops for the Gulf War, but you continue to look at dollar amounts. Well, did it ever occur to you that it costs ME and other Americans a lot of money to put those troops in Kuwait. Not you, but ME...
Don't worry. This is my last response.
