For some reason, I just feel that if I were to take OP's logic, it would be more beneficial in the long run to help Japan anyway because they hold more weight in the world. After all, neither country is important to you in either way, right? It's just a natural disaster, and shit happens, right? So by your logic, why should we waste resources on a third world country when we can help revive one of the most prominent first world countries?
