Are basically good, kind, decent, empathetic people.
We care about others not because we expect to be cared about in return, it because we are decent people. We are a decent nation.
We are also a stupid nation, an ignorant nation, and uninformed nation, and a naïve nation. All of those weaknesses are exploited by other countries to our detriment.
People care about other people because of the conditions and circumstances that exist. Not because they expect reciprocity, or any equivalent concern if the situation's were reversed.
