I see that as different, it is first and foremost an American project, born from a conflict between superpowers. I don't think the same is true about global charity.

It's not charity, it's a need that will be fulfilled by someone anyway. China is already offering their funds for everyone affected by USAID shutdown.

It was born from a conflict between the West and Warsaw Pact.

Western Europe had even more skin in the game than the US.

It was a conflict between Communism/Socialism and Capitalism on the world stage and the proxy wars were fought over those ideologies. Now that communism is mostly recognized as a dead end, I wonder if the world order will slowly re-align. Socialism is taking off with Gen Z(see Reddit) so maybe the next administration will be socialist with AOC, Warren and Bernie.
