If you say something with no conditions then it is reasonable for people to assume that it is unconditional. "The USA would help" is taken to mean just that. However "The USA would help, if it was required" is entirely different.
You use this "CaptainObviously" thing as if it was some sort of mystic incantation. Things may be obvious to you because they are in your head, that does not mean they are obvious to other people.
Any misunderstanding was entirely your fault.
