For what it’s worth, military aid of this sort doesn’t involve any money leaving the US. This is the government paying companies to send war materials to Ukraine, or sending and writing off our own old military equipment. You can take issue with the money going to the military industrial complex, but it’s not going overseas at the expense of our own citizens.

Also, funding Ukraine’s defense is vastly immensely cheaper than fighting any conflicts of our own, and has similar geopolitical outcomes.

Thank you, this has been helpful.
