Supporting Ukraine is the smart play.

Maybe, maybe not. I'm gonna go with only more death and destruction.

Death and destruction in Ukraine and Russia? That's your worry?
All the while, our play in Ukraine will directly dictate future aggression to Taiwon?

Ukraine is a human shield. And that is a role that they are presently/actively pursuing. Which is good for us.
It is infinitely less expensive to help defend Ukraine than to militarize all of Ukraine's borders as a future defense strategy. There is absolutely zero benefit to the world with a Russian occupation of Kiev.

Plus... if we can help Ukraine hold out for the next election, we can provide an opportunity for Trump to be the arbiter for a peace deal.

The majority of this bill (80%) is replenishing our military stockpiles and continuing to send old tech/weapons to Ukraine.

6 months from now that 60 billion will be just a faint memory.

I agree.
The Ukraine spending is a drop in the bucket for our budget.
If you are against spending on Ukraine, I haven't heard your outrage to leadership (i.e. literally removing politicians who status quo the budget) for the rest of the budget.
So you don't really give a shite about Ukraine spending. It is just the next twitter hot political button (until the next one takes its place 6 months from now). Outrage is an internet fad.
