Also, it just makes financial sense to help the Ukrainians defend their country. Hear me out.

The US hasn’t had a peer or near peer war in a long time. This gives a huge amount of data to better use the pentagons funding.

They can allocate more money to drones and anti drone systems, test out new equipment and see if it’s worth continuing to invest in and see how these systems truly stack up against their counterparts and learn from them.

That said, US military funding is fucked and we spend way too much on it. Even if we had a smaller budget, it still makes sense.
