I am skeptical of the large sums we are providing to Ukraine as well.  We may (or may not) save Ukraine, but it is a win if we bankrupt the our own country doing it?  I think we have all seen what can happen when you throw money at a "problem", think Iraq and Afghanistan among others, and I often think that we don't know what success looks like.  I feel like if the fighting does stop in Ukraine and the Russians withdraw, then we will see billions of dollars sent there to rebuild their country, and we will ask ourselves where it will end.  

Having been raised up in the quasi military/diplomatic world of security assistance, I could list for you chapter and verse the objectives that involve providing assistance to countries.  Do I think it always works? No.  Do I think we always get our money's worth? No.  I've seen countries become "entitled" to the point that if our strategic objectives change and the assistance is reduced, they can become quite irate.
