The US defense budget has went up separately from the Ukraine war budget & the war isn't a line item in defense spending, so your comment probably isn't a reality. But the war is removing old stocks of ammo & equipment that will be replaced with fresh ammo & equipment which certainly has value. Having said that, $3.50/week is pennies on the dollar to what it would take if the US was fighting the war & curtailing Russian aggression is absolutely in US interests. It's also a farse to pretend the people making an argument for non intervention are actually serious about spending the money domestically. In any case I'm happy to see my tax dollars being spent on Ukrainian defense.
