There is no excuse for funding war except in self defense.
The United States once again throwing fuel on a fire, paid for by taxpayers. We have a long history of making geopolitical tensions and conflicts worse by intervening instead of focusing on defense of our own borders. Russia isn't going to invade the United States whether they seize more of the Ukraine or not.
You also can't use the good ol' protecting freedom excuse because the Ukraine has become a very authoritarian place. In 2014 they instituted a state of emergency that limited the freedoms of expression and assembly, and they extended this endless "temporary" measure in 2021. Journalists have been fined, arrested, harassed, and fired for speaking out against the government.
Russia is worse of course but that's besides the point. We should not be trying to be the entire world's police while our own country goes to shit.
