And if it's my money that's going to be spent, I want it spent in a way that has a tangible benefit. And I don't see any tangible benefits in keeping the Russians out of Ukraine. (Never mind that there is no way in hell any kind of actual direct action makes it past any politicians in D.C.)
How is this different than the last time when we had to draw the line at Berlin? or the time before when we drew the line at Dunkirk? If one cannot see the value in keeping Russia from rebuilding the Soviet Bloc...it has to start soemewhere. If they don't respect the Ukraine border, whey would we expect them to respect any other?

Some are born free. Some have freedom thrust upon them. Others simply surrender
