Devastating the military and economy of one of the nation's most dangerous enemies is quite valuable.

--------------------

Another point politicians need to practice hammering home in concise sound bytes.

American's military spending to support Ukraine against Russia is literally THE single most effective expenditure of money on actual military goals since D-Day. There has been no higher percentage of spending on the part of the US for "military" uses that has actually destroyed a higher percentage of verifiable military capability of an enemy as our supplying of Ukraine. Without a SINGLE American life being risked to do it.

Beyond THAT aspect, it is highlighting to the entire world what a charade Putin's conventional military capabilities really are, making more countries reluctant to partner with him, it's crippling the Russian economy making it vastly more difficult for them to rebuild the military or modernize it or invest in anything else and it is serving as a proving ground for new technologies which also informs US policymakers of future dangers with our legacy capabilities, again without risking a single American soldier. We're getting all of learning benefits of an active war regarding our gear and capabilities without putting up any American lives to do it. That's a very crass, calculating comment but it's the truth.

There is no higher return on military investment the US can make right now in achieving our defense goals than continuing to support Ukraine. Anyone who thinks we need to withdraw military support is clearly supporting Putin and another 20 years of destabilization throughout Europe which will cost America far more to fix than containing the damage where its at and focusing it on Russia.
