The more money we spend on Ukraine, the more we hurt ourselves

As in Vietnam, we're on the wrong side of this particular war. As with South Vietnam, we're supporting an artificially created entity, designed specifically and solely to halt or control a perceived competitor. In the case of Ukraine, Russia, in the case of South Vietnam, it was China. As with Vietnam we're spending limitless sums with little obvious result other than, perhaps, delaying the inevitable, at huge economic cost to ourselves. As with Vietnam, we're bending over backwards to demonize our opponents, really just our competitors. As with Vietnam, we're constantly seeing light at the end of the tunnel. As with Vietnam, we're constantly reassuring ourselves that our opponent is on the verge of economic collapse, when, more often than not, it's actually us! The grand old man of U.S. Diplomacy -- Henry Kissinger -- has himself said that Ukraine must give up territory if it wants this war to end, short of Ukraine's utter destruction as a nation. They cannot beat Russia, no matter how much money we spend on them. Just like Vietnam. And, Dr. Kissinger knows something about this scenario! He's seen it all before, you know.
