Until Israel and Iran started trading missiles, I was 100% against helping to fund Ukraine but then this situation sort of slapped me in the face and opened my eyes. I’m still 90% against it BUT if the Iran/Israel thing gets out of hand, we need Russia bogged down in a quagmire in Ukraine as much as possible because they’re aligned with Iran. Last thing we need is Russia, and potentially China, getting in on that action. I don’t like the money we’re pissing away there but if it distracts Russia and prevents them from entering a broader war that breaks out in the Middle East, then ok.

I agree with just about everything you laid with that pragmatic and prudent approach. It’s all very necessary, not that it’s all done in the most efficient/legitimate manner - review and revision where necessary should ALWAYS be in the picture. But again your approach is prudent.
