Do you believe the US should otherwise support Ukraine in its fight against Russia? Just rule out entry to NATO?

I view what the Biden Administration has done propping up the Ukrainians as being remarkably similar to what Roosevelt achieved via Lend Lease. We ship out the currently unused inventory in our stockpile, then get the economic benefit of ramping up production at our defense contractors to replace it with newer stock. Meanwhile, in addition to exporting military vehicles and munitions, we also export the horrors and suffering of war. No American soldiers are dying. No American land is suffering the environmental catastrophe of constant battle. Just like with Lend Lease, the side that otherwise would have been quickly overrun is kept in the fray, inflicting losses on our perceived common enemy and providing us valuable military intelligence, while we sit comfortably thousands of miles away and spout worthless nonsense like, We Stand With Ukraine!

America has become very good at this. We project our power while sustaining minimal damage to our personnel and none at all to our physical country. One would think the rest of the world would have caught on by now.
