My opinion is: We need to quit giving this guy tens of billions of dollars. When we give it to him, he turns around and says: "It is not enough". That is a swift kick in the crotch to every single US Tax payer. Fuck him. We just went 1.7 trillion dollars more into debt last week, partly because of him.
What about the US border?
Give him adequate resources and he wouldn't have to ask for more.
You say give him nothing, but do you think WW 3 would be cheaper? Putin has already expressed desires to invade Poland and Romania, Nato Countries along with the Baltic States and recently even Germany:
VLADIMIR PUTIN once listed countries he could invade, including five EU countries

It's well believed that his aim is to restore the old Soviet Union and to do that he needs to retake all old ex-soviet nations and East Germany.
The UK UK Chief of Defence Staff, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin is reported as having said Putin could have intentions to invade Austria, Cyprus, Finland, Ireland, Malta, and Sweden:
RUSSIAN troops amassing on the border with Ukraine have sparked international concern. But is Vladimir Putin setting his sights further West?

Do you really think the USA could keep out of such a war, even putting it's NATO obligations aside.
Simple fact: If Putin invades any or all of those countries then the USA is in a full blown war in Europe and even if conventional, will have to deploy it's entire military forces into Europe to stop the Soviet Union. The daily cost of that, and the daily cost of all the ammunition fired will pale into insignificance with what's being spent now. The War in Afganistan cost the USA $300 Million per day for 20 years. That's 109.5 Trillion Dollars.
What about the US border? Why can't we spend the US citizens money on the US border? Why can't we rebuild our crumbling infrastructure nationwide? Why can't we help the disabled and poor veterans and the poor people in our own back yard? No, we leave them hanging out in the cold to fend for themselves while we step over them on the sidewalk, while we are letting millions of illegal aliens cross unobstructed on our border, and then give them money, housing and healthcare.
You can. It's your Politicians who are failing to fund it. As said above, there'd be far less money to do it, if the USA gets drawn into WWW3 in Europe.
The USA could stop the war tomorrow by actually joining it and wiping out Russian forces in Ukraine. Cost over. The risk and fear is of a uclear response from Putin. The USA retaking Ukraine would be a quick and relatively cheap option. In the absence of that, ou're only choice to stop being drawn into a prolonged and more expensive Europe wide war is to fund Ukraine to win. The problem here is you're supplying limited weapons to agin avoid getting drawn in. If you only give a man 1/2 the
tools, he can only do 1/2 the job, so expect a long drawn out and costly supply war. However the alternaive of doing nothing is far more expensive in the longr run when Putin invades other European ciountries.
As for US debt, the US can never pay it.
There are only 2 ways out I'm aware of:
1.The Great Reset where the country goes bankrupt (along with the rest of the world and all people) and a new currency is formed, porbably digital controlled by the central banks and maybe based on the gold standard wiping out all debt in the process
2. A revaluation of gold by a factor of 10 thus increasing the US's gold reserve value and thereby reducing the amount of deficit by a factor of 10 and buying decades of breathing space after which one of the two proces could be followed again
