Please define "we". This is a international community so you can't assume that everyone lives in the same country as you.

The Default Country, I guess

If the US doesn't pass aid for Ukraine Russia will have the ability to attrition a win eventually.

More importantly for the US, China will see the lack of support as a sign of weakness increasing the timeline for a active conflict over Taiwan.

Ukraine is a test case for Taiwan that the Chinese government is paying extreme attention to

Ukraine alone won't be the cause for a dystopian scenario with Russia as the world government, but I don't like where it would be going if Ukraine fell. Russia surely wouldn't stop afterwards. I'd rather see a world where trade connects people than a world where governments forcefully connect people via ideologies. The latter never worked out for anyone.

I do still have at least a little hope Ukraine is going to win. A territory does not typically successfully invade another territory a second time. However, I continue to be outspoken for Ukraine. Without aid, Ukraine will probably do what Chechnya is doing and just resort to dirtier tactics, which I'm glad Ukraine is not doing yet.

Who is we???

Perhaps OP is a member of the US congress, trying to figure out what to vote for? πŸ€ͺ

There is a nice sample of Michael Parenti talking about this kind of use of the word "we" at the beginning of this song. (lyrics here)

Then there will be more aid to israel.

Ukraine will continue to fight for what is rightfully theirs. They've done an outstanding job so far, and it's really highlighted the decline of Russian influence on the world stage. Russia is nothing more than a petrodollar fueled aggressor.
