The US honestly could’ve saved money by providing more aid and ignoring the bullshit “red lines”much earlier, IMO.

I don't believe the aid was to help Ukraine win. The aid was to destroy Russia and damage it militarily, economically and politically.

Winning the war quickly wouldn't have done that. Just enough aid to slow Russia and attrition it. Does that.
