You can't just cut keeping tyrants at bay though. I totally agree starting a war is stupid, but defending against invasion definitely isn't. And it prevents future wars from starting or spreading. So as cool as it would be to invest trillions into space exploration, we can't just leave Ukraine out to dry.
I totally agree with you, I'm all for funding Ukraine's defense. It's just my idealist fantasy that everyone one day wakes up and realizes we're being collectively quite stupid for the benefit of a very small segment of the population and we could do so much more if we cut them out.
