I don’t disagree with you. Would be nice to put money elsewhere. Unfortunately, everyone will have LESS money to spend on the important stuff (the things you mentioned).

It will take time for the world to change policies, but I believe Putin’s actions will cause most countries to ramp up military spending in the coming years. The US economy will likely benefit as a major exporter of these materials/goods. Just reason #278,923 why this invasion was a colossal strategic mistake for Russia.
