A proxy war puts us much closer to a full out war than just sitting out this regional conflict we have no stakes in.

What is it you feel we are getting out of each $60B increment? And why is it more valuable than just spending it directly in our country? Seems all I'm hearing is we get to test some outdated weapons for the tidy sum of $120 billion while increasing the chances of a military conflict with a nuclear armed country.
I just want to know what we are getting with this enormous sum of money. Not some vague 4D chess answer.
