Voters in democracy tend to react better when debt or "others" are seen to be paying for things and not them...
I can assure you that if the everyday American saw in line item on their paycheck called "Ukraine War Tax" the public would be much less supportive, but since all the money is either printed, to debt then there is a disconnect between government spending, and the hidden tax of inflation everyone is paying but pretending to just be "greedy companies" and not government spending that is the cause
Don't worry. Politicians will be sending out mailers and running ads that put that "Ukraine War Tax" front and center into peoples' minds. Support for Ukraine is substantially higher on the left and is falling on the right as people begin blaming the war for rising fuel prices in the USA.
Republicans want the Presidency in 2024, and turning their base against Ukraine is going to be a pillar of their strategy.
People should be blaming decades of both Republican and Democrat spending policies, and a fed focused more on political goals than on solid classic economics which resulted in a over heated stock, and housing market that was never allowed to properly cool even after the market signaled several times there are systemic issues... Instead both the government and the fed just poured on the gas instead of putting water on the fire.
The War is just the needle that is contributing to the massive bubble popping
