Introduction:
On the otherhand we're greatly weakening Russia and it is now unlikely that we'll have to fight a broader scale war with them in Europe. I doubt China is going attack anyone. They care more about economic growth and war III would be really bad for them.

So far, US economic and military aid to Ukraine, along with security assistance, is estimated at about 100 billion dollars.
According to a March 25 report in the New York Times, it could take at least five to 13 years to replace some of these weapons in the US military inventories.
The Times quoted a spokesman for Raytheon, one of the major arms manufacturers in the US, who warned that replacing the Stinger missile stock alone “would take 13 years of production at recent capacity levels to replace them”.
“It has sent so many Javelin missiles that it would take five years at last year’s rates to replace them.”
If a large-scale war broke out with China, “within one week the US would run out of so-called long-range anti-ship missiles”, a vital weapon in any engagement with China, according to a series of war-game exercises conducted by the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
