There are a number of reasons why Congress needs to pass Ukraine aid yesterday, but defeating Putin and preventing him from annexing large parts of his democratic neighbor is only part of the reason. Putin has been actively undermining American security with the help of Trump and his cabal. He is also part of the revanchist culture war bullshit that so animates the modern Right.
My deceased father used to decry the center left's focus on cultural issues, and I'm sure he would have contorted himself in knots with whataboutism in regards to campus leftists when confronted with an international rightist movement that wants to bring about some sort of Opus Dei monarchical form of government. Naïve kids vs the entire Republican Party and its presidential nominee; exactly the same.
