Ukrainians have been sacrificing their lives to defend us all from Russian imperialism, and all they ask for is weapons. It's almost three years on now, and yet here we are.

Russia has publicly stated their geopolitical goal is to reestablish control of the Suwalto gap.
That is in Poland I believe.
An invasion of Poland prompts all NATO members to declare war and attack Russia.
With the state of Russia's armed forces, NATO would devastate Russian armed forces within a week to the point, the Russian regime would not be able to defend itself from internal threats.
That would imply nukes
Its regime is already attacking NATO -- at least from what more or less officially amounts to NATO's perspective:

Just not in any old school, "tanks across the Vistula" sense.
But in a modern 21st century sense.
Ukraine had agreements from the West that we would defend them if Russia ever invaded. We are in violation of those agreements technically even with the level of support that was shown, which we provided as assurances for Ukraine surrendering its nuclear capability.
You're conflating attack and defense, framing the West funding of Ukraine's defense as an attack. You are downplaying the aggression that Putin has showed in multiple occasions in defiance of international law.
It's hard to see you as anything but a Russian troll using classic doublespeak and misdirection typical of Russian intelligence services.
Putin's goons are driving middle-eastern refugees to the border and are trying to forcibly push these people to Polish side. Last year, Belarusan Mi-8 military helicopters flew at low altitude some 2km into Poland's territory. In June, Polish soldier was stabbed to death.
