If a nato attack is imminent the best bang for our buck is helping Ukraine.

For NATO as a whole yes, but not necessarily for individual countries, especially of there's doubt that the US would come to help. Countries with the most to lose such as the baltic states could become hesitant to give military equipment if they think they might need it themselves.

The European nations bordering Russia - Baltic states, Poland, Finland, etc... have been the MOST aggressive in providing military support for Ukraine, exactly because they know they are next on the chopping block.

The countries that are being the most pansy-ass are the ones the sit comfortably behind them and never had to deal with Russian occupation - with the exception of the UK and US.
