How long can we afford to do that?

"quantative easing"

Literally printing money

can't fire money, can't print industrial capacity

While there’s infinite money, there’s very limited industrial capacity, because the US de-industrialized itself. The US and Europe combined already can’t keep Ukraine supplied.

I meant more politically and materially than just monetarily.

If we cut social programs at home and continue to send/ ramp up even more billions to support Israel it will just create even more unrest, which is already at a low boil.

We also don't have unlimited manufacturing capabilities. How much material can we sacrifice without weakening our own access to these resources.

Given the political climate, money isn't really the issue. The issue is how many THAAD missiles do we have stockpiled, how fast can we make them, and how fast can we ship them?

Depends on how much of the US military gets deployed in the US...
