The military industrial complex will need another conflict to dump ~$80b/yr worth of weapons. The administration, no matter if it's D or R, will find another regional conflict to meddle in (or start a new one).
When the new conflict gets rolling, the propaganda machine will spin up and the libs will be mindlessly repeating whatever causus beli that the executive has invented.
Ukraine will be old news. Reconstruction is boring, it does not drive clicks. No one will pay attention. When is the last time you heard a news story about Iraq?
