I'd even argue that ITER is more useless than both your examples. High Speed Rail and modern defense do not have good alternatives to them.
Fusion has an alternative: Fission.
Sure, it might not be as sustainable in the long term (although with wide deployment of Breeder Reactors it might be), but we have enough Uranium for the short term anyway.
And we have many decades of experience with them, how to deploy them most economically, how to use them with the least downtime (more than 90% uptime in many reactors) and so on.
