Literally no reason?

Having just finishing the war in the middle east, I'm sure the military complex would have a vested interest in joining / starting another conflict.

What about using a conflict to deflect attention away from a market breakdown?

What about using a conflict to drive a post-COVID recovery?

I'm not saying it definitely has to be one of these reasons, but I can think of many off the top of my head. Why are you so certain that USA or NATO nations would have no reason to start a conflict?

Nobody has put an armed conflict with Russia on the table, with the idea of sending US troops into Ukraine explicitly ruled out. The only responses being discussed are economic sanctions, which would slow a post-COVID recovery and would not distract from the domestic economy, and arming and training Ukrainian insurgents from bordering NATO countries. Your conspiracy theory just doesn't make sense in this context.
