> To own Russia? That's not the goal. It's for security: It's less risky now to fight Russia then later, after they've conquered more people and territory, and have political momentum. It's for security again: If Russia wins, it greatly damages the international order which has prevented wide-scale war for generations. Remember the world before 1945. It's for people: The lives, freedom, rights, and prosperity of tens of millions of people are at stake. |

This is a fair and logical point.

That very international order hinges on the US being the sole dominator of the entire world. Sooner or later that sort of international order has to crack.
> The lives, freedom, rights, and prosperity of tens of millions of people are at stake.
Pax Americana is paid for (in blood, natural resources, political sovereignty and the fate of every single future generation) by hundreds of millions of people, though outside of the "western, civilized" world. You still consider it some righteous cause? Sounds kind of selfish.
