Exactly. To go further this was a 100% US initiated war. A propaganda strategy meant to fake otherwise in order for Russians to think they should not defend themselves was only a strategy to maintain our sides weapons profits. The main US victory in the war was capturing Europe energy and weapon sales, and instilling a militarist attitude towards Russia. It would be an even greater US victory if Europe spends 5% of GDP on US weapons to lose a fight against Russia on its own.
