That's right, US isn't fighting for some values or abstract freedoms, it's fighting to secure the right of the oligarchs to plunder the resources of Ukraine. Anybody who still doesn't understand this has a brain as smooth as a bowling ball.
It originally was trying to plunder the resources of Russia again, like they did in the 90's. They miscalculated and now are settling for Ukraine.
That was supposed to be the big prize, and Balkanizing Russia would allow US to surround China with puppet regimes in the west. RAND even helpfully outlined the strategy in a paper they published back in 2019 https://www.rand.org/pubs/research_reports/RR3063.html
