I do think they genuinely hoped to break Russia up at the start of this, but also agree that there are plenty of secondary goals. Making sure Europe doesn't become economically integrated with the east, and funnelling money to the oligarchs who own the war industry are two obvious goals US is currently achieving.

Don't forget to put a rosy-red Nord Stream cherry on top, sprinkle with sweet cash from threefold-priced LNG, add a pinch of Ukrainian blacksoil and a few drops of "Bleeding Russia" (stirred, not shaken) - there's your "Freedom (c) and Democracy^tm^" pie recipe. Serve hot-handed.
