People think that this is in order to hurt Russia, and it is, but it is also to disrupt the EU and keep them reliant on the US.

Exactly. And that's why this war has been successful for the US. They never needed or cared about Ukraine winning. They were going to meet the objectives they cared about.

I'd also add that the third objective here was to clear all the old munition stocks, and probide profit fir the MIC, since Afghanistan was shut down, but that kind if goes without saying
