Nobody is claiming that the west isn't massively benefitting from Russia lighting itself on fire. That's not a grand conspiracy, that's just Russia being in a war they started themselves that they have no way of exiting.
Why does the US have all the agency in introducing new members to NATO? Every signatory has to agree, and they can't forcefully induce members or force them to stay like the Warsaw Pact could. By this logic then I guess the west could rightfully attack Russia for attempting to expand their sphere of influence?
