He’s almost certainly right unless this is the first time in history (no laughing at the back) the USA have sought to intervene in a war that it didn’t have ulterior motives and turn into a proxy war for its own long term interests.

Prolonging the war almost certainly benefits the USA. Less so the future Ukrainian widows in the west for whom a peace agreement and returning home to reunite their families would be a good starting point.
