Indeed, and if you look back at the start of the war in Ukraine it’s pretty clear that’s what US thought of Russia. Now they’re realizing they’re fighting a peer competitor and it’s not going well.
more charitably to US planning you could also conclude that America wanted to make the war costly for Russia but doesn’t actually care about Ukrainian ownership of the Crimea or what happens to Ukraine

For sure, but even with that in mind I would argue that things have gone catastrophically wrong for US.
