The US would be insane to end the war without total humiliating withdrawal of Russia, how often as a superpower do you get to bitch slap your rival without putting a boot on the ground?
Russia's total withdrawal completely ends them as a military threat, takes them out of the middle east for decades and sends China the message that their tactics and equipment are useless, it forces them into at least a decade of retraining and reequipping all for less than the price of an aircraft carrier
