Unfortunately, that is not in the US interest; their only concern is China, why a weak Russia is better than a disolved federation up for grabs. Anything will be sacrificed, apparently, for that goal.

Russian economic collapse: Russian Railways has urgently requested 200 billion rubles because it's out of money.
The government is afraid to give them money though because so many other state companies are in equally deep trouble and need money too.

True. There will be no real peace with Putin in charge. Would he settle - even at current maximalist demands - he is also dead and he knows it. Putin must go.

Russia attacked #Kharkiv last night. 32 people injured, two of them children.
Supermarkets, vehicles, other infrastructure damaged.
Russia continues making Kharkiv's life pure hell under the pretext of "liberation" or whatever their excuse for terror is.

Whereas if Russia LOSES this war, or if Ukraine regains a hefty chunk of the occupied lands, Putin will be seen as a loser in Moscow, quickly replaced and deals with a new leader will be much easier and fruitful.
So helping Putin to escape now actually harms the US economy.

Trump announced another meeting with Putin, this time in Budapest.
I fully expect it to buy Russia more time, help them evade sanctions, and yield no meaningful progress toward ending the war.

Your point is absolutely valid in a country where paranoia is a useful trait. Yet, a traditional answer is that the relatively low flat rate income tax at 13% limits the risk reward in the tax cost vs being found out in a repressive society.

Absolutely any war can always be ended "almost instantly" if you want - for this it is enough to simply capitulate. In fact, Trump directly accuses Ukraine of not capitulating.
