Its always about MONEY - especially in wars.

Even nearly one hundred years ago, General Smedley Butler, one of the most decorated marine said this:

"I spent 33 years and four months in active military service and during that period I spent most of my time as a high class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street and the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer; a gangster for capitalism. I helped make Mexico and especially Tampico safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefit of Wall Street. I helped purify Nicaragua for the International Banking House of Brown Brothers in 1902–1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for the American sugar interests in 1916. I helped make Honduras right for the American fruit companies in 1903. In China in 1927 I helped see to it that Standard Oil went on its way unmolested. Looking back on it, I might have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents".

Those who think that Russia is expansionist and Russia is the aggressor are completely missing the point.
Russia doesn't need more land or resources it has more than enough resources to exploit for a million years.
It's Russia's mineral and gas wealth which the giant US corporations find irresistible.
