What is the end game and how do you propose that it will be of benefit to normal Americans here in America?

The Orcs leave Ukraine. I'd be good with that.

NATO countries build up their defense to a level that stops any further Orc aggression before it ever happens. Why would anyone expect them to do that THIS TIME?

Europe gets off the Russian energy teat and buys more USA energy. Possible, but Russia will always have price on their side due to transportation[short term memory will come into play]

USA mil spending aligns to countering the ChiCom threat. We're broke, China's broke. Maybe?

Breaking the Orc Horde has real benefits to the USA. Doing it without spending any USA blood is doubly awesome.But we're spending too many $$'s
