Well, expensive military help can end.
Just like NATO no-fly-zone over Libya ended.
But unstabilization likely will keep forever.
Iraq and Libya are the new paradigm of American empire domination. Cheapest domination, in the middle of chaos.
Black Rock will gain nothing, and if someday all the invesments of Black Rock in europe just blow up in a Russia nuclear war, it will be a wonderful news to USA.
USA elite doesnt need money, they can print it, they need assure supply of energy and raw materials for the next 100 years, and to do that, it's needed to turn first world into third world (except USA).
USA (and China) is enough to satisfy American ruling elite needs, they dont need European investments.
And money is just a way of exchange richness, it's not richness.
Maybe expensive military help will end when the firsts Russian nukes fall in Frankfurt, then USA wont need to keep acting this nonsense hollywood comedy in real world.
sure, aid can end, but Ukraine is right next to EU/NATO, a large failed state will constantly require NATO attention, refugees, weapons black market, drugs, all manner of illegal activities that nato will need to watch out for. people are thinking that refugees from the middle east and africa to europe is bad now, but they at least have a massive body of water and very limited routes into europe, this is not the case for Ukraine.
and nuclear war is not good news to anyone. you seriously think any EU/russia nuclear exchange will not involve nato and hence the us (hello? article 5?)? all the money, power and resources in the world means nothing if everyone dies in a nuclear war and even the most powerful at best can only lead a brief radiation filled, sick existence in a bunker.
also,the us isnt short on energy or most raw materials. its a continent size country like china and russia with tons of resources within the country. except it has enough population to be very powerful(unlike russia) but not too much to require a lot of external resources for its own people(unlike china. this is also why its bad news for the west when russia is forced into being a chinese resource appendage, it solves chinese resource problems and bypasses most potential choke points like the malacca strait.
The us doesn't need the energy and resource, what it wants is world hegemony. the kind it enjoyed 1991 to about 2008. this is why it cannot help but want to start a new cold war and attempt to contain china
since the real competition is with china, europe is a sideshow that is bad news for the us, it isnt enough to take out russia but enough to force washington to waste attention and wealth there, while weakening its european allies which could have otherwise thrown its energy in with the us into competition with china. and china is making moves while the west is held up, see the situation in the middle east and china's slow but clear inroads into the pacific via the minor island nations. china is by no means more influential than the us right now, but the pattern is clear, china influence grows and the us' wanes in comparison.
