    The fact you think the US would invade Russia for natural resources is inconsistent with reality

    The US wage illegal wars and military operations and do regime changes for resources, like Iraq, Venezuela, Argentina.

    The US financed NGOs. It looks like bringing freedom until one remembers the homeless and uninsured in the US. Yeltsin was supported against the Communists. The US almost were im control.

    There is still an invasion looming because how else can the US contain China? That makes Nato rockets in Ukraine tricky.

    but the simplest to understand is: nukes

    Which is changing with SpaceX Starshield.

    If the US were is invade any major country for natural resources, it would be Canada.

    Canada is part of the Western sphere. No need to invade. They can get controlling stocks in companies. Many international mining companies are based in Canada.

    There is no situation where the US would attack Russia for natural resources.

    Not a direct attack but the North Stream pipeline explosion allows the US to sell expensive fracking gas to the EU.

    The US don’t fight for the resources but for the influence. They don’t need the oil in the middle east for themselves.

    They need them for sanctions, like the ones against Iran and Cuba. China cannot be isolated if they have access to Russian resources.
