Right now the goal is to divide the US into multiple regions to overstretch them. Europe (Ukraine, Russia) where Crimea just got struck using US weapons and harming civilians, Middle East (Yemen, Israel, Palestine, very likely Lebanon soon and if that happens...) And Asia (Taiwan, South China Sea) where we have had an increase in hostilities recently.

Whose goal? Is there some overarching cabal deciding that Russia is going to start a war, manipulating middle eastern politics, and making Chinese military plans?

BRICS?

The Crimean civilian injuries were due to Russia shooting down the missiles and knocking them off course, not using air sirens to warn civilians, not building shelters, and encouraging tourism in an active war zone.

Not sure if it's stupidity on Russia's part or deliberately using civilians as cover in temporality occupied Crimea but it's not the first time Russia has placed military hardware near public beaches:

And as you highlighted this is Russia's own doing, as the damage was from its own air defense missiles

This, people are talking oil sales as if this is just economics. This is Cold War.

Also if it wasn't obvious all the dominoes started to fall with Russia and for a country that didn't even have a shot at joining the EU. It is incredible how much US foreign policy has failed.

Your position is based on the assumption that Ukraine is an isolated affair.
