Look its pretty simple, you don't want your country to be a big threat/strategic target for Putin.

You're saying that the U.S. wants Germany to be attacked by Russia? Really?

No I think the US doesn't care whether Germany gets attacked or not as long as they profit from the war and reach their strategic goal's. Germany is a great spot to put some long range attack missiles to threaten Russia.

I don't think you understand how economics works. The U.S. profits a lot more from peaceful trade with Germany than it does war with Russia.

3.5% of total U.S. global exports of $2.1 trillion were exported to Germany

Why you think the U.S. would want to lose such a huge amount of money over a war, I don't know. But the war would in no way make up for it. You don't make up for a loss that large with a nuclear war. What a bizarre idea.
