I believe the answer to also be related to momentum and a broad strategic rivalry. When we look only from the dimension of Pentagon spending, right now China probably serves as a better justification than Russia does as a threat the MID (yes) will need to defend us from. However when we look at the economic realities of Europe and US control/influence over Europe, it makes some sense as to why the US has antagonized Russia after the Cold War. An example would be how Biden destroyed Nordstream and the Eurocrats cheered. And to a hammer, everything looks like a nail. It makes sense that all the sovietologists in the CIA and in the halls of US power would have an interest in perpetuating the rivalry that had been the focal point of their careers and that justified their departments. In other words, it probably has a bit to do with the politics of the Empire, and how games of Imperial Power have been played since the days of Rome, and since the days of Athens and Sparta before that. I think you basically have it right and that conflict with Putin is useful to the people in control of the Empire and perhaps to the Empire itself.
