The problem is that those strategic interests are opposite to thise of the US. Allowing Putin to achieve them would be worse for the Europeans in the short run. Middle term the costs to the US would almost certainly be very painful nonetheless.
If the consequences are so important to Europe then why isn't Europe more pro-active in doing something about it? Why is the U.S. going solo on this mission? It's not important to Europeans and it's not important to the U.S. interests. It's about cockblocking Russia and that's all.
