The first accusation, prolonging the war and maximizing deaths, is the most contentious and the hardest to prove.

As for the second and third, I think a lot of Americans would be in favor of both of those things. Putin is literally a former KGB spook with ideas of expanding Russia back to its USSR or Imperial borders. I watch a lot of news, and I haven't seen any Western leaders call for Putin's ouster. Moreover, most Americans see the expansion of NATO as a very good thing. The entire point of NATO was to check the power of the Soviet Union and prevent it from expanding, so a proxy war where NATO soldiers' lives aren't on the line and Ukraine gets Western military technology seems like the perfect balance to me.

I have yet to hear any compelling arguments that the invading Russians are the "good guys" or even that, other than the fiscal expense, NATO shouldn't be aiding Ukraine against Russian aggression.
