Breaking Russia up is the only way to make sure they'll never be a threat again. It's what Hitler wanted to do. These successor state governments will be appointed by the Davos aristocracy and will run their countries into the ground the way Yeltsin did in the 90s. Neoliberals will make a handsome profit doing it.
Too big, not good terrain, and would require a serious a competent presence all throughout that border region.
The US can just mint new dollars to pay for it all. It's not like it's real money.
Except they would need to keep those states afloat if they wanted a buffer and means of invading China. You cannot both destabilize and throw caution to the wind, in the same move as building a front-line for what would be a world war. Also NATO wants threats, they existentially need them. This is how HOI4 TNO works, not the real world.
