I do t think there are any ‘defeated conservatives’ that want to see Putin win anything.
What those folks want is for the USA to take care of the USA. That isn’t our fight. Never has been.
Ukraine isn’t an ally. Ukraine isn’t in NATO. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet.
The US has its own problems. Sorry about the US.
As for Russia not being able to take more than some small border towns, all be used there fighting the US and NATO, using Ukrainian personnel as cannon fodder.
US and NATO end their support, that thing is over.
And... you are guaranteeing a major nuclear war (that may well not even start with Russia and the US) in 50 years or less.
I have no illusions of what lies beneath Europe’s present thin veneer of soft civilization.
Taking care of the US? Absolutely. Russia is threatening to nuke us right now. It certainly in US interest to kick Russian corruption and influence out of Europe. Both economically and morally. No people should have live under boot of the genocidal mania that the Russian World brings to its colonial subjects.
Here is a self identified Russian nazi leader explaining the situation. Among other things he explains Ukraine is not a nation and why Ukrainians must be killed. Utter madness and mental delusion there. Highly educational and worth the watch.

Are we situational conservatives now? A little genocide on the side is ok as long as none of the blood gets on us? Surely, a political movement with no core believes and that stands for nothing will be nothing.
