I’m not sure what one would be seeing to possibly infer such a thing.
Compared to every other major combatant of WW2, the US got off easy We really, really did.
But the trauma from that conflict drives a whole lot of political policy across the entire globe, right up until the present day.
Even if you don't see it

Why is the EU pushing continued war in Ukraine?

The frustration of the Obama administration at Europe’s hesitant policy over the pro-democracy protests in Ukraine has been laid bare in a leaked phone conversation between two senior US officials, one of whom declares: “frick the EU”.
quote:
The conversation underlines mounting US frustration at the EU’s position on the ongoing democracy protests in Ukraine. The EU has held back from joining US threats to impose sanctions should the Ukrainian regime violently suppress the protests.
The propaganda machine is solid, the citizenry are dumb, so the narrative will continue on.
Its our mess. We orchestrated it, fought against EU desires, used force to gain influence and now we claim victimhood.

In your own words what was the goal in the creation of the European Union?
To pool economic power together in order to compete in the global marketplace, but also, and more importantly to govern so that a common agenda is forced upon ALL sovereign powers. It is all under the guise of that which is beneficial to all united, but the real end result is being seen as we speak in the fanatical regulations on travel, green legislation, and radical micro governing of people’s lives that are on the horizon for all of Europe. When someone says you have to be climate neutral in 30 years, and those proposing these restrictions enjoy a lifestyle that most in Europe do not, and yet want to blanket it on all of EU citizens, you begin to understand there are agendas afoot that simply do not care about YOU in the least. It’s always about the ruling class and those tied at their hip enriching themselves, and controlling you like a marionette tied to the ends of their fingers.
In the infamous words of Tears for Fears, “Everybody wants to rule the world”

The goal is to flood Europe with immigrants and create a new unified third world communist non-white shithole

I be fair, the same stuff has plagued everywhere else too absent a strong empire.
You either have a bunch of petty tyrants, or one big tyrant (who appoints a bunch of petty tyrants)

All invasions by definition are illegal to the country being invaded.
If China invaded Taiwan, Taiwan would view it as illegal whereas China would view it as legal to bring them back into the fold.
You definitely have that lawyer talk down.

To keep the Germans and the French from being at each others throats. Get as much of Europe tied together economically so its bad for everyone if a war breaks out.

Economically…. Freer movement of capital and labor, less red tape at borders, etc.
Brexit has been a disaster for the UK by any measure. Even it’s supporters now admit it.

Depends on what you prefer. Freedom or more financial aid.

You do what the US did prior to invading Iraq and go before the UN, state your case then have the other member nations vote.
Russia, who also has a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, could have done this… but instead they chose to go all cloak and dagger.
Just being tongue in check, I don't Vlad, Kim and many other world leaders are too concerned about what's considered legal to the UN.

To economically and politically compete with the US.
