You'd think a revival of the Soviet Union would be an even harder sell.

Not really. There is a reason that Putin is doing this now. After 20 years of expensive and pointless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq there is absolutely zero American public interest in a war. Especially one in defense of another country, regardless of the treaty obligations involved.
No one wants it, which doesn't always matter but there is also not a ton of money to be made off of it. There isn't going to be an occupation so there is no money in it for defense contractors, and there aren't resources to exploit since it's going to be in a first world European country (so it won't be allowed) so there is no money in it for mining or oil companies.
