I know you are kidding because no one expected the U.S. to do anything of the sort with dear leader at the helm.  I've since read some other analyses and most of them fall into the category of Putin having filled the vacumn in the Middle East left by the west and is now considered the dominant player there which was his mission.  None mentioned my idea that it was expensive and their economic problems.
