he also seems to look at the oil price and assumes that it does not make much sense to fight an oil war for 46 dollars per barrel. so a good chance to send putin his christmas present.

if he would be really smart he would make this decision much slower and talk to the world before. and MAYBE he could sell it as a human act and win sympathy back.
that people praise him for something is the thing he wants most - and as he did not see this chance and use it shows me and everybody with a brain that is just a little bit bigger than yours, that this was not a plan someone thought about and check it against the consequences.

but in GENERAL i am with you when it comes to the question if it makes sense to occupy ANY country. basically it is a good thing when america starts to get the ass out of other country´s affairs and problems.
