Yes, but, direct US military action against Russian armed forces was never an option.
Arming the Ukrainian Armed Forces was, but, no matter how much we did that, Russia could crush them.
In my view, sanctions were the best option, along with reinforcing our military commitment to NATO.
I have never thought that Putin's best options were to invade Crimea, Eastern Ukraine or anywhere else. I never understood why he chose this path.
I don't know, but, to me it seems that Russia's best interests would be served by being a partnered with the West, not at odds with the West.
