Putin ain't going to quit until he gets Crimea.....and then he will go after the Ukraine......not quite as overtly. He needs the Crimea. He'd like to have the Ukraine. But after this, the odds are tiny. He made a mistake. He should have kept up the propaganda and the odds are good that Crimea would have had a referendum by themselves fairly soon. The Ukraine is not going to be stable for a while yet. This way, he spooked the West. Europe is going to move to minimize their dependence on Russian energy. And that is going to be painful. The oil is pretty fungible, so that should not have much effect on energy prices. And cutting the oil off isn't going to hurt Russia much. But the gas is a different thing. That takes a lot of infrastructure to export, on both ends. So that will hurt. That is why he is pretending those Russians troops are not really Russian. He wants to hang onto that business.
