Not a chance. Putin put a stop to Obama's war plans last time around just by deploying a few naval assets to the region. With Russia troops and planes already there in the fight? He'd have to be absolutely insane to attack now. Russia is not fucking around on this issue. They're in the right here and they're not going to back down.
If anyone's been bogged down in expensive conflicts, it's the USA: at war since 2001. The Russians got stung in Afghanistan in the 1980s, and I don't think Putin's silly enough to do similar again.

Keep it going? It's just a trap to get Putin bogged down in a quagmire that he can't afford.
