I don't know why someone downvoated you; you've got it right. I think the dream outcome for the US here is to draw the Putin into a ground war against the US/Saudi-funded moderates/ISIS which will surely be a failure and so embarrassing for Putin that he loses power if he can't effectively control the media and the message that the average Russian hears. Losing prestige or spending a lot of money has never been a worry of the Americans when it comes to thwarting adversaries like Putin. The only issue is the US elections and how far this goes before there's a possible isolationist or anti-war president.
