I am thinking the U.S.A. is historically military and with that British conquering spirit, just likes to conquer.

No doubt. That would be my preference.

The play would be a "save face victory".
Bring in the Indians or other BRIC nations to play buffer. Evac any ethnic Russians that want to go to Russia and pull out. Claim a victory and keep those buffer nations there long enough to GTFO.
Mistake was timing. He did not wait long enough for the idiot Europeans to be like 95% dependent on Russian energy. (Well, maybe I should shut up. Let's just say I would make a good Strategic Dictator if that would have been my role in life).

My guess would be to remove the pacific fleet from operation capabilities so they can island hop to the west coast.
Didn't work too good though.
