U.S. has tried to find the "sweet spot" between supporting Ukraine and punishing Russia .
Peter Schroeder : Trying to make Putin back down is a futile exercise that only wastes lives and resources.
He says Putin 's invasion of Ukraine was a war of choice; he could have decided to cut his losses.
But Putin isn't an opportunist, at least not in Ukraine , Schroeder says.
After Russia seized Crimea in March and April 2014 , the Ukrainian government was in disarray.
Instead of aggressively seizing more territory, Putin chose to incite a rebellion in eastern Ukraine that could be used as a bargaining chip.
Putin opted instead for a political solution, agreeing to the Minsk Protocol .
The invasion was a surprisingly risky move for Putin because he had tended to be risk-averse internationally.
