What happened in Ukraine before the Russian invasion had nothing to do with the US or NATO. It's a revolution by the Ukrainian people themselves. As a matter of fact, US has repeatedly deny requests from Poland, Czech and others for military assistance in order to appease Russia. Putin just used the Ukrainian revolution as an excuse for his aggression in order to restore the Russian empire, he will not stop at Crimea or Ukraine. Washington's weakness only embolden Putin to go further.
Russia also does not want to a military confrontation with the West, but you never hear Putin or any Russian officials say that. Because they remember the number 1 rule in a conflict: never show weakness in front of your enemies or you just invite them to attack you. By repeatedly saying he will never want military conflicts with Russia, Obama is just keep waving a white flag in front of Putin, how stupid is that?
I think it largely depends on what US do next, if US continue to pull Russia's neighboring countries to join NATO, for example, Putin may react again.
