Putin even called this out publicly.
France has a big hand in alot of this which is why it is kinda some sort of twisted karma/blowback in a way that they got ISIS attacks multiple times. I am sure Mr. Putin was secretly kii'ing each time France got sadly attacked

Well yeah France gets its oil from Libya but to say we invaded to get oil is dishonest. France had its self-serving reasons behind getting Gaddafi out but America and the UK didn't get a cent out of it. As for ISIS, they find a pathway to any Muslim majority country with the slightest bit of unrest. It's easy to get them out of Libya though.
I think Obama's anti-military attitude in his first term is what screwed the world over. From getting the troops out of Iraq and not trying to renegotiate GWB's agreement, to deposing Gaddafi and then becoming completely separated from Libya following the Benghazi attacks, he basically gave ISIS all of the power and territory it needed. That sort of attitude is just as dangerous as the Bush era neocon one. There should be a middle ground for US foreign policy to truly be successful.
As for Putin, he's evil and I'm glad his economy was crippled a bit by the US's sanctions. But now he's gonna become more powerful than ever and start some unprecedented imperialistic approaches to Russian foreign policy.
Just look at what Condi had to say about him long after she retired:
