That's hardly an excuse. This incursion is no better than if the US were to invade Cuba. Imperialism doesn't benefit the world anymore.

It is entirely different from the US invading Cuba.

The problem is both sides are pretty much right. The old government was close to a Russian puppet state and the new one is anti-Russian extremists supported by the US and UK. That is why only the US, UK, and France have taken hardlines opposing Russia so far with most countries not responding at all or just marginally condemning military action.

Ukraine has a strong ethnic Russian minority in many eastern regions they will find popular support through all of Southern Ukraine and could take almost everything east of the Dnieper almost with a fight as they have mobilized over 150,000 soldiers to Ukraine's current 145,000 with local support generally going to the Russians until you cross the Dnieper.
