Though I have to agree to you in the point that there are lots (really lots) of things wrong in the west, I'm pretty sure that Russia is not protecting the Ukraine respectively Crimea peninsula from "falling into the hands of the west" but trying to reannex it since it has been part of the Soviet Union before and the majority of its inhabitants are russian or have russian ancestors. Crimea has an autonomous government which is pro-russian and would probably approve a reunion with Russia. Nevertheless Russian forces (and Ukrainian pro-russian separatists) have gained control over Ukraine's territory without its permission and have furthermore installed heavy war machinery around its boundaries what basically makes it an invasion. So, please, educate YOURSELF.
