True enough, it's already much worse than Georgia. What made me scoff at the idea of a full scale invasion initially was that the Russians really don't seem to have assembled the numbers to occupy a country the size of Ukraine. So either the talk about a military coup is more than just bluffing, they got even more high on their own supply than the Americans when they attacked Iraq or they are willing to offer terms to the current government.
Hopefully it's the latter:
