Russia puts troops on alert
I would hardly call an occupation of an autonomous region of Ukraine, capturing the Ukrainian military bases and blocking their navy forces as "putting troops on alert".

to defend citizens who consider themselves to be Russian
If Mr Putin would like to defend citizens of... say... Scotland (an autonomous region of UK) who consider themselves to be Russian by deploying his army there would you still think that's OK?

region of the Ukraine that was part of Russia until Khrushchev changed it's borders in 1954
...and was part of Crimean Khanate for centuries before being annexed by Russian Empire in 1783? Maybe Germany should consider a full scale attack on Wrocław (former Breslau) and Szczecin (former Stettin), that were part of Germany until Stalin changed both German and Polish borders in 1944 and 1945? (Poland did lost Kresy then, with Lviv (Lwów) - Ukraine now, Brest (Brześć) - Belarus, Vilnus (Wilno) - Lithuania. Should we attack/occupy them all now reclaiming what's "ours")?

Wow. Just "Wow". You must be watching too much Russian TV, mate.
