"Ukraine: President Viktor Yanukovych says he was forced to flee due to threats; slams 'pro-fascist' forces" is the actual title.
Posting it to hacker news as "Russia invading Ukraine right now" is editorializing. (See the Guidelines.)

Editorializing or link bait? Either way it's a stretch.
So one President backs one gas pipeline deal, and the other President another deal. Russia has an interest in the latter.
Both stood to gain massive backhanders. The people of Ukraine have to suffer.
Does that summarize the core issues?

I do not like this turn of events. Not one little bit.
I don't either, but this is the way the world works. Exiting powers create a vacuum. Expect to see more of Russia and China asserting themselves on the world stage now that the United States is no longer a credible military power.
>now that the United States is no longer a credible military power.
It is hard to fathom such a level of confusion.

Care to explain? We just lost two wars, were embarrassed by Putin over the "red line" in Syria that turned out to be an empty threat, Iran is moving towards nuclear weapons, Hagel said a few days ago he wants to draw down the Army to pre-WWII levels, and now this with apparently no response from the US.

Politically, perhaps, but certainly not militarily. I.e., neither the Afghan Taliban nor Saddam Hussein's forces have the ability to mass forces or hold territory.

You actually believe that the US is not a credible military power? Maybe you wish that to be the case but you are outrageously confused. There is only one superpower currently.
I think this title is slightly sensationalist.
More than 10 Russian military helicopters also flew into Ukrainian airspace over the region on Friday, Kiev's border guard service said http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/02/28/us-ukraine-crisis-...
