No one is saying that Putin didn't have reasons or that the situation was incomprehensible. It's quite obvious that Russia has things to gain by annexing Crimea, and things to lose by doing nothing in the wake of the revolution.
Just like Iraq had legitimate strategic and national security reasons to invade and annex Kuwait, or Indonesia on East Timor, or Morocco on the Western Sahara... It doesn't make it justifiable though.
