In Donbass the sentiment for the insurgency was clearly existing, these regions were different culturally and they really wanted to follow Crimea suit and escape from increasingly unstable and nationalist Ukraine. I agree that means for the insurgency were supplied from Russia, and that these regions would probably not take the bait did they know that the Russia will abandon them hanging in the limbo instead of Crimea scenario. The justification for Libya was really crappy and for Afghanistan it was nonexistent so the difference is moot anyway. Large countries use force, that's that.
