Maybe you need to find a comparison that is even remotely similar to illustrate your point.
The Brit army trying to control a few hundred dissidents who were not afraid of the consequences of being caught bear no relation to someone deciding to start shooting at an armed force that has a history of wiping out opposition with total brutality.........as opposed to force feeding 'hunger strikers' in prison while allowing them to be the category of prisoner they wish to be, have parades, wear their own clothes and then later just let them off from their crimes.
Not quite the same as a visit from spetznas where a six inch rusty nail is hammered into your forehead to make the point that you were a naughty boy.
On a larger scale I'm sure you understand why no state is going to kick out the Russians either! Ivan walks quietly in Crimea but has a stick so big that no one in their right mind wants him to start using it (all IMHO)
That is not to say that a large amount of citizens from Crimea don't want to be part of Russia, but that the small amount of troops has no bearing here.
