Invasion of the Crimean Peninsula

Here's a follow up to yesterday's entry featuring political scientist Kim Zisk, "Russian Invasion of Ukraine?"

I think we're past the question of whether Russia will invade now, although when Zisk was writing it was probably still just "paramilitary forces" who were "patrolling" the Crimean airports.

It's way beyond that. Zero Hedge tweeted this out from Contemporary Issues & Geography earlier:

Professor Zisk has an update, "Putin's Biggest Mistake: The Real Stakes of Intervening In Ukraine."
