I am completely pessimistic that any substantive learning will come from this entire mess. It's already political; any results will either be massively and inappropriately influenced by politics, and/or valid results will just be scoffed at by one side or the other, depending on the result.
I have no faith in major world powers to not use this as a continued power grab and cynical boost to their voting base.

Conservatives felt their rights were violated so hard, they passed a resolution inviting neighbouring countries to intervene and another one for the army to stand down. Mere 200 years later all political options agree that was not very bright of them. Just give it some time.
