John Mearsheimer was working with the facts he had available at the time, clearly. You even hint at that yourself. Seven years is a long time for change in a dynamic environment. One thing I am aware of: - Ukraine sealed the canal that delivered 85% of Crimea's fresh water supply, so it's been more costly to keep Crimea with each passing year. >I haven't seen where he has made any public statements since the invasion started. It's been five days, hardly enough time to gather information on the environment and put together a research paper on it. Also, a wrong conclusion does not mean the underlying research or thesis is wrong.
