Are you addressing the Onion or something before that?

The Onion article.  I'm getting kind of sick of hearing Obama and the Temp PM put their feet in their mouths about how Russia's undermining democracy in Ukraine.  A plebiscite is about as democratic as it gets, whether you like the results or not.

No.

After being occupied by an invading force, having it's autonomous government removed and replaced by one backed by 4% of the electorated a plebicite is held where the options are "yes" and "hell yes", where international election observers are denied access with virtually zero time available for campaigning with obvious harrassment of political opponents of the 4% regieme one can hardly call this plebicite "about as democratic as it gets".

I think you are taking DSB's words for more than he intended.  He was making a joke along the lines of the Onion article he referred to; he wasn't making a serious argument.

Showing a chart detailing how everyone was wrong if the unlikely event comes to pass doesn't make them stupid or prone to group think. Sometimes unexpected things happen.

Yeah. I mean 'only 5 percent (4) of the 87 Liberals and Constructivists who do not study international security, Russia or international organizations and law correctly predicted a military intervention.' So you mean people who don't study anything relevant got this wrong? How did the literary critics do?

I blame social 'scientists' who should accept they study humanities and stop being such knobs

a bit of dunning kruger there with uninformed idiots not knowing how uninformed they are, add to that the primacy of human nature over so called paradigmatic systems of analysis.

The reason why everybody but Palin failed to predict Putin's response is that Putin's response was not Russia's self-interest. That's not a problem for Palin because logic plays no part in her thought processes.

that's what  I said, but in palin's case she was just being random.

my confirmation bias alarm ticks with the failure of realism, but still, historical experiments are usually not this specific 

It was a crappy question.  Some respondents may well have thought it was asking if Russia would, in fact, militarily intervene to reverse the outcome of "the political crisis in Ukraine."  It has not.  If the question had been "Will Russian military forces take any actions at all in response to the political crisis in Ukraine?" I am willing to bet they'd have had a much larger positive response.  The Russian "military intervention" has thus far been as minute as it could possibly be and still be plausible as an intervention at all.

Who predicted Russia's military intervention?

I predicted this earlier on in this thread, so maybe it's just crazy people who know what other crazy people are going to do.
