I agree with you. She was laying out a best case scenario. One that can come close to a reset. That likely won't happen.

As she points out, the Crimea isn't a trouble-free area for Russia. The Soviet era infrastructure I didn't consider, but the ethnic problems, like but not restricted to the Tatars, are likely to be an ongoing source of problems. Given the global repercussions of Russia's actions, there are going to be a lot of countries who will be cross at Russia. Which will have a negative impact on the country. Today's Russia is not the USSR of old, with few ties to the rest of the world.

Lets just say that if the Russians hadn't deported 300K Tartars under Stalin, they would not have the majority in Crimea that they do. And yeah, I hope this turns out to be a real problem for them going forward.

This is going to haunt them for a long time.

Even so, I am very disappointed with the West's response. An asshole like Putin should not be allowed to get away with his dick moves.
