There was also a siege of Sevastopol in WWII as well as in the Crimean War.
Alexander Zaldostanov, nicknamed "the Surgeon," has mounted his hog along with his brother Night Wolves to roll through the Crimea to Sevastapol.
So Putin is getting a motor cycle gang to do his work for him?
Maybe it was not a good idea to push the "macho shirtless Putin" meme so aggressively.
1) oust the current regime in Washington DC
2) get the economy back on right footing by HUGE CUTS IN GOVERNMENT AND TAXES and letting the free market do what it does best: CREATE WEALTH,
2) Build the military back up once again to the world's strongest (weakness not strength invites war), 3) take down the NSA and other threats to American citizens
4) build up our intelligence community to make it first rate
Whatever aggressor-country hotspots including the Ukraine are relevant after 1-4 is done...
5) with good and verified intelligence, we should covertly work with the forces of freedom in the threatened country. In the case of the Ukraine if its still relevant, discern whether eastern Ukraine wants to join Russia and whether western Ukraine does not,
6) THEN, with actual and overwhelming force at our disposal, we should condemn the aggressor (Russia in this case) for threatening to invade the threatened country (Ukraine in this case) and move forces into the area with full intention of defending those that want to remain free.
7) we should seek diplomacy with the aggressor nation on the basis of our strength not weakness and any treaties or agreements should be based on trust but verify.
