Like the Texans defending the Alamo, Ukrainian sailors are defending their ships from the surrounding Russian warships. Like Santa Anna, the Russians pretending to be Russian-Ukrainians expected the Crimea to rise up in revolt against the new Ukrainian government.
The Russians had good reason to expect the Ukrainian forces to surrender, as they had bribed some of the Ukrainian commanders to surrender. The Ukrainian soldiers and sailors reacted like the defenders of the Alamo. They held on to their ships and some of their bases and refused to submit to what everyone knows is Russian special forces.
Santa Anna marched into Texas expecting the Mexicans in Texas to rise up and join him. Instead, the brave men in the Alamo held Santa Anna in place until the Texas army could get into position to defeat Santa Anna.
I have said over and over again that OUTSIDE AGITATORS CAN NOT START A REVOLUTION.
I hope the situation in the Ukraine remains peaceful. But we all know that brave Ukrainian men and women are risking death by daring to try for a better life for themselves and their children.
