A battle group has been sent into the Black Sea area....
As for tactical operations, do you understand the size and expanse of the US Armed Forces?
For all i know, we already have some boots on the ground. I'm sure operatives are already in Crimea (or have been for some time) collecting...

They will hold their...
The United States Air Force, Naval Arm is the best in the world. And the world's greatest military power.
