#1 Selfskies from the Crimea. A few weeks old now, but I don't see battle hardened veterans. Reluctant young conscripts possibly.

#3 More like short arms. Make sure they're ready for inspection.

#4 I support sending the entire US Congress by parachute into the Crimea ASAP, to drive the Russkis back into the Black Sea, or to die in the attempt.

#5 Splendid idea AH. Pre-dawn CARP at 400ft AGL. No reserve necessary. You survey the DZ and release point via Google map. Good enough for me.

#6 Sounds like a fine idea, AH & B. Though I'd add the executive branch, too (including Cabinet secretaries).

And since the DemocRats hold 2/3 of the branches of the gummint, they should all go in the first wave. (Second wave, RINOs.)

#8 Actually not a bad idea. History of partisan warfare, strong independent streak, and terrain+distances all favor irregulars - and so does the relative youth (enthusiasm always helps in starting things, and youth is too inexperienced to realize when they are too far in to get out, and will be stuck doing the hard things). It makes the Ukraine a very poisonous thing fork the bear to try to swallow up.
