I want to second your characterization: "Fifth Column of Right-Wingers." Thom's suggestion is no pipe dream, in terms of capability. I stay at Travis Air Force Base in CA on and off, and the way is there, if the will is there. Not only can the biggest generators in the world fit in those biggest cargo-jets, for starters, but they can have a nice tight little escort of protectors so that Putin can't even think about messing with delivery. Also endorsing your observation: "...no ethics, humanity, or decency...." The "Founding Fathers" simply could not imagine such conscienceless perfidy amongst men (of course, men) who would rise to public service. They shared a gentleman's code with much taken for granted.
