If you want, you can do it in less than 2500 feet according to Lockheed: https://www.lockheedmartin.com/content/dam/lockheed-martin/aero/documents/C-130J/C130JPocketGuide.pdf
But if you are crazy enough, you can do even better: Throwback: When The US Navy Landed A Lockheed C-130 Hercules On An...
Under the US Constitution, admission of a state can be done by simple majority vote by Congress.
The problem with getting states admitted in the recent past hasn't been a Constitutional obstacle, but partisan fears that a new state will upset the balance between the two major parties. This is a...

Provinces have complete control over municipalities. They can amalgamate cities (think Toronto), shift town/city/county limits, force changes to the composition of municipal governments (again, Toronto) and they can do it without their consent.

Clausewitz' view was that military action exists as a subset of the larger field of political activity. A war is only undertaken to secure certain objectives. The war is won when you are able to exit the war having achieved your objectives for going to war in the first place. His point about the...
