Worst case senario is that someone comes back from the future and gives them a bunch of uber tech...
Some maverick captain takes a broken down rust bucket around the sun and brings back whales from the past. Somehow this saves the Earth and also takes said captain's head off the chopping block.

hmmm...

What could be taken from 20th Century Earth to make the Borg run back to mama? :P

Doubt it, they'd just do something stupid and the UFP would somehow unite the whole AQ against them and win by cannon fodder.

We could give the Borg Spears or Lohans to assimilate, would probably crash the whole hive mind.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

I don't know if I'd have the stomach to do that, even to the Borg.

The old "Spears, Lohan and Cardashian families in a runabout" trick, eh? I think Picard and co. would've vomited in their mouths faced with that option.

Maybe so, but you'd just be replacing it with something even more horrifying.
