Vetfag here and I’ve been mulling what’s been going on.
In about a weeks time they have mobilized 25,000 troops and erected a fence around a very large area of DC, including the Capitol and surrounding area.
The sheer amount of logistics to pull this off and have the infrastructure in place, as well as the supplies needed, this was not thrown together in the last week. The miles of barricade fencing that just happened to be available on such short notice, etc.
It takes months of planning to pull off something of this size and magnitude. This was all planned for in advance.
Did anyone notice the road checkpoints? That construction guy chrcking in for work, he passed on of those road pop up barriers, creates an instant barrier on demand.
Those things are huge, and have to be cut into the road. How the freak did they get those in place so fast? Fencing, yeah, but those? How many of those were installed in a week?
