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.
Devils Advocate: Could have had them ready for riots around the country all 2020?
But I agree with you
Possible, it’s the amount of fencing though. That’s miles and miles of fencing.
Not to mention the concrete barriers, razor wire, gated checkpoints, etc.
You are correct. Something this scale is not just thrown together in one week.
