Yeah, seriously, what's up with that? They've already dropped 15k troops on the capitol, the heck do they need a couple hundred here and there from THAT far out?
Not the first one I've heard of; I can't remember the page I saw it on, but they've called up 200 more from another 'nowhere near DC" state.
I mean, really?
Is it worth it for them to transport that few troops that far?
What, are they planning some sort of lame "all 50 states represented to show support for Team Biden" optics stunt?
Wait, I better not laugh yet, I can already hear the news reporters commentating on that...
Exactly who the heck are they planning to go to war with? I mean, Geez, if they can't lock down the capitol grounds and inauguration street-walk area with 15k + local PD, what does upping it to 20k solve?
And if they ARE so afraid that someone might 'do something' violent, like, have they ever heard of 'guerrilla warfare'? Don't they realize there's a point of pointless saturation if they're likely going to end up dealing with some sort of random lone actor, not some ridiculous soviet-style human wave Trump attack?
This is the dumbest show of force I've seen...
Remember the 'white house siege' a few months back? A couple dudes making the rounds with big-ass sniper rifles was enough to get the job done. And that was vs. people who might ACTUALLY have tried to burn the place down or something (given their rhetoric to same), vs. people who nearly revere the military, and would be loathe to engage them even if shit really was kicking off...
I don't get it.
The only thing I can think of that makes ANY sense is A) our dear leaders are bitches with way thinner skin than expected, and SOMEONE among them is panicking HARD, or B) they think this makes them look strong somehow. But as they say, "if you have to say 'I am king'...", C) they are deliberately drawing NG bodies away from areas all over the US because they are planning something worse.
I very much get the vibe that this is a "do something obvious with one hand while the other does something behind your back" thing. I haven't seen such a blatantly obvious top to bottom media and government spin on any event since Charlottesville.
