The gunmen came from air, sea and land. They shot at civilians, took hostages and forced families to barricade themselves indoors, fearing for their lives.
Protecting the US from itself is an issue distinctly for civilian agencies… and it wasn’t that none of them failed to foresee issues… it’s that they can’t act before a crime has been committed and the capitol police were denied reinforcements.
… and it’s really that last part that’s the crux of the issue… if capital police had been given reinforcements, there never would’ve been a Jan 6th.
Yup, Ttere was a lot of chatter on how trump’s protest rally could easily turn violent. We’ve been slowly getting info since then that basically trump or a lackey had to give permission to send in the national guard.
We knew that day of. I was watching that live the day that it happened and they repeatedly said that they were waiting on approval from the Whitehouse IIRC both for the capital police and for activation of the DC national guard.
Except the Iron Dome has been active 24/7 for years and is arguably the most effective ground-based aerial defense system in the world.
Please understand that I’m not endorsing any conspiracies. I’m genuinely curious what happened. Right now my best informed hypothesis is that the sheer number of rockets launched managed to overwhelm the system.
If anyone has better information I would greatly appreciate hearing it.
The missile attack was pure saturation. So many objects in the air at once is just too much for the few launchers available. There’s only like 7 of them actually online at any given time. They cost a billion dollars each.
They waited for a day everyone wants to be home, did a massive attack to send everyone into hiding, and then breached the gates. It’s such a massive power move that no one thought they’d be stupid enough to do. Yes, it succeeded, but they can’t win, and the response now will be tenfold more powerful. And justified.
Is it even arguable? What else would come close?
My assumption is the same, stock up and then throw everything you have blitzkrieg style in an effort to oversaturated it.
nobody in the entire US military saw Jan 6 coming either

Several forms of conspiracy are crimes.

Thank you for the additional information
And somehow nobody thought it would happen on the 50th anniversary of the yom kippur war, to the day

The US military was more prepared for the Area 51 raid
Plenty of military people saw it coming. They were prevented from acting on it by the same powers that were commiting the crime
