Those were some pretty underwhelming mercenaries. You'd think princely folks could afford much better training.
No kidding. That is something that has stuck in my craw as the narrative of "The Insurrection" continues. That was a pitiful excuse of an insurrection. If taking over the Congress was the goal, why were they running around taking selfies and stealing podiums? Why was there only one dude with zip ties (which some reports say were picked up from a security station or guard, not even brought in), not a whole mess of armed and equipped revolutionaries? This "insurrection" makes CHAZ look like a professional operation.
Also, the people who want the US to collapse are sitting back laughing as Biden and the Democrats do it for them. China and Iraq being at the top of that list. I don't think Putin too worried about us interfering with his operations right now either.
