They simply didnt have enough bullets to kill everyone
If they made it through that door they wouldn’t be able to shoot fast enough
They would have been overran
History IS written by the winners
Yeah, but for the rioters that wasn’t really on their mind. What was on their mind was the shot bodies. Unless your life is on immrmrnt danger, i feel like the response for most people would be to run
But they’re painting the picture that they intended to kill everyone
If they really wanted to they could have
That and shooting at citizens that aren’t shooting back is a good way to get another world power to step in.
Lol we give 3rd world countries shit under the pretense that they’re not using riot shields and tear gas, its ironic.
American government would be fucked had they actually just started gunning people down
You don’t need a gun to kill someone though
They could have stomped them to death
In Somalia the people literally tore a helicopter pilot apart with thier hands
Because a bunch of boomers going in for a photo op and congressmen running for their bunkers in response is embarassing
If they can’t twist themselves into being the heros somehow whats the point
I wish I knew
Then again maybe I don’t
Exactly but we harass Syria under the same notion and cheered on the Ukraine coup.
The only difference between a popular revolution and an illegal armed coup is who’s peddling the news and wherever their interests lie.

I’m sorry I don’t see the parallels because I’m not familiar with those conflicts
Could you explain a bit more?
In Ukraine it didn’t matter who was sponsoring it or whatnot. People know the regime was corrupt and russia is always a thorn in their side. In the end I’m not sure if it was even a victory considering what followed, but they the situation ukraine is in. They are between a rock and a hard place so either they become Russian slaves or die trying. US obviously supports the cause to weaken/distract russia. Uneasy alliances

Could have is a big deap. Those people were there for a cause, but they were not desperate enough to kill other people. Maybe a few of them water, but not the masses. Once the armed guards would take care of a few leaders, the others would turn back and stop those besides them
The original Hillary timeline that Trump’s election threw a complete wrench into was to attack Syria. It was her entire platform. Throwing Syria into chaos gives all the cold war warhawks a much better position against Iran and Russia. Why do we need a position against Iran and Russia you ask? Well because we have to protect Israel’s interests (lol we actually don’t but don’t question the narrative got to keep that petrodollar up) and Israel and Iran are each funding their own terrorists group to create conflict within the other’s territory so there’s always some threat of destabilization.

I know that but the media and democrats are certain the rioters were out to kill them all
Not that I blame them btw
Because they very well could have
It’s the same as the Area 51 thing, if you go past a certain point, the government will use force. We’re all very lucky the Capitol police didn’t use more force than was necessary to get congress to safety. The rest of the free world might be shocked if it had gone differently but no, we wouldn’t intervene.
Trying to treat it as any other protest is very foolish, they were chanting that they were going to hang Mike Pence. You do realize the vice president’s secret service detail would have defended him with their lives and they would have done so using deadly force for as long as possible.
Yup, they’re sheet scared
True
But if you’ve seen the movie 300 you would know how it would end
Again if that was truly the entire crowds intent
No one cares canada you aren’t proactive. Your world power status directly rides off of ours lol. A government blasting away at protesters is a perfect opportunity for another country to roll in and seize the opportunity while the iron is hot. We do the same thing to other countries when its in our interests. There is no safety net.
I’m not so sure about that @Slasher_Clone
China has its claws in The great white north as well
The World is corrupted beyond comprehension
The government wouldn’t have been defeated so easily, there’s even a bad tv show about how it would continue to operate even in the event of a tragedy of the highest level.
Biden would have just gotten in office faster. China hasn’t won control of the world yet.
China has a pretty good grip on world economy as they export so much and I’m sure that holds much political weight. I wonder what will happen if they start running out of raw materials though
