i think it's a pretty amazing achievement in terms of peace that the americans that are freaked out by the capitol riot are treating it as a full blown armed insurrection.
they have no idea what a battle is, what constitutes war, or what a real attack on a city or position entails.
their response is laughable, but ultimately it's a real achievement for humans that so many people are out of touch with actual battle, actual war, actual combat, that smashing windows and stealing laptops counts.
