The Secret Service has designated a “Green Zone” in central Washington as part of its security efforts ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, a move that sparked comparisons to the highly fortified swath of Baghdad that came to symbolize America’s struggles in Iraq.
In a news release issued Thursday, the agency laid out road closures, public transportation disruptions and other restrictions affecting Washington, D.C., surrounding the Jan. 20 swearing-in ceremony. It identified a ‘Red Zone’ where during a six-day period only cars with special permits can enter, and a separate ‘Green Zone’ into which only permitted vehicles or residents or businesses who can verify their links to the area can pass.
Authorities are scrambling to intensify security, erecting metal and concrete barriers and deploying thousands of National Guard and other security forces, to prevent a repeat of the deadly Jan. 6 riot by a pro-Trump mob at the Capitol. But for some Washingtonians, the use of ‘Green Zone’ heightened the sense of the surreal in the elaborate fortifications and deployments descending on the heart of the nation’s capital.
By this weekend there will be more National Guard troops on duty in Washington than there are troops serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria combined. The term ‘Green Zone’ became widely known in the years following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, when American officials remained sealed behind high concrete blast walls and tightly guarded checkpoints in a central area of Baghdad while a bloody sectarian war unfolded outside.

Hi.
Hey Bezos and Little Pinch. How about deploying the 82nd and 101st for TDY. They could use some RnR.
Lots of whores in DC. “Love you long time GI...five dollars.”

Like a condom keeps things in also
All a smoke and mirror operation to distract from the spectacle of close to ZERO people attending the inauguration of the guy who supposedly won 80 MILLION votes. They’ll blame that on COVID and the possibility of a Trump inspired riot. The media will fume about how Trump denied NPC “Biden” his day in the sun. NPC “Biden” will give his “inaugural address” inside the Capitol building to mostly congressmen and their 1 or 2 guests. Relatively few will be outside watching on the jumbotrons. The entire inauguration will be mostly online.
20,000 troops,barricades, green zone, Tienanmen Square.

Well this is certainly not Orwellian totalitarian in the least.
I guess it gives the national guard something to do. Helping to pass out vaccines might be a better use of time.
Come on Kim...do us a solid...
I don’t know. Biden is probably the ChiCom’s bigger buddy than Kim. OTOH, I was thinking what a target-rich environment DC will be and as long as PDJT is not there... OK.
Well, I just hope 50,000 to 18 is good enough odds for them.
I expect to see a red flag with gold stars within the first 100 weeks.
If the NG troops are under the command of Miller and President Trump, then why are they there? Who ordered this? Did President Trump order this? The Acting SecDef? Is this being ordered by the governors?
Real life Cobra.
Biden is so popular that he needs a two mile cordon around him in order to step outside the White House.
Hunter Biden got one of those DC stripper/wh*res pregnant, then he refused to take a paternity test.
Apparently Hunter hung out at the really seedy strip joints/brothels in D.C.—you know, the kind that have strippers who are pregnant. He did this while he was married, and also when he was married and having an affair with his brother’s widow.
“My son has never done anything wrong! He’s the smartest man I know!” LMAO LMAO
So IF biden gets sworn in and becomes the puppet president, how long do you think the green zone will stay in place?
My guess: 4 years.
I’m convinced that this is political theatre intended to portray Trump supporters as a seething throng of wild gunmen.
The sad part is they use soldiers which their own votes where stolen to protect them
The general public should be kept away while the proper authorities finally deal with decades of corruption. We don’t do French Revolutions here. Law and order is what we do.
