this mf thinks we still have medieval walled cities, like dude, you can literally just... walk out of the city.

Also railway transport isn't real I guess

also love the idea of completely destroying supply routes into the city with... backhoes and gravel. I guess city folk don't have any construction equipment of their own to clear and repair their roads. Also I guess the roads are just going to be conveniently completely empty for however many hours it takes you to block them, because, uh...

    In the Civil War, both the Union and the Confederacy went out into rural areas and easily crushed all resistance to the regimes in Washington and Richmond. It happened so quickly that barely any history book talks about it.
