In reply to the discussion: Trump: "Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran" [View all]DetroitLegalBeagle
(2,406 posts)37. Triggering an evacuation of a city is a tactic to further destabilize
An already destabilized government. Particularly when it's a capital. It clogs the roads which makes defensive maneuvers difficult. It depletes food and fuel in the city. And it pulls soldiers and government officials away when they decide its more important to try to save their families vs trying to defend a government already beginning to crack and crumble. This adds additional paralysis to government and military functions as people along the chains of command go missing or are unable to reach command centers due to the roads being jammed with panicked civilians and abandoned vehicles.
Thats said, there is zero fucking chance he knows this. He's likely just repeating what someone else told him to say.
