Well, not minor in impact, but a detail that could end up getting overlooked in light of more stressful details coming out...
A massively engineered attack of vicious corruption and subtlety on the US Capitol was repelled in a matter of just hours by a small group of greatly outnumbered, outmaneuvered, and betrayed --civilian-- forces who kept their faith and duty intact in the face of what had to have been a more horrifying moment of sudden shock and terror than anything they could have ever imagined, and with no centralized command to inform, direct, or support them through the course of it.
In addition to recognizing the honor and bravery of their service, this also means two things:
1: God hasn't given up on our country yet.
2: Our Executive branch is a convenience, not a necessity.
For godless authoritarians like Putin and Xi who believe forcefully centralized power is the only way to strength, confronting this reality which should not even be able to exist within their worldview must be abjectly terrifying as a grave miscalculation on their part.
