this mf thinks we still have medieval walled cities, like dude, you can literally just… walk out of the city. I mean, yeah, you can indeed disrupt logistics, but there’s a pretty big gap between “trucks can’t get in to deliver supplies” and “entire population is trapped inside 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…
do an area study 
I have heard US infrastructure is terrible like this, with most cities only have one or two major ways out, but the key there is major. The major roads can get destroyed, but there are dozens and potentially hundreds of others. and if a road gets blocked, it could always…get cleared? Cities tend to have a lot of construction equipment around, or so I hear.
