2. Yes
They are placing traffic barricades around the square. You know, those one yard tall concrete walls we use on highways? Apparently, they are placing the barriers where they had tanks parked to block roads.

3. My fear is they are preparing to do a "kettle", as was done in Ireland.
And that the people in the Square are not noticing, thinking the Army is friendly.
