It's significant yes, but it's not a new phenomenom.
It's "the Capitol" to you, it's "The US Capitol Building" to the rest of the world.
Is it newsworthy? Absolutely! But it's not a new phenomenon on a global scale, and it's very US centric to claim otherwise.
"First time major thing happens to <country>" happens all the time globally, but only when it's the US that it goes from off-topic to allowed content here.
And that's OK, it's their news site, they set the rules, but it uis jarring to come on here and find essentially general news content and commentary.
