Worst. Coup d’etat. Ever.
Pedro Castillo was arrested by his own security detail, it’s kinda hard to beat this. Hotdog man didn’t even get within 200km of Moscow. You only get successful coups in Africa these days
lol hotdog man?
Evgeny Prigozhin started his career selling hotdogs, then become a caterer, then became a chef of Putin, then he founded PMC Wagner, tried to do a coup for dumbest reasons imaginable, then got killed by bomb attached to his private jet
you’re on ncd, you should know that
Thanks, I know the recent stuff. I wasn’t aware of the hotdogs and catering.
The lore is deep but fulfilling.
Much like the hotdogs and catering.
Biggest argument in favor of compulsory military service I’ve ever seen. The everyday citizen soldiers didn’t give a fuck about the coup, and weren’t willing to risk confrontation with their military trained fellow citizens for a wannabe dictator. It was a beautiful thing.
They sent tier 1 SOF and MP, but yeah even they didn’t want to be involved
When your coup hardly lasts longer than a video about how to coup a country.
Goddammit, did I sleep through another attempted coup?
This is like the 2016 Erdogan coup.
Idk there was at least some shooting going on. That blacked out attack helo fucked up some loyalist policemen in Ankara.
This was the epitome of “I’m doing just enough to not catch a court martial, but not enough to do anything”
I mean, at least that one had some kind of military support and an iota of planning. Seems like Yoon just had a bit of a breakdown, doesn’t seem like people in his own party even knew anything was happening.
South Korea may be a bit more conservative than other western democracies, but the people definitely aren’t afraid to hit the streets and fucking riot if needed. None but a few fucking weirdo new right people really want anything to do with dictatorships anymore.
