The US is too big for a coup. This isn’t like France or Germany where an army that can lock down Paris or Berlin controls the country.

In order for a coup to be successful here you would need a whole lot of planning and a whole lot of folks involved and with a lot of folks involved it could never be kept a secret and therefore it would not be a successful coup. Divide and conquer. That’s what the Soviets were doing and that it what the communists and useful idiots are doing now.

The chance of a military coup in the US is zilch. Not for size but the stress is not there. We have, despite the Clinton and Obama, a stable government that recognizes the transition of power. Sadly, though, if there were a coup, I wounder how many Americans would just yawn and ignore it?

And some folks forget, there are probably 10x or more trained military veterans on the streets than exists in all services.☺

What’s a coup? Is that one of those big movie premieres or something?

Yeah...I don’t go to those.

I’ll just be hanging out on a rooftop somewhere. Listening to cool jazz.
