Precautions against a military coup?
 

Many countries closely connected to the US have witnessed military coups in the last few years (e.g: Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt), the coup of Turkey failed as you may know.


I am not buying the story that thousands of security personnel including federal prison guards have been sent to Washington DC to deter possible protesters. I think someone is taking precautions against a possible military coup that may have taken place already.


I have a feeling that we are about to witness something really big :croc:

You dont half come up with some silly suggestions

Have you seen videos of DC lately? That area looks like a military base as of right now :cheer:

The US military would not stage one unless some politician rallied them,as in other countries,Trump would have a better chance if he did that.
It is not going to happen,but for those 78 millions who voted for Trump,they are not going away,not yet.

After what happens not long ago and with the 20th coming up its not exactly surprising. That doesn't mean its a coup though does it

I have no idea, all we can do right now is wait and see :pop2:

Trump couldn't even get his followers to riot correctly.. he's not going to form a military coup at the last minute.

I do find it odd so many troops are being stationed around the capital but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry for the Biden inauguration.

More personnel there than in Iraq or Afghanistan apparently

Didn't you start that controversial thread that saw mikexyz losing $$ in a bet? :lol:
You seem like you'd love front row seat should things go south.

This is not a third world country where you wake up one morning and turn on the radio,some junta has overtaken the capital,the president and now they are running the country.
Civilians dont have arms-guns,bombs,tankers,airplanes,also food will run out too.
also civilians have family,mortgage,student loan,credit card loan,job,pension.

We still need to figure out the specifics of getting the McChicken sandwiches to those who signed up for them.
For you its easy - just deduct the amount from what youre sending me.
Maybe you can send a small amount to those who signed up for it? Don't think there were a lot of people who signed up - guess not many had faith in me winning lol.

The coup theory turned out to be bull$hit, Trump is about to sign 100 pardons before he leaves office. I wonder how much money was cashed off these pardons!!

Or (me included), don't care about getting a free Mc'sandwich.

:rolleyes:

Re: Precautions against a military coup?
 

McDonalds is so bad for you.... why don't you bet for something else?

Re: Precautions against a military coup?
 

Wasn't my idea.
But it wasn't realy about the McChicken sandwich - it was more a point of principal and making fun of certain delusions.
