Why Would You Tweet About Your Coup?

Surreal. One couldn&#x27;t make this stuff up.<p>I mean, if I were watching one of those brainless action movies late at night and a bunch of tough mercenaries paused to post a tweet about their secret plan to overthrow a government, I would think the plot had turned so unrealistic that I would have to stop watching. There&#x27;s a limit to how much one can suspend disbelief.<p>The thoughts on my mind now are:<p>Is this really <i>real</i>? Could it be a <i>hoax</i>? For humanity&#x27;s sake, let&#x27;s hope it&#x27;s a hoax. But apparently, yes, this is real, and no, it doesn&#x27;t seem to be a hoax.<p>So... <i>what, exactly,</i> were these people thinking?

I dunno. People read &quot;The Dogs of War&quot; and think &quot;I could do that. Hold my beer and watch this!&quot;

surreal beyond belief. well, would have been beyond belief pre-2018, or so, but who the hell knows anymore?

Successful couping seems to be a lost art.

This is simply not believable at face value. The author&#x27;s article history is a party-line, narrative-embraced point of view (Trump is ready to gamble with American Lives, Honor Labor by compensating it, Feminism should make you uncomfortable, et al). That doesn&#x27;t make her wrong obviously, but it indicates an inclination towards group-think I find untoward.<p>Regardless, even if the presented facts are &quot;true&quot; (whatever that means), there simply must be more to the story.
