    This is why such a revolution doesn’t start from the masses, but from someone higher up who gives the command and then people follow them.

    If a lowly soldier disobeys, he’s removed. And grass-roots doesn’t work for that kind of stuff.

        That makes everything pretty difficult.

        What generally triggers military coups is that one of these higher-ups rebels when or after they are removed.

        But yeah, there’s a time window for that and it’s closing rapidly.

        There won’t be a rebellion by the people. There hardly can be one, without a rebellion by the military.
