2. Yeah, well. Military coups don't always work out well for the people.

We'll see how this goes.

3. It's not a military coup.

It's a popular uprising analogous to fall of Soviet Union. But, yes, it may not turn out well. It could go lots of ways.

4. Several DU threads are quoting calls for help from the military.

That was my point.

5. Yes. I understand.

It's a popular citizens uprising with the backing of the military, apparently, based on what I am aware of. Remember that the Soviet/Yeltsin uprising was a response TO an attempted military coup (if I recall correctly.)
