Sorry, not that well-versed in the ecosystem here yet. What could my username have meant?

I don't support him, if that's what you're asking. I'm just curious about sociology and politics. :)

Couldn't that have been just because of the immediate confusion and indecision about escalating by the lower unit commanders?

There could have been infighting in the military, but he surely would have had quite some support, no? Why not take the chance if he already commited to imposing martial law?

Edit: sorry if it came across like I support the guy. I don't. I'm just interested in sociology and politics. If you downvote me, could you explain what I'm getting wrong?

From what I understand, the military high command supported Yoon even after the assembly voted down martial law. If that's true, didn't he have everything to go through with the coup?

Resurgence of chauvinist parties?

Nah, I'm not a big party person, I wouldn't know

Why is it getting downvoted? It's pretty funny

I was hoping that if somehow, somehow Orbán was gotten rid of in my country, the EU would be free of this plague. Now not even that would solve it.

So instead everyone should just surrender to Putin to avoid violence?

Every day he lives is another day full of hope that he dies soon. I'm a "glass still has a few drops" sort of guy.

Does the vice-president-elect get inaugurated as president if the president-elect dies before that day?

Read section 3: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-20/

short answer: yes

Similarly to how we have it here in Hungary :(

Apart from the very close one, there was also the guy hiding around Trump's golf club with a gun.

Yeah, but it would make my day, at least. Also, I think he would have less support than Trump.
