Germany Coup Attempt Foiled

[Deleted member 77746]

Wonder if that will start happening in the UK?

Nah I don't think it will the armed police response will put and end to it very quickly I would think.

Sigh

Keeping you mods on your toes. You know with it been crimbo soon it's going to get a little heated around here. Usually the mods causing the chaos though lol.

I doubt it would happen here. I've always thought Germany, a country I love and have a lot of friends in, a place of extremes. I mean there's been Nazism, and then far left terror groups (Baader Meinhoff/RAF etc) then far right again and yet it always comes across as calm and ordered.

Dammit, missed the Tony Edwards excitement

Anyway... when is the Hitler Parody of the attempted coup coming out?

Seems like quite a wild story, I doubt there was any real prospect of them overthrowing the government but yeah.

 

[CircleFaust]

Has Trump been blamed yet?

Even against a military as poorly equiped as Germany, you're still going to need 10,000 plus if you don't have political support. Even then, the country will carry on just fine and the occupied areas just surrounded. Most likely support would rush in form other EU countries.

Don't quote me on the exact number, but if memory serves, Hitler's Beer Hall Putsch very nearly succeeded with only around 600 Brownshirts.

Only needs 1 to start it, of course more means more chance to influence enough areas to make it more likely to succeed.

The question that follows is generally how the armed forces view it afterwards. The senior forces have the ability to make or break it. (Hence why most successful have generally already garnered support from the military)
If they support it (for whatever reason) then it will likely succeed.
If senior armed forces support it then it would require the rank and file to object who may be unaware of exactly whats going on anyway.

Does the siezure require military force though? Is there not a chance that the armed forces either don't intervene and its relatively peaceful? If that's the case surely it could be accomplished with very few people.

Excitement? He called out (well he had a dig at) one of the **** posters that the mods seem to hold on a pedestal.

The nutters that I support?

Tony, I know you're a bit slow at times but my positon is that those nutters were a bunch of LARPing idiots.

My MAGA hat is looking a bit worn out Dowie. Any chance I could borrow yours?
