[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tbh, who doesn’t dream of taking over a 3rd world country and be its petty dictator? [/quote]
Only a fool would believe that this would be possible in a country as massive and complicated like the Congo.

It sounds like the coup leader was actually a delusional egomaniac that probably should have gone to therapy. [/quote]
Fair. What country is your go-to in grand strategy coup domination?[/quote]
Small, poorly governed countries with resource wealth are the obvious targets: Guyana, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Brunei. But you need an insider as the titular leader or else you won’t have legitimacy. A lot of coups fail because it’s relatively easy to take over the Presidential Palace but what next? You cannot hole up in there indefinitely if no one will follow your orders. [/quote]

The easier it is for you to coup, the easier it is for you to get couped. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Coupntry. [/quote]
