Now it's beginning to make some sense.
Now we understand why we're getting more than one answer from Iran... And why those answers don't always agree with each other.


This type of military takeover often precedes the total collapse of a regime.

In which cases that have happened before, has this type of military take over preceded the collapse of a regime?

LOL....Someone's memory is as long as their pecker. :laughing0301:



The Collapse Of The Soviet Union​

On August 18, 1991, Mikhail Gorbachev was confronted by five men at his vacation home in Foros, Crimea. Valery Boldin, his chief of staff; Oleg Baklanov, first deputy chairman of the U.S.S.R. defense council; Oleg Shenin, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union; General Valentin Varennikov, chief of the Soviet Army's ground forces; and KGB General Yury Plekhanov demanded that Gorbachev give up power.

According to Encylopedia Britannica, the Communist leaders wanted Gorbachev to transfer power to his vice president. But Gorbachev refused. Though the would-be usurpers cut his phone line and placed Gorbachev under house arrest, the Soviet leader was able to get a message out.

Thus, when the coup leaders announced that Gorbachev was being imprisoned because of his ill health, many knew that it was a ruse. And when tanks rolled into Moscow, they were met by protestors.

Over the next three days, the world's eye fell upon Moscow. Protestors marched through the streets, the coup leaders attempted to solidify power, and Boris Yeltsin, the president of Russia, made a dramatic speech atop a tank condemning the coup leaders as traitors and criminals.
 
If this guy is still alive a week from now it will be because he is hiding in a cave.
