who do you think would do it and why?

    The problem is that I don’t think any of the countries with the economic means to support a coup have any interest in doing so, and the small list of countries that would support another U.S. coup do not have the economic means to do so.

    Ownership should revert to the UK. The founders experiment failed, so just re-establish the previous situation.

    It could be argued that another country has already staged a coup, russia was pretty successful in its endeavour to install trump.

    What if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed keeps trump because he is a useful idiot.

    Russia, mostly.

    The only countries capable of doing that are already getting exactly what they want

          This has likely been brewing since cold war. Didnt some soviet leader basically gloat how they will destroy usa from within? soviet union has basically won the cold war now, even worse than if they had conquered usa with military.

          Something like this also cant be managed just from outside. Ones in power now are traitors.

    With all their experience, the CIA should brew one up right now, the country could use it. Just for one in your life, though, try not to install another dictator, install an actual democratic government, as this country really never has had one

    Only way that would happen is if the military lets it.

    Is there any country the military trusts more than the current president?

    Hmmmm… Canada would be my closest guess.

      Yea Canada would be the only one to even remotely manage that, and that’s taking the gamble that the US doesn’t launch a nuke before it finishes.

      Being said it would need to be the military, I don’t think the average citizen would stop something like that. Especially if the invaders were another democratic leaning country. The only way I think you get civilians to fight is if it ends up being a communist country that tries to invade. The relational ties with Canada are pretty strong, many people have friends who are Canadian, and it’s so unlike Canada that I don’t think many would believe it was actually them if it was done.

      Hell we’re talking a country that basically shrugged and said “oh well they deserved it” when someone shot a healthcare CEO, I can’t see anyone batting much of an eye if someone deposed the sitting officials, especially the head of the country, at least in it’s current state.

      Being said though… if something like that did happen, I don’t think it will be from a foreign government, I think it would be domestic. Not that it makes it any better.

    A foreign country can’t stage a coup, only foment one. If your looking for expertise, there are a bunch of CIA guys about to be unemployed.

    Based on recent events, I’d say South Africa. Because the afrikaners are still bitter about our role in ending their apartheid state, and a significant portion of the United States is racist enough to encourage it to happen.

    if someone would do it:

    Cuba. Or Iran. Or a Palestinian faction.

    Why:

    • Trump’s government openly hates Cuba and has reversed Obama/Biden-era openness to Cuba.

    • Trump had Iran’s most important foreign military leader assassinated, he is close with Iran’s regional rivals and supports Iran’s biggest enemy Israel.

    • Why a palestinian faction would try to do is doesn’t need to be explained, I guess.

    Trump is a symptom of a corrupt system. Removing him is like treating cancer with a bandaid. The entire system must be challenged and overthrown, which includes Democrats and Republicans alike.

    Everyone in the comments mentioning Russia as if Israel isn’t the largest threat to us.

    LOL

    Ain’t happening.

    conservative 2nd amendment gun nuts will storm the capital and restore trump (or if he’s dead, another Magat), most of the military voted trump, dude has full support. There ain’t no “coup”, you are describing an invasion/rebellion.
