If this was a country the west didn’t like, the western MSM would be fully of conspiracy theories about a military coup following a ‘disputed’ election and a president apparently being gagged and prevented from speaking to his citizens directly.
It does look very much like a colour revolution op direct from the CIA playbook. Only with American characteristics, where the ‘revolution’ was deliberately whipped up half baked, but allowed to create disturbing scenes to provide the justification for the deployment of military forces in the capital who are not loyal to the president.
Well I was also thinking how this would be played if in a country that the West did not like:
"... so with its Capital City under total Military lockdown, after regime lawmakers were forced to hide in terror,
when the people broke into the Parliament building to demand free and fair elections...."
".. we have tried to contact key dissident leaders, but their social media accounts have been deactivated and some pro democracy channels have been closed down entirely..."
It really does transcend satire!
