You don’t have to view it in a vacuum, you can simply view the event as increasing or decreasing the risk of the military takeover.

When the military was deployed then peacefully left, you still viewed that as an increase in the risk of a military takeover?

Even though the troops were withdrawn?

I’m just trying to understanding this upside down world where when something doesn’t happen it’s proof it’s more likely to happen in the future.

You must have also believed Russia was just training when it massed its forces on the Ukrainian border before the 2 days special military operation. Them being there increased the risk of take over even before the invasion started. The military take over won't happen until it happens, obviously. But now the Trump admin knows how minimal and pathetic the backlash is against their fascist actions.

Your analogy makes no sense.

The Marine entered AND LEFT Los Angelas. Russia never did that.

If you had said “while the Marines were deployed the risk is higher” it’s at least logical.

But the fact they left without incident yet you think it’s proof of the opposite outcome is hard to understand.

And yet here we are today with more troops deployed in more states. But sure keep burying your head in the sand.
