    Fun fact, I’m actually in one of the few countries they thought of couping, that they didn’t. Portugal in 1974 had a military staged coup against the dictatorship that ruled back then. It looked a lot like we were going to turn red, and Kissinger even said “let them be, it’ll remind Europe why communism doesn’t work”. Long story short, after a few nationalisations, an attempted coup by radical left, and some general weirdness, we managed to get ourselves a mostly working republic that still lasts to this day
