81. It's about an attempted coup

Sat Aug 5, 2023, 09:28 PM

Aug 2023

In every other country that I know of, anyone who attempts a coup and fails suffers one of three fates.

1. Execution. Sometimes on the spot.
2. Jail. For a long time.
3. Exile. Tossed out of the country and never allowed to return.

I'm a big fan of #1 because it ensures that least the person who is executed will not try it again.

#2 and #3 are okay because in prison or in exile, a hit can be arranged.
