From what i gathered of it, he genuinely thought he was doing it for the people but when quite literally everyone, including political opponents of the current regime, opposed his coup attempt, he did the smart thing and backed off.
https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1GjzU1CTZ5XvurqW/?mibextid=WC7FNe
local news, for those not cursed with talking spanish he's basically saying that the entire thing was meant to take attention away from the economic situation of the country. funny seeing everyone buying tons of groceries and taking as much money from ATMs as possible
I can translate
He says
Mr el Presidente.
I have put on my nicest jacket, and will not be turned away for supper for a 3rd night in a row.
Then. He is dismissed.
... arrested after they realized what he was trying to do. The mother fucker thought he could trick people instead of paying/buying them. The amount of autism is on par with me booting up HOI4 after a few Voodoo rangers.
That's actually pretty common for Coup get the soldiers that just follow orders to act as if they were in on it to bolster yourself. What you don't do is bring them to the main party then show weakness.
Reminder to everyone that [this is how to make a coup work](https://youtu.be/CVOnA69eX2I?si=54Pt_8RhS-vPqzD8). Clowns didnt even bother to take down and control the methods of communications and expected it to succeed
It's like the secret monkey paw. He takes over a general and attempts a coup but they all fail and the general in question will suddenly find himself freed from all of life's responsibilities within the following fiscal quarter.
They do , in fact the sheer amount of saints and martyrs usually flies over the head of common folk , but in Eastern Orthodox church calendar each day has some martyr and\\or saint associated with it .
Plus , knowing that Ru. Church canonised tsar Nicholas II (you know , the bitch boi who danced while crowds of people were getting stomped , and whose guards literally openned fire on demonstration that chanted and honoured his name) . I am sure that in a decade of madness , we will see saint Pringles .
There’s a whole Dnd campaign setting about this. It’s called Ravenloft and it’s based around a ton of Darklords perpetually reliving their own failures in life like this.
Seeing how this one was even less effective than Prigozhin's original coup, we can only assume his power wanes. In few years, the possessed general won't even have enough balls to ask for more sugar in his coffee.
Not being able to reach the last few chips, because the can is too narrow, so tipping it up to get them, only to have all the broken bits fall out and get everywhere?
According to Cline Center's data set, about 44% succeed, 35% are attempted, 21% don't make it out of the conspiracy stage
[https://databank.illinois.edu/datasets/IDB-8026876](https://databank.illinois.edu/datasets/IDB-8026876)
Yea, I'm sure there are plenty of times where everyone is like "You know what? This is a really fucking stupid idea that's going to get us killed" but it's hard to draw the line there. Me and my buddies could "plan a coup" at a bar, but these were at least plausible/developed enough to get attention.
Yeah, 50% sounds way too generous.
I would say about 70% of Coups that make it out of planning stages still fail, but the 30% that succeed are the ones that are remembered, due to selection bias.
Watching the game in the current era just isnt enjoyable. These yung bloods out here be clowning on the CIA now without appreciating when they were dropping 30 a night back when the KGB was strait up throwing elbows in the paint and the UN wasn't calling shit.
I mean sure, the homie is clearly washed now, but just if anything makes you respect the absolute work they were putting in in a more physical era of couping.
More credible answer:
Zuniga talked shit about the President on live TV last week and got dismissed last week. So today, with what seems to be only a very small group of plotters, none of which were in key positions a coup needs, he decided to go coup attempt.
From what I gather, most of the soldiers were just following orders and completely in the dark.
He confronted the President in the palace, let him shout at him to send the troops back to barracks and didn't arrest him.
President then got on air appealed to the country about the coup and take to the streets. Every latin american country to condemn it in record time. He appointed a new chief of the military that ordered all military back to their posts.
**It also sounds like Zuniga's own soliders arrested him once they heard it was a coup.**
My favorite part is that it seems like this lasted maybe 2 hours.
To be fair, the coup attempt in Turkey had the same issues. Soldiers deployed to close the bridges thought they were doing an excercise until an angry mob and police made it very clear they were acting on behalf of an attempt.
Bolivian General lauches coup attempt,
His forces succesfully march into the Government's Headquarters while the President is inside,
President goes to meet him and talks him out of the coup attempt,
He leaves.
Depends, if he is still alive in a year, he did better. Any coup attempt you survive is a good attempt.
Prongles had a cause, loyal troops, and some real fire power, and got talked out of it by fucking Lucuckshenko. I think Pringles still dominates the worst coup podium.
this is all because chef blyatardee fucked up his coup attempt.
now all the wanna be coup comitters think they can get away with it if they just pull the plug before finishing the thing.
How did me shitting my guts out at work today last longer than a fucking coup?
With how low effort it was I am shocked we can even meme about it without breaking the rules.
Now if only he had read the book of our sponsor: Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook Revised Edition! Now available on Amazon for only 20.95, and you too could become the military dictator of Bolivia!
Fun fact, in its 199 years of history as an independent country, Bolivia has had 35 coups counting both failed and successful, this is basically Tuesday for them
I FUCKING LOVE POLITICAL UPHEAVAL IN BOLIVIA. Every time I visit, some group or another is rioting, blocking roads, burning shit, or clashing with MPs. Last time it happened when the feds arrested the head of the opposition party, and his constituents went ape shit in the streets of Santa Cruz. Saved my ass from a week with a Tinder hookup who turned out to be psycho.

Flew the coup.
Man, if I had a dollar for every time someone did a pathetic attempt to overthrow a government I'd be annoyed as I live in the UK and it's like, five dollars, it's barely worth it to get it exchanged, add the fee it's like £3 left, and I spend that much just going to the bureau de change. Utter malarkey.
The summer coup of 2025 will last half a day. They'll see the government cafeteria opened up and go there. Then they close the cafeteria with them inside and they get reprimanded.
>-Im couping now. Means I rule. >-No. >-Oh, okay...
folded under the slightest amount of pressure, how the hell did he even get THAT far.
From what i gathered of it, he genuinely thought he was doing it for the people but when quite literally everyone, including political opponents of the current regime, opposed his coup attempt, he did the smart thing and backed off.

I would say the same thing to save face Uh uh the leader told me to. Uh uh! He's at faul yeah yah! He told me bro we gotta make me popular again uhhh.
That makes a lot of sense.
Sometimes just winging it takes you surprisingly far, I suppose
I just kept winging it, and it kept working
Until the president said no and I gave up.
I mean Pringles took Rostov on Don and when he realized he could take moscow only then did he go "wait is this really a good plan?"
That dude possibly had lived longer if he followed through xD
He looks like his mum still helps him dress..
Bro saw the low bar Pringles set and said, “limbo time”
He was arrested by his own soldiers. Like dude, this is coup 101.
... arrested after they realized what he was trying to do. The mother fucker thought he could trick people instead of paying/buying them. The amount of autism is on par with me booting up HOI4 after a few Voodoo rangers.
That's actually pretty common for Coup get the soldiers that just follow orders to act as if they were in on it to bolster yourself. What you don't do is bring them to the main party then show weakness.
he was arrested by his own Special Forces, who were standing with him while giving a press conference. The first fuckers you're supposed to buy.
Maybe he did and they still turned on him
This what totally a false flag, right? I’m never surprised by the depths of human stupidity but, like, c’mon.
> booting up HOI4 after a few Voodoo rangers Weekend plans confirmed.
mods never listen when I suggest we setup an NCD discord server and have a gaming section for HOI4, DEFCON, etc.
NCD ICBM.
I do have ICBM. Underrated game.
Wasn't there a hoi4 player who made some propaganda videos for Wagner? I think his name was Misha or something
Grisha He was pretty funny imo (on other peoples videos at least) before he embraced the ruzzia larp
He was also pretty funny when he started weeping upon learning about Pringles’ death.
Didn't he play with Bokoen and that crew?
Yeah he was the guy that asked “anybody want to play amongoos” after a game ended
Anyone got a link to a good breakdown? I'm way behind on this one.
Also the African Coup guys have way better drip. STEP UP YOUR GAME, AMIGO.
Reminder to everyone that [this is how to make a coup work](https://youtu.be/CVOnA69eX2I?si=54Pt_8RhS-vPqzD8). Clowns didnt even bother to take down and control the methods of communications and expected it to succeed
So that coup worked?
It didn't, elizabeth told them to fuck off
clubbed them to death with the septer
Nah, the IRA did that for mountbatten
first british astronaut
Just read Luttwak
Hey now he at least got to the administrative capital
Well, I’m pretty sure he started in the capital.
It was at least efficient at that stage of the plan.
He reached the administrative capital because no one knew what the fuck he was doing. Not even his soldiers.
He did down a helicopter though and conquered that one town I forgot the name of.
Rostov-on-Don. Largest city occupied by a russian army since 1979.
limbo????????? 🔑🔑 🔑🔑 🔑🔑 🔑🔑
Tf happened
Bolivian general launching a half-baked coup attempt. Because it's 2024 and apparently properly planned coups are just too fucking complicated now.
The curse of Pringles.
A couple days long of the 1 year aniversary. Kinda suspicious.
Damn just imagine the ghost of Pringles taking over some random general's body every 1 year anniversary and commiting a coup. That'd be hilarious.
It's like the secret monkey paw. He takes over a general and attempts a coup but they all fail and the general in question will suddenly find himself freed from all of life's responsibilities within the following fiscal quarter.
And the general’s death is always some final destination shit.
Sounds like an awesome movie premise. World wide dictators would probably buy several hundred thousand copies.
So Prigozhin is literally a Darklord from Ravenloft now. I love it.
Can somebody get HBO to pick this up?
Does Eastern Orthodoxy have saints? If so, you could make him a patron saint of shitty coups or something ?
They do , in fact the sheer amount of saints and martyrs usually flies over the head of common folk , but in Eastern Orthodox church calendar each day has some martyr and\\or saint associated with it . Plus , knowing that Ru. Church canonised tsar Nicholas II (you know , the bitch boi who danced while crowds of people were getting stomped , and whose guards literally openned fire on demonstration that chanted and honoured his name) . I am sure that in a decade of madness , we will see saint Pringles .
Someone write an SCP on this!
There’s a whole Dnd campaign setting about this. It’s called Ravenloft and it’s based around a ton of Darklords perpetually reliving their own failures in life like this.
What’d you think Prighozin’s domain be like and what’d be his one weakness? PS. Falknovia of older and newer version match him somewhat~
Seeing how this one was even less effective than Prigozhin's original coup, we can only assume his power wanes. In few years, the possessed general won't even have enough balls to ask for more sugar in his coffee.
Not being able to reach the last few chips, because the can is too narrow, so tipping it up to get them, only to have all the broken bits fall out and get everywhere?
What is this Pringles reference?
Prigozhin.
Oh I see. Thanks!
I bet he didn't even have a fitness dancer filming the whole thing. Amateurs.
Coups fail surprisingly often.
Remember kids, you fail at 100% of the coups you never start.
- Michael “Pringles” Scott
Coups have about a 50% success probably way less if you count those caught in the planning stages.
According to Cline Center's data set, about 44% succeed, 35% are attempted, 21% don't make it out of the conspiracy stage [https://databank.illinois.edu/datasets/IDB-8026876](https://databank.illinois.edu/datasets/IDB-8026876)
so if we keep trying, the success rate goes up. let’s sigma grinder this shit
It's time we finally took Madagascar down a peg.
I figure their is probably far more that don't make it out of the planning stages but just aren't reported on.
Yea, I'm sure there are plenty of times where everyone is like "You know what? This is a really fucking stupid idea that's going to get us killed" but it's hard to draw the line there. Me and my buddies could "plan a coup" at a bar, but these were at least plausible/developed enough to get attention.
Or when they're simply executed without any public announcement whatsoever. More authoritarian governments, if the planners aren't public figures..
And 100% of all successful ones are blamed on the CIA.
Well duh, people having dreams and ambitions is western propaganda. No one on the planet has agency except for the CIA.
Yeah, 50% sounds way too generous. I would say about 70% of Coups that make it out of planning stages still fail, but the 30% that succeed are the ones that are remembered, due to selection bias.
We also remember the funny fails.
Eh it’s like 50/50, would be more likely to success if you choose a former French colony
Yeah...Turkey
Guess anyone can coup now. Most liked reply decides where I coup. Note: I will fold as soon as I am told no or shown a single sign of resistance.
Let’s see what an Icelandic coup looks like.
It would be a big Thing.
Tonga
Bolivia has an average of one coup attempt every year or two.
It's been a tough 40 years
Calling it half baked is waaay too generous lmao
Watching the game in the current era just isnt enjoyable. These yung bloods out here be clowning on the CIA now without appreciating when they were dropping 30 a night back when the KGB was strait up throwing elbows in the paint and the UN wasn't calling shit. I mean sure, the homie is clearly washed now, but just if anything makes you respect the absolute work they were putting in in a more physical era of couping.

He seems to have severely overestimated his soldiers loyalty to him over country.
To be fair, the coup attempt in Turkey had the same issues. Soldiers deployed to close the bridges thought they were doing an excercise until an angry mob and police made it very clear they were acting on behalf of an attempt.
...erdogan is pleased with you
And so we all got stuck with the current Kurd murder.
He talked about about the former president Evo and said he wouldn't allow him to become president again. That's why he was dismissed
Lmfao nice
Ñ
Also a good act by the president to use it as good political pr
That's barely a coup, that's just some guy walking into the presidential palace.
Nothing. Nothing ever happens
Bolivian General lauches coup attempt, His forces succesfully march into the Government's Headquarters while the President is inside, President goes to meet him and talks him out of the coup attempt, He leaves.
Holy shit is this fallout new vegas?
Insert Lanius' departure quote
Ah i see Ill take a nothingburger then Keep the something sauce out please
Nothing
Ever
Happens
And I wonder
I wonder how? I wonder why?
If you know
Except that one time where that thing happened.
Bro is taking Prigozhin's title of Worst Coup Ever.
At least Pringles shot down a bunch of Russian aircraft and managed to control a large chunk of a city
The pringles coup, or "The one where they shot down an airborne C&C"
Depends, if he is still alive in a year, he did better. Any coup attempt you survive is a good attempt. Prongles had a cause, loyal troops, and some real fire power, and got talked out of it by fucking Lucuckshenko. I think Pringles still dominates the worst coup podium.
Did he have it or did Turkey?
That belongs to the Peruvian President. There is just no beating him.
Nothing ever happens gang rise up
Something sure would have happened if this General spent more than 4 days planning a coup.
*'Come back later, we're watching football.'*
“Excuse me guys, would you oh so very kindly allow me to have a turn at being president? My mommy said one day I could be president.”
Ok hear me out. What if Prigozhin is like the Harambe of coups and from now on the coups will get worse.
was not the old meme _"With this character's death, the thread of prophecy is severed."_ or something?
Not sure if that's a meme, but it was in divinity original sin
This might be the Neo Cold War, but Putin has jack shit in Money while the Biden is putting all his money creating Liberty Prime
Well I'm not getting my dick out for him.
How do you half ass a coup?
Ask pringles.
He’s currently…. occupied … unlike the kremlin.
You go to bed with a coup and wake up without a coup
You forget to check of your soldiers are loyal to you
"We could have done this coup by email" -one of his soldiers(probably)
this is all because chef blyatardee fucked up his coup attempt. now all the wanna be coup comitters think they can get away with it if they just pull the plug before finishing the thing.
I wouldn't say that getting shot down while on a plane is getting away with it.
he didn't know at the time he would be getting shot down in a plane. chef blyatardee genuienly thought he got away with it.
Which is pretty stupid considering your leader track record of assassinating your political enemies
yeah, i never claimed he was smart.
Ok, I can't be the only one who thought dude on the left was 95% neck.
i didnt realize he wasnt until i read this. thought he just had goiters or some shit
I know I thought that too...
"Boring ass coup, should have stayed home."
How did me shitting my guts out at work today last longer than a fucking coup? With how low effort it was I am shocked we can even meme about it without breaking the rules.
-100000 aura
Bros trying to make Wildlands a thing and forgot about 25 steps.
Plot for Wildlands 2? :D Anything would be better than the hot mess that was Breakpoint... :/
Thats what happen when CIA doesnt support a coup. Até this point we can create Pringles Coup Championship of worst coup attempts
Bolivian here who was like three streets down of la plaza murillo... yeah nothing ever happens
“Go back to your room” “but mooooooom”
At least Mishima had the balls to kill himself after the crowd boo'd him offstage.
Okay but in fairness he was probably rock hard at the thought of killing himself after a failed coup
''Does this scarf make me look fat?''
That is an extremely unfortunate scarf.
I Fucking knew Pringles was still alive!!!
Left photo makes it look like he has insane neck fat rolls
People make fun of Africa for being behind the curve, but they've kept to the old ways. They have a solid belt of successful coups.
I don't know man. Sudan turns into a shitshow after the coup.
Everywhere in Africa turns into a shit show after the coup. Then they have a whole ass new coup to fix that. Thus the cycle of life renews thru coups.
They will keep couping to recoup the previous coup losses
CBS is speculating that this might be a "Self Coup" as noncredable as that sounds
Dammit, I was going to make this exact meme.
Nah. That still belongs to Prigozhin. At least this clown made it to the palace.
But only to get told "No" and "You’re fired"
This dude started of in the city he was couping. Pringle had a far better mileage
Can I cross “coup somewhere” off of my ww3 bingo card or does the coup actually have to be successful?
Now if only he had read the book of our sponsor: Coup d'État: A Practical Handbook Revised Edition! Now available on Amazon for only 20.95, and you too could become the military dictator of Bolivia!
Skill issue.
*NOOB*
Gave my man the frowning of a lifetime, and he decided to turn heels and bail.
Fun fact, in its 199 years of history as an independent country, Bolivia has had 35 coups counting both failed and successful, this is basically Tuesday for them
Someone double check the pizza metter.
I thought that that… scarf (?) was his neck…
Why does bro have such a fat neck Edit: i may be high
Blud just has terrible fashion sense
I thought he had a quintuple chin for a moment
Dudes scarf should not be skin colored. Thought it was edited to make him look like he had 4 chins but nah he is just that dumb.
I FUCKING LOVE POLITICAL UPHEAVAL IN BOLIVIA. Every time I visit, some group or another is rioting, blocking roads, burning shit, or clashing with MPs. Last time it happened when the feds arrested the head of the opposition party, and his constituents went ape shit in the streets of Santa Cruz. Saved my ass from a week with a Tinder hookup who turned out to be psycho.
Since Jan 6th its really been shit for dudes attempting coups.
Eh, lets be fair, the yin that got done in Turkey a few years ago was even mair half arsed. At least these guys tried tae at least gank the president.
WHY HIS NECK UNCIRCUMCISED?????
👌👌👌 Is this the weirdest salute or what.
Bro forgot to tell them soldiers they doing a coup
Is this a thing now - regular worst coup competitions?
Someone forgot to watch the ordinary guide on how to coup any country
Bro looks like a worm
Wagner type shit
Definitely not me tryna figure out wtf happened with his neck
biggest let down since piggoswine
The guy has no neck!
Bro forgot to tell them soldiers they doing a coup

Pretty sure some African or Middle East general can start a better coup
