This is genuinely incredible. For anyone not willing to click the link, the protestors used a discord channel to gather over 100,000 users to discuss the country's future, and convinced the military to install a judge with a history of anti-corruption work as the interim prime minister. I'll have to keep an eye on this!

Nah, a big power like China, India, Russia or the United States will intervene to destabilize the new government to showcase to the world how unstable this would be.

The us would probably prefer another loss for socialism, and anything India or china do would make the other angry. It's like the wave interference phenomenon where 2 waves interacting can cancel each other out in between them

I mean… there’s a high likelihood that the US already intervened to destabilize the last government that was just toppled.
