This is quite entertaining watching a member getting all high and mighty about a coup taking place half a way around the world.

He also conjure up some imaginary scenario why it justify western intervention because because.......

Somehow forgetting the very fact that most of the coup since WW2 is sponsored by the...... west! Lol.

I think the point is that if you only act when it spills into the international arena it's too late. For example, let's take a fictional state called Country A. The military of Country A stages a coup and replaces the civilian government. The international community does not take any action, and the military assumes it will be business as normal, so they do not negotiate or back down. Unfortunately things do not go well for the military, and after the bloody suppression of protests there is a civil war. Two things happen. First, before foreign nationals can be evacuated, some are killed and others taken hostage. Second, criminal gangs start operating over the border with neighbouring countries, which leads to civilians in those countries being killed.

Now if we replace Country A with Myanmar, and it's Chinese citizens who get killed through no fault of their own, what then? Yes, Beijing could seek justice, but it wouldn't bring the dead back to life.

I am not saying that scenario will happen, but waiting until domestic matters become international can be a really bad idea.
I think by your principle of "international community should intervene a coup", the world should intervene the hypothetical scenario of the failed coup in the US few weeks ago, including military, and most importantly the world intervention forces include China, Russia, Iran, Myanmar, Cuba, Turkey and all the South American and African countries who have received the "good" intervention from the west in their past.

Luckily for US, that coup did not succeed thanks for the clumsiness and half-heartedness of the "Capital Hill rioters", but I still expect you say it loudly and clearly that "I Mr T wholeheartedly welcome an international intervention in the case of a US disturbance of Democracy".

Principle applies universally to all. Failing to acknowledge that is hypocritical with a nasty secret agenda.

I wonder if this is why some former Western official wrote an anonymous article about confronting China. Is it because he or she didn't want to end up on China's blacklist. Thanks US for coming up with the idea of sanctioning individuals. Hypocrites can't complain about it.
