It's certainly funny after the fact but how could she, or anyone else, tell it was a military coup?

It looks like some military vehicles politely entering a government complex at a rather brisk pace. Maybe an official wanted a joyride in the latest troop carrier thingy?

It's not ignorance if there's no way you can tell something is up !

Certainly Jan 6th mayhem at the US capitol looked more like "a coup", and the rioters involved probably thought it was going their way for a couple of hours, yet in the end it was nothing but a humiliation for a bunch of angry hillbillies and conspiracy theorists. The military in Myanmar certainly knew where to go and what to do.

Perhaps the aerobics video is more like a picture of competence in staging a successful coup? :-)

well, imagine the military is with Trump, and says to the civilians: It's okay we'll take it from here and then a bunch of military vehicles show up to arrest all of congress who is against Trump. It's kinda like that a more "professional" coup.
