An diesem Tag vor 41 Jahren scheiterte ein Putschversuch von General Nicole Militaru gegen Diktator Nicolae Ceaușescu, als die Soldaten, die den Plan ausführen sollten, zur Maisernte gingen

His name was Nick Military?

Sorry boss, can’t coup today, it’s corn season

Nice try, but most likely it would have been just as bad, if not worse afterwards. Because the coup was basically plotted by Securitate (Romanian equivalent of Stasi, state’s secret police, and just as brutal) and he was suspected of being a russian agent.

He was appointed defence minister immediately after Ceausescu was shot in December 1989. „As minister, Militaru recalled to active duty some thirty officers, most of whom had received active training in the Soviet Union. Other officers became increasingly uneasy and a pro-reform group, Comitetul de Acțiune pentru Democratizarea Armatei (CADA, Action Committee for the Democratization of the Army) emerged on 12 February 1990. The following day over a thousand soldiers and officers assembled in Bucharest“

Edit: yeah, after reading more about him, I am now convinced he was moskow’s man in Bucharest. The guy basically managed to use the revolution opportunity and to finish the coup he wanted to do a few years earlier, by using his new position of power (defence minister on the revolutionary side) to eliminate the closest ones to Ceausescu, and to propell Ion Iliescu (former acolyte of Ceausescu and member of the communist party) as the new leader of the revolutionaries.

Apparently he even asked Gorbatschow to intervene in Romania, but Gorbatschow refused (I’m still looking for a more trustwothy source for this information).

Edit 2: another source I found about the above statement:

Edit 3: I did not know until now, who John Simpson is (the author of the above article). Now I think that the source is reliable.

Nosferatu tried what?

General Nick War-man is the most on the nose thing I’ve heard in a while 😂

It was me, General Military !

This fking traitor gave the order to slaughter soldiers during the revolution . For those interested https://youtu.be/2oCXzIzAJMs?si=pyAvcKoasNiZwUqm

The first rule of any coup d’etat is to pay enough.
