I think voxpopulicosmicum is right: there doesn't even need to be military support, let alone military involvement. A coup d'état is any seizure of power from a sitting government, such as by members of that government, the opposition, or external unelected groups or individuals.
I never said there was a military involvement, classically there is, especially in the so called third world/banana republic. This is why the Ford's call of a coup d'état, and Dougie's statement of a third world nation is in error; a direction and distraction such as "kangaroo court" with it's allusion of imperialism/colonialism.
Personally I am waiting for the "drum's head court" to be uttered, if not already.
