The dynamics between military leadership and civilian leadership is always interesting. I wonder and assume that in Russia’s case this can be done with impunity as a general if your army backs you. I am fairly certain that Mr Shit POTUS before he left his position in 2020, solicited support of the Joint Chiefs for a martial law prop up the dictator scenario, but they told him to stuff it.  The head of the Joint Chiefs made a public statement prior to the election that the US Military was not getting involved in management of the election, which I thought was an unusual thing to be saying.
