This is getting into alt history territory, but how does a coup of a nuclear power play out, frame by frame? I recognize the dissolution of the USSR was a soft coup, but that took years of planning and subverting the Soviet political system, as well as collaborationists taking key positions. Historically, for a coup to be successful they need to have backing in all branches of the military and capture ministries (always get the ministry of the interior). Israel is obviously dependent on the US, but it has a sovereign and home-grown state apparatus that operates independently to the US, and does not need to obey the US when push comes to shove. So it seems like an uphill battle to carry out a coup against them.
What the US does best: orchestrate a coup.
