   Has the US Jan 6th coup attempt inspired German extremists? Qanon also involved in the German case. BBC reports "Germany arrests 25 accused of plotting coup" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63885028 #Germany #jan6th

     @JapanProf I recall reading about far-right extremism in the German armed forces in NYT some time ago.

     @Narako yes, I did too. There was a concern that extremists had penetrated the active police force, state agencies, etc. At least in Germany, unlike the US, they arrested the group before any attack on the government took place. But it's very scary...
