When I hear about the coup attempt in Germany & the desire of these violent extremists to insert Prince Heinrich XIII of Reuss as the leader after a planned execution of the German chancellor, it sounds ludicrous, laughable. But that's the thing: These people are deadly serious.

Because the plots of these anti-democratic extremists often seem so ludicrous, they can succeed because the public--& too many leaders--don't take them seriously enough. This tendency is how Trump got as far as he did.

@StevenBeschloss let’s be VERY clear: the German coup attempt was financed by Putin, without a speck of a doubt, possibly also with Chinese money funneled through Russia. And I have no doubt, that further investigations with reveal tight connections with American militia groups. There is just too much similarity.

I suspect there's a bunch of unregistered foreign agents involved in this, Blackwater level.
