This is egregious editorializing (real title: Germany Arrests 25 People Suspected of Plotting to Overthrow Government). Flagged.

No, there wasn't a "military coup planned". A handful of domestic terrorists had naive plans to… do something which wouldn't result in a transfer of power, even if they succeeded with their plan. Some of them had "military training" (like, you know, about half of the male population).

German news (English website) article: https://www.dw.com/en/german-police-arrest-25-suspects-over-...

“Officials said the network, part of a wider right-wing movement, was already well established with a concrete plan to overthrow the German state by force and install a new government.”

So, perhaps, military is the incorrect word, as they certainly planned/desired a coup. They also seem to have problems understanding the magnitude of the state.

Just post links with the titles straight from the original. HN demands it. (Light/obvious cropping for titles that don’t fit the character limits.)

Ok.
