  1. I remember these people and similar in Italy after the collapse of the communist block with no backing they faded away

  2. In 1979 I was stationed in Friedburg , Germany 26 kils North of Frankfort… Across the Street was a German Prison and a few of them were in the Prison… They had a NASTY Reputation 🫣😱😵‍💫💀

  3. Founded their lifestyles – this must be the first super ignorant thing I hear today. This reporter is old enough to understand better

  4. No doubting that the tolerant left will be demonstrating outside German embassies in Europe and North America demanding her release, claiming that her and her cohorts were merely innocent freedom fighters, rebelling against the capitalist/ fascist overlords blah blah blah.

  5. I would have thought that they would escape to Russia and live a privileged life like Kim Philby and others of that stripe.

  6. Arrested just last year after a podcast started seeking for her ? As a American sometimes have a hard time following these British accents.10 of thousands of Euros and weapons ? Was she planning something ?

  7. I’m surprised the German Green Party hasn’t “rallied around” this woman – some of that Party’s policies – regarding “Net Zero” – if implemented – would wreak the type of havoc for ordinary Germans that the Red Army Faction hankered after in the 1970s 🤪 !!!
