Description
When footage of rioters storming the US Capitol streamed live in 2021, some far-right extremists in Germany watched it like a soccer game. The European nation has spent decades confronting its dark history, but neo-Nazi and conspiracy theorist movements continue to rise in Germany, and around the world.   In this rebroadcast from last year, Ray Suarez talks with two domestic intelligence agents: one in Germany and the other in the United States. What have they learned in their fight against violent extremism?   Guests: Stephan Kramer, chief of intelligence for the German state of Thuringia Michael German, Brennan Center for Justice at NYC Law School and former FBI agent   Host: Ray Suarez, co-host of WorldAffairs   If you appreciate this episode and want to support the work we do, please consider making a donation to World Affairs.
