On this day in 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was founded. But did you know that in its early days, Nazis filled the ranks of what would become the largest peacetime military alliance in the world? 🧵

One of the first voices to suggest an alliance between the Nazis and the West to contain the “Soviet threat” was Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS and chief architect of the Holocaust.

Himmler’s attempts to negotiate a separate peace with the Western Allies failed, leading to him committing suicide in a British prison camp. But his dream came true with the creation of NATO, an alliance founded to contain Soviet communism.

77 years ago, Koreans on Jeju Island rose up for a free and unified Korea.

Read on to learn more about the Jeju Uprising of 1948. 🧵

In response to the uprising, the nascent Republic of Korea (ROK), with the help of the US military, massacred an estimated 20% of the island’s population.

The end of WWII in 1945 also ended almost four decades of Japanese occupation of Korea. Immediately after, self-governing People’s Committees (PCs) began forming throughout the peninsula.

Is a US-Israel attack on Iran imminent? 🧵

The US has deployed a second aircraft carrier and additional warplanes, threatening a possible attack on Iran. Last week, the Pentagon deployed 6 US B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia, a US-UK military base in the Indian Ocean, located 2,400 miles from Iran. The B-2 bombers, capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear munitions, are equipped with 30k-pound bunker buster bombs, designed to penetrate Iran’s deep underground nuclear sites and strike evading air defense systems.

The US maintains at least 19 military facilities or bases across the region, including in Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and the UAE. Yesterday, there was notable movement of large C-17A Globemaster III transport aircraft from the US Air Force, with flights between key airbases in Europe, particularly Ramstein, Germany, and Al Udeid airbase in Qatar. After being used in the US attack on Yemen, Al Udeid base could potentially be used in an operation against Iran.

Germany’s ruling parties are advancing a law that turns citizenship into a political test. A draft seen by DW lets the state revoke passports of dual nationals accused of being “terror supporters, antisemites, or extremists” — without defining those terms.

Their political meaning, however, is already in motion. Under Germany’s adoption of the IHRA framework, “antisemitism” includes many forms of criticism of Israel—meaning the new law could be used to punish political dissent, especially from Palestinians and their allies.

“Extremism,” rooted in constitutional doctrine, is used to monitor those seen as threatening the liberal order — including socialists, communists, and pro-Palestinian movements.

Germany immigration authorities are set to deport four foreign students for their involvement in pro-Palestine protests. The country is taking lessons from Trump, who revoked over 300 student visas for criticizing Israel.

Despite no criminal convictions, the four deportation orders cite participation in demonstrations such as a sit-in at Berlin’s central train station, a road blockade, and the occupation of a building at the Free University of Berlin.

All had a legal right to be in Germany. Three are EU nationals, and one is from the US. Legal experts question the proportionality, noting German migration law allows deportation without conviction if deemed necessary, but the threat must be serious. These individuals are being targeted for their political views.

On this day in 1971, German communist Monika Ertl assassinated Roberto Quintanilla, the Bolivian officer responsible for Che Guevara’s execution. 🧵

Surprisingly, Ertl was the daughter of a Nazi propagandist who had fled to Bolivia. She was raised surrounded by her family's Nazi friends, such as Gestapo chief Klaus Barbie, aka the "Butcher of Lyon", who British director Kevin Macdonald alleges orchestrated Guevara's murder.

Monika cut ties with her fascist family and grew closer to the Communist cause. She was deeply moved by Che Guevara's assassination in 1967 which led to her joining the National Liberation Army of Bolivia (ELN), which Che headed prior to his death.
