Maybe they would rather have the wall and guard towers back, along with the Stasi.

Germany is thinking about putting on its big boy pants and going mano a mano with America. If we have to go to war with Germany again I think that we will have to forcibly relocate its entire population and settle them in northern Mexico.

If it's on the embassy grounds, who cares what Berlin wants?

It’s those Pershing misses he installed in the 80’s. Brought the Soviets back to the table. Did the Krauts appreciate the result?

Even German school children have been taught about the Berlin airlift. Their grandparents were the little German kids who received treats from the American "Candy Bombers."

"Germany did basically run mexico for a while in the 1800’s I think..." France ruled Mexico for a while in the 1800's. They did, however, briefly install a German-born Emperor named Maximilian I, who ended up being Maximilian the Last. He was deposed and executed after two years (1864-1866) by the Republican forces under President Benito Juarez (with the support of the US).

Budapest has a Reagan statue, in Liberty Square no less.

What a stupid headline. The WSJ is absolute trash. Can’t believe I revered it for so many years.
