A Senior Western diplomat calls Trumps comments w/ Putin devastating & pathetic. A German official tells CNN the press conference was frightening and Germans (for the first time since 1948) see the need for a strategy that treats the US as an ADVERSARY.

I know it sounds anti US, but I've been telling my Canadian friends that the US is now a threat to them. Several have reached out to me looking for reassurance, I gave none, I said, "Canada and Canadians need to know that Trump is a mad man and way worse than you know, you and your country would do well to start preparing to defend yourself from US economic aggression which will eventually become military aggression is Trump has his way."
