Germany: We need to view US as an adversary

Well, that makes sense since Trump said they were our foe.

@willripleyCNN
A Senior Western diplomat calls Trump’s 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."

Other countries should take that into consideration. It's the sane thing to do.
