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.

We won WWII in 1945. Did they not stop considering us the enemy until the Marshall Plan gave them money in '48?

Okay. Perhaps.

Their country was partitioned by the USSR -- the Berlin Wall came later; I remember the summer it went up, as I was 13 then.

That would be my guess.
