Berlin to Donald Trump: 'Don't build this wall

Germany has no right to lecture others on how to run their affairs, especially given the catastrophic fuck up Merkel made in unilaterally inviting a whole continent to decamp and make for Germany (and inevitably other nations in Europe, without consultation).

Nation states, especially when they border significantly poorer countries, need borders. It's a lesson the EU is failing to learn in a rather staggering act of hubris. It's going to cost it dearly. The comparison with the Berlin wall, which divided a single country after a World War and in advance of a Cold War between super-powers, is specious.

A country so caught up in dangerous levels of racism and nationalism shouldn't lecture other countries on hubris.
