As the U.S. government built its latest stretch of border wall, Mexico made a statement of its own by laying remains of the Berlin Wall a few steps away.
The 3-ton pockmarked, gray concrete slab sits between a bullring, a lighthouse and the border wall, which extends into the Pacific Ocean.
“May this be a lesson to build a society that knocks down walls and builds bridges,” reads the inscription below the towering Cold War relic, attributed to Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero and titled, “A World Without Walls.”
They were two different countries at the time. That’s like calling the Koreas a divided country.
Not true. Germany was divided into two countries by the allied forces and Russia after WWII…
That’s what I was saying.

Again, please explain how West Germany and East Germany were not two separate countries when even the U.N. recognized their independent sovereignty.

Insulting me is not an answer. Is North Korea a sovereign nation or not? It’s a pretty simple question.
