"We no longer recognize our America."

"As a German, I know that without the United States I would not have grown up in a peaceful and democratic situation. The liberal order after the Second World War is the product of the United States.

"Maybe this can explain why we Germans in particular are so perturbed when we look across the Atlantic — because we no longer recognize our America. Is it deeds, is it words, is it tweets we should look at to measure America?"

-German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel  at the Munich Security Conference today. So sad.
