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.”
Difference is that the one divided a country in two the other is dividing two different countries.
They were two different countries at the time. That’s like calling the Koreas a divided country.
Feel free to educate me then. How were they not two different countries at the time? The U.N. recognized them as such.
Not true. Germany was divided into two countries by the allied forces and Russia after WWII…
