I was helping with the mis-remembering, not making a point. Trump is a clown and the fact that 'even' he got this right, just goes to show how bad it was for Germany to depend primarily on a single point of failure.
That single point of failure delivered reliable for 50+ years. Common, a crowd like the one on HN should get at least the basics right before predicting the end of western civilisation.
I think that tends to undermine the point though.
