US invading Iran is similar to Putin invading Brazil btw distance-wise. Which one can you imagine ever happening?
Spain’s been going fairly hard lately, and I’m loving it!
There’s a lot going wrong in that country, sadly. But their stance lately on the US and Israel is admirable and should be an example for the rest of the EU, and the world. Silence is compliance.
Oh, so hard! Closed airspace to US planes. Wow! It must be very scary.
Spain’s location is very important strategically, and not being able to us Naval Station Rota, and Morón airbase complicates things for the US. Disabling, no, but it certainly makes things harder.
It’s all bark and no bite. If they want to go hard, how about they actually do something instead of sending thoughts and prayers.

Bullshit:
“I would like to present new measures from Spain — first and foremost, a new military aid package worth EUR 1 billion for 2026. In total, Spain’s assistance in this war has reached EUR 4 billion,” Sanchez said.
This is more than thoughts
Oh wow… closed airspace for US military planes. Must be real expensive. What a huge sacrifice.
They’re not risking anything. It doesn’t cost them anything. The only reason they close it is for their own domestic politics.
Naval Station Rota, and Morón Airbase are pretty fucking big, strategic, and not being able to use them is not trivial.
You probably don’t mean to, but you’re sounding like a bit of an ignorant asshole. Were you like hangry or sth when you wrote this?
You were going to complain no matter what Spain did…
No, they could start actually helping out in europe and I’ll be overjoyed.
Mate, Spain isn’t doing great itself. As much as I would love to have Spain’s support, they need ours first. There is a lot of corruption, poverty, inequality, oppression of minority groups, etc. The fact they speak out against a tyrant does more on the world stage than staying politically correct and trying to keep the modern fascist regime a friend because that would be the economically smart choice.
We need people to speak up, to take a side, because silance is compliance. In history we remember the ones who did. Like Martin Luther King and Ghandi, to just name a few. Their words meant more than their money. We also remember the UK and France for taking a stance against Hitler too late, after letting him go too far already.
Even the pope is doing it. It has always been the strongest power of the Vatican, even though their wealth could end world hunger more than once.
What Spain is risking by closing it’s airspace to the US, is war with the US if the US doesn’t give a shit and uses its airspace, and Spain keeps its word. I wouldn’t say that’s just bark and no bite. That shit is serious. It’s only just bark if they don’t enforce it, but we don’t know that yet. At least they take a strong stance, which should be an example to us all. They risk war with a super power to take a moral stance. They are modern day heroes if you ask me. Rosa Park did the same, taking huge risks to take a stance.
Clueless. Do your homework.
you dropped this.
It’s yours, don’t lie
don’t kink shame, it’s rude.
Honestly they’re correct. Putin at least seems somewhat predictable and he’s definitely more intelligent.
Idk, someone intelligent wouldn’t have attacked ukraine.
😂 good joke!
Well, yeah, at least Putin is smart, and will act strategically. Trump is just a monkey flinging poop.
Yeah, very smart that one. If he didn’t attack Ukraine, Russia would have been one of the wealthiest countries in the world. The entire EU was dependent on them ffs. Now it wouldn’t surprise me if I hear that the federation breaks apart very soon.
Lol, what?!
He couldn’t even take Ukraine. The biggest difference is that he isn’t a terminally online manbaby who needs constant attention.
Putin is finished, he is a walking dead together with the Russian Empire he wanted to create.
But we need to support Ukraine more, so this stupid war isn’t prolonged more than necessary. When the war is over both Ukraine and EU will prosper.We need to help Ukraine win ASAP so that we can redirect our military resources to defending ourselves against the United States.
What a way to find out I’m a Spaniard.
How is Israel lower that North Korea. What did North Korea even do wrong, they’re an isolated dictatorship, who bother no one but South Korea. There are many more states like this. Eritrea, Turkmenistan for example. Also, why is China first. They aren’t committing war crimes yet, only crimes against humanity. Can’t say the same about the US, Israel and Russia.
Putin and Trump are the same threat, just look at what they do in Hungary.
Putin is stuck in the past (concretely USSR era) and Trump is stuck in the present (terminally online tech bro)
So do we Americans.
Let these escapades serve as an example that, outside of the Epstein Class, people’s only power here is local.
World peace, lol.
