Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands have been Spanish for more than two centuries before the United States even came into existence; more than three centuries before the United States occupied over 55% of Mexico’s territory; more than three centuries before the unification of Germany and Italy; more than four centuries before the establishment of the State of Israel; and more than four centuries before Finland became an independent state. Yet for several days now, a number of self-styled “experts” and policy commentators (many affiliated with American think tanks) have been trying to deny that historical reality across social media. History, however, does not change to accommodate political narratives. Repeat a lie often enough, amplify it through social media, and before long many people will mistake it for the truth.

Dire Straits 🎼Telegraph Road💙
A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a sack on his back
And he put down his load
Where he thought it was the best
He made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store
And he plowed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travelers came walking down the track
And they never went further, no
They never went back
Then came the churches, then came the schools
Then came the lawyers, and then came the rules
Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines, then came the ore
Then there was the hard times, then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside
Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic
Three lanes moving slow
I used to like to go to work, but they shut it down
I've got a right to go to work
But there's no work here to be found
Yes, and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap
From some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road
You know, I'd sooner forget
But I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race
Between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder
You had your hand in my hair
Now you act a little colder
Like you don't seem to care
But believe in me, baby, and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights, these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'Cause I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again
From all of these signs saying, "Sorry, but we're closed"
All the way
Down the telegraph road
🚨BREAKING: British veteran breaks down live on TV over state of the country:
"Rows and rows of white tombs for what? A country of today? No, I'm sorry. The sacrifice wasn't worth the result.
I fought for freedom, and it's darn-sight worse now than when I fought."
Un veterano británico en pleno directo:
"¿Tantas filas de tumbas blancas para qué? ¿Para ver en lo que se ha convertido hoy? No, lo siento, no valió la pena."
España dice no a EEUU y los estadounidenses agachan la cabeza. Tal cual. Fue el 28 de julio de 1806 y el capitán Francisco Diana, al frente de 212 dragones de cuera, interceptó, a orillas del Río Rojo, en lo que hoy es el Nordeste de Tejas, a la expedición estadounidense enviada por el presidente de los EEUU para, supuestamente, explorar los límites entre EEUU y el Imperio español. ¿La realidad? Las órdenes de Freeman y Custis, los jefes de la expedición estadounidense, era conducir a sus 50 hombres, tan al interior de las posesiones españolas como les fuera posible y firmar tratados con tribus como los comanches, para socavar el dominio español. Tenían también que evaluar riquezas y capacidades defensivas, etc. Pero España dijo no: envió a sus dragones de cuera, la tropa de frontera más dura y avezada de lo que luego fue el Salvaje Oeste y los estadounidenses, agacharon la cabeza y se dieron la vuelta.

«El fiero turco en Lepanto,
en la Tercera el francés,
y en todo mar el inglés,
tuvieron de verme espanto.
»Rey servido y patria honrada
dirán mejor quién he sido
por la cruz de mi apellido
y con la cruz de mi espada».

Hoy os hablaré de los 15 de Winchester, un episodio fascinante de la historia militar española.
Esta fuga, poco conocida comparada con otras hazañas navales, es un ejemplo notable de ingenio y valentía.
La historia está protagonizada por quince prisioneros de guerra españoles en
