@FalkTG Regarding their much-vaunted independence, several facts: Spain granted them loans they never repaid, and positioned the Spanish Navy in the Bay of Biscay. Without this, the Royal Navy would have swept the US aside. Not to mention Gálvez
@FalkTG I am Spanish. World War II: no one liberated Spain. A fascist dictator remained here for 40 years, sponsored by the United States of America, from 1944 to 1975. Furthermore, the United States fabricated the sabotage of the battleship Maine, instigating a war for no reason. 1898
@WSJopinion@LinasKojala@Leskevicius That's not true, hence Trump's frustration. Only the UK allows them passage through its bases, and now it's limiting access. Trump's United States is not a reliable ally. Is Vance with Orban, in Moscow's service?
Breaking:

@EricLDaugh@kate_p45@pitbullpatriot3 Imagino que ignoras estos datos. La OTAN es una alianza defensiva, las bases españolas sorpresa, son españolas,
La pregunta es porqué los eeuu unidos han atacado irán por que se lo pidió Israel? Por el petróleo... que tiene que ver con la OTAN?
The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders.
While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels.
And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.”
Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean.
You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

@anvillarino@Lenore1789 Hernán Cortés, quemo sus barcos para que nadie pudiera pensar en abandonar.
Trump sabe que ira a la cárcel si deja de ser presidente y a llevado todo a un punto, que otros tantos si dejan el gobierno irán a la cárcel.
Solo puede ir hacía delante... ahí esta su estrategia
Uno de los mayores escándalos en la justicia española es que Cospedal no esté sentada hoy en el banquillo del caso Kitchen. Se lo debe todo a Garcia Castellón.
Este audio demoledor con Villarejo donde hablan de “laminar” a Bárcenas por su libretita👇
Absolute horror on Al Jazeera. Israeli forces just deliberately shot and killed a World Health Organization employee in Gaza. They opened fire on a UN vehicle, injuring multiple staff members. Israel is intentionally targeting the United Nations with zero accountability.
Absolute humiliation for the White House on Sky News. A top correspondent reveals Donald Trump is desperately using a single pilot rescue as a PR stunt to distract from the fact that he has completely lost control of the broader war and the Strait of Hormuz.
BOMBSHELL: Donald Trump accidentally reveals the terrifying truth behind his feud with NATO. He admits he abandoned European allies and fractured the alliance simply because they refused to sell him Greenland! He is risking global security over a petty real estate dispute.
@draloneboy US bases in Europe exist to serve US interests.
We pay much of the cost.
We also spend nearly half a trillion on our own defence. And we’re the American defence industry’s biggest customer.
So yeah. Close your bases. We’ll be fine…not so sure about your defence industry.
@draloneboy Two reminders for Mr. Marco Rubio:
First: Europe is the United States' largest creditor. If Europe sells its debt, the United States will go bankrupt.
Second: Without military bases in Europe, the United States lacks strategic global projection.
American superpower status was never about aircraft carriers or nuclear warheads. It was about relationships and geography. No nation is a superpower alone. The Soviet Union was a superpower because it controlled half of Europe, its resources, its armies, its airspace. The moment those countries walked out the door, Russia became what it always was underneath. Just Russia. Large, ugly, and alone.
America built something different. Thirty-one of the world’s wealthiest democracies, voluntarily, collectively amplifying one nation’s reach into every corner of the planet. That is what made America a superpower. Not the bombs. The allies. Without them you have no forward bases, no friendly airspace, no intelligence network, no collective weight. Today a country with a 17-hour flight to the nearest problem. Which is, with the greatest respect, basically another Brazil.
Europe was the rocket fuel that powered two superpowers. First pumped into the Soviet machine, then into the American one. And now, Europe is keeping that fuel for itself. Russia collapsed and the Sovjet Union collapsed.
Russia lost its empire when the satellites left. America is being and idiot. Same result. Just with worse timing. Meanwhile Europe is becoming something it has not been in a very long time. The point.
