Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war, Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday, marking another step in the country’s opposition to the U.S. and Israel’s conflict in the Middle East.

Spain had already said the U.S. could not use jointly operated military bases in the Iran conflict, which Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has described as illegal, reckless and unjust.

Defense Minister Robles said Monday the same logic applied to the use of Spanish airspace in the conflict.

This is how you do it, rest of the EU countries. Or you're complicit.

Right!? This is a telling moment for countries.

People hate on Iran but do they really know what it's like to get shit on? It's the word of privileged assholes vs the word of the people their culture took a massive shit on.

I can't say I know much about irans history though.

Their message of "One Vengeance For All" is righteous.

This morning I was thinking of a metaphor. America is like the school shooter (literally), regular citizens are like the victims, and Iran is like the the person that plugs the shooter. The countries (and citizens) that aren't doing anything towards Israel and USA are like the uvalde police.

No one is shitting on the Iranian people, though. It's the government they're shitting on.

It's like how we can shit on the Israeli government without shitting on Jews.

Idk I feel like western culture shits on humanity in general. Like it's engrained in the culture and lifestyles but everyone is too privileged to even understand.

If people actually want change, it's something bigger than simply the governments.

It's not just the right, maga, and trump that are the enemies of humanity etc... it's our lifestyles and culture of arrogance. People need to take a long hard look and see themselves in the chaos and how they help support it.

It feels like genuine humanity is being lost more and more every day. There's no authenticity. It's like everyone is less human and more just a cog in the machine that ruins the gift of life. Like there's no soul in people, just a spirit of consumerism and partnership of detachment from honest reality. I feel like that culture is like the zombies in the zombie movies. They are dead inside simply consuming and finding a fake world.

It's definitely not just western culture. It's because humans are fundamentally tribalistic animals.

That's why it's so easy for evil people to gain power. They prey on that tribalism.

Iran is like the the person that plugs the shooter.

Yeah, but he also rapes his infant daughter and murdered his son because he was gay

Chapelle made a show around this joke

"War on Terror" sounded pretty righteous too. I'm glad you noted you haven't read much on Iran. Please do at least catch up on the last 50 years or so. It's a fascinating tale involving western meddling, a dynamic and multifaceted people/culture, and a genuinely oppressive regime that funds many regional militant groups.

Our last good one got shot 1986.

[–] mimavox@piefed.social 2 points 17 hours ago

I mean, just look at our current PM during NATO negations with Erdogan in Turkey. Embarrassing doesn't begin to describe it.
