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.

Spain is now a shining beacon of goodness in a world gone bad.

That's what happens when you elect women into power. Go Spain!

EDIT: Apparently this is not accurate. Apologies. The intent was to credit the defense minister, who is a woman.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 7 points 15 hours ago

The elected official is a man. The defense minister (not elected) is a woman.

Italy for this cycle elected our first female prime minister. She's a fascist.

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 2 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago) (1 children)

Spain never had a woman PM.

Who would have thought alienating your allies then starting a war without consulting your allies would result in your allies not wanting to get dragged into said war.

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

Fascinating stuff, write that down. We might want to study this "don't be a dick and blindside your allies" concept later.
