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.
Spain is now a shining beacon of goodness in a world gone bad.
They’re based af nowadays
That’s so fetch
They could be more based and let Catalonia go.
The whole Catalonia thing is very complex, but catalán politicians waving the flag to manipulate the population plays a major part.
Right now the support for independence is at around 32%.
Doing a Brexit (Catalexit?)is throughly idiotic on a simple majority basis.
Weird how every time the region tries to be more autonomous they’re violently opposed by right-wing authoritarians and that has short-term impacts on morale.
That’s why the right-wingers of PP and Vox are frothing at the mouth and pushing their corporate media mercenaries to lie extra hard about it all.
I would argue taking a month to close airspace after a school got bombed on day 1 doesn’t really make you shine of goodness

Italy for this cycle elected our first female prime minister. She’s a fascist.
UK did something similar back in the late 70s
The elected official (PM) is a man. The defense minister (not elected, assigned by the PM) is a woman.
Maybe… You never know.
Spain never had a woman PM.
Are they only around in the morning?
Yes, PM is siesta time.
Spain seems cool
You trying to be funny, hombre?
