Spain closes off its airspace to US planes involved in the Iran war

Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war after earlier saying the U.S. couldn't use jointly operated military bases there for operations related to the conflict.

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.

    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 funding a fake world.

      I feel the need to point out that western culture as such doesn’t really exist. It’s the same as saying ‘Asian Culture’. It’s way too broad of a descriptor to be able to judge it the way you do. US culture differs quite a lot from European cultures for example.

      And what you are describing is true for a lot of cultures/countries that aren’t ‘western’. Consumerism is a global phenomenon.

      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.
