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.

    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.

    Iran is on point. People that think they are acting too heartless never saw the shit end of the stick held by western nations or even just regular criminals. Across the globe the last straw as been pulled, regardless of race, nationality, culture. People are reaching the time of “by any means necessary” with the acknowledgement that sacrifices will need to be made and that the goal for a better world is worth more than their own lives.

    Live for humanity. Die for humanity.

      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.
