  Europe is currently being invaded by Russia and your idea for a "hardliner" course is to start sending Russia money?
  - rqak 7mo ago
    Europe is sending repressive gulf monarchies money. Europe is sending LNG money to the US that threatened to invade Greenland.

  Should Spain get to run US airspace? If not, why does the US get to run Spain's?

      US defense from... who exactly? And of course, the US bases are guests in Spain, a favor the Spanish are doing for their friends. They're still expected to follow their hosts rules.

      > Pretty sure those agreements don't say "And you can tell us what to do with our defense assets whenever you want". Of course they do. https://es.usembassy.gov/agreement-on-defense-cooperation/ https://es.usembassy.gov/agreement-on-defense-cooperation/ "To this end, Spain grants to the United States of America the use of operational and support installations and grants authorizations for use of Spanish territory, territorial sea and airspace for purposes within the bilateral or multilateral scope of this Agreement. Any use beyond these purposes will require the prior authorization of the Government of Spain." "Aircraft flying logistics missions, operated by or for the United States forces, other than those in paragraph 1, not carrying VIPs, HAZMAT or cargo or passengers that might be controversial to Spain may overfly, enter or exit Spanish airspace and use the bases specified in Annex 2 on quarterly blanket overflight clearances authorized by the Permanent Committee."

        You're doing it again, conflating antisemitism and criticism of Israel, I flagged your comments.

        Boiling legitimate criticism of the USA funding of Israel to “of course the Jews stole it” is intellectually dishonest.

Israeli media reports that today USA bombed a school again with an experimental ballistic missle, killing 21 people: https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/2026-03-30/ty-article/.premium/report-u-s-fired-untested-ballistic-missile-at-iranian-school-killing-21/0000019d-3f3b-dc64-a3df-ff7f1c420000 https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/iran/2026-03-30/ty-... US is already very unpopular even among the traditionally very pro-US populations, which means anyone not distancing themselves from US will underperform and in many cases pro-US politicians will be ousted. These posts are getting flagged but its actually vey relevant for US tech as US tech may end up blocked across the world with potentially reducing its userbase by %90 percent as US population quite small actually.

    Oh its from 2 days ago? Okay then, let's vote in the politicians that will drag us to war crimes and genocides with US and Israel - said no one.

      You're welcome to review my commenting history; I'm by no means supportive of either administration nor the Iran War. (You'll find me, for example, noting Israel's campaign in Gaza is ethnic cleansing; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46519718 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46519718) edit: Strike the rest.

        That's fine I don't accuse you of anything. People are now joking about Iran deploying inflatable schools as decoy so to make US spent their bombs on those.
