The opinion and thoughts of leader that allowed his country to be overrun by violent invaders is as worthless as the deposits left on my lawn by my dog.

This moron will keep flapping his gums and Trump will cut off trade with Spain.

And that's ok. Greek and Italian olive oil and wine are much better anyway.

Puppet tells hand what to do, hand has to comply.

It wasn't the hand's idea.

The last time Spain actually mattered, ships were made of wood.

They can suck it.

Yeah, that will never happen. The US will play along to some degree with the EU when it comes to their chief export, which is asinine regulations. You think China is going to do that?

We have protected Europe for years and all we have asked for is some better trade deals and a small amount of help with Iran. Asking for rights to overfly airspace and to use bases in Europe isn’t a whole lot.

China will be glad to defend them and get them totally dependent on Chinese trade. They would love to loan them money too. And when Europe is totally dependent on these things China will tell them to send them all the troops they have to invade Taiwan. That’s how China would deal with them.

I’m not sure you could have enough European military to serve as extras in a Braveheart style film these days.

China won’t extend their military arm to the degree the US does. So their influence will be somewhat limited in that regard.


They don’t have the ability considering their oil supply is cut off right now

Spain has been overrun with crazy a number of times. Jumping in bed with China should be enjoyable for them

The article is very misleading. The big economies of Europe have bern trying to "reset" relations with China for a while but they keep getting burned by limited access to Chinese markets and heavy state subsidies for Chinese industry.
Plus, China has provided some degree of support for Russia during its war with Ukraine.

Europe has been trying to forge a partnership with China for a while. They are just really far apart.
