Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Guess now we know which government in Europe doesn't have politicians who are being blackmailed by Israel and/or the US with proof of some crime or other (including pedophilia, which judging by who supported Epstein is a specialty of both the MOSSAD and the CIA)
Just wait until PP or vox gains power. Which will probably happen since now the cia+mossad will work together to get them into power.
I think American support for the Far-Right all over Europe has been ongoing and pretty openly so for a while now: some years ago Steve Bannon even came to Europe with money to - as he himself said - grow the Far-Right in Europe.
Israel being an ethno-Fascist country are also very interested in the growth of the Far-Right in Europe as plenty of warm welcome of European Fascists in Israel attest to, including some who have often openly made anti-semitic statements.
I suspect the horse of CIA + MOSSAD support for Far-Right parties in Spain (and the rest of Europe) has long bolted from the stable, in which case it won't be any worse if leftwing and even centrist European leaders cut off support for those nations, maybe even the opposite since those nations are already actively supporting their political adversaries.
PS: Whilst I'm not in Spain, I am in next door Portugal, and you can be pretty damn sure that America as a nation are total buddy-buddies specifically with the mainstream Portuguese supposedly center-right party (only not really center anything, plus they have been drifitting even further rightwards in the last decade or two) which is the equivalent of the PP and is currently in government in Portugal (which is why Portugal has been supporting both the US and Israel, including in the slanted coverage - very much using the same tricks as the BBC and NYT - of the Genocide and the this war in the local Media aligned with that side of politics).
You didn't mention kremlin, they were already into it
Respect to Spain on this. This is illegal and wrong.
Britain even allowed this but Trump is still throwing a hissy fit that they asked if it was legal before letting them do it anyways.
So yeah, the Trump regime shows once again that even if you cooperate you’ll get shit on. The only answer is to never play their games.
"oi, you got a loicense for waging war?"
You can't war there mate.

Finally. Someone stands up to our Mad King...
Based
I'm with Spain on this
Immensely based, respect.
What pointless vitriol is ~~la~~ El pedófilo naranja going to spout in response to this
Found it:
"El pedofilo naranja". Since you are referring to it as a male thing, you need to adapt the article to the male form (la is for female, while el is for male).
Yes, I used "it". I don't think trump deserves human treatment.
not a spanish speaker in any way but I wonder: shouldn't the adjective "naranja" follow as well?
That's a funny case: some adjectives do, and even some colours used as adjectives (roja/rojo, amarilla/amarillo), so your thinking makes sense, but naranja never changes its ending: it's the same for masculine as for feminine.
Note: the word naranjo exists, but it's never an adjective, it is a noun which means orange tree.
You'd use anaranjado though, not naranja. Y cuando se trata del femenino, anaranjada.
Naranja, anaranjado/a, naranjado/a are all accepted adjectives by RAE
Naranja is an adjective which was used correctly in the original sentence, and that's what we are discussing. Anaranjado exists too, but that's not the word we're discussing here.
Also, at least in some countries, the adjective naranja is much more common than anaranjado, so your suggestion would be the odd choice.
Thanks for the explanation!!
I will be surprised if he finds out about it.
Trump you mean ? He's already said he's cutting off all trade with Spain because of it.
I wrote this before he said anything. I thought US will just ignore this but they are really butthurt about it. Trump doesn't seam to understand that he can't just cut ties with Spain without cutting ties with whole Europe. Merz could explain this to him today but he proffered to sit quiet. I'm tired of being disappointed in EU leaders. Sanchez is a nice exception but his days are counted.
Imagine telling the russian government that they cannot use their military bases in YOUR country to invade ukraine. There shouldn't be any US military base in Spain to begin with but it seem the Spanish government has a different opinion.
NATO. US has bases everywhere.
