Spanish boicot of USA products now got easier! Yay!

Just also remember to unsubscribe to all USA provided services.

Here is a curated list of alternatives.

[–] example@reddthat.com 2 points 9 minutes ago

ironic to host this on a US service

[–] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 5 points 34 minutes ago

Who give a fuck at this point.

[–] Paranoidfactoid@lemmy.world 5 points 50 minutes ago

Spain is in the EU. How difficult would it be for a Spanish exporter to open a field office in Germany and export from there?

This is idiotic.

[–] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 4 points 35 minutes ago

Hey, if anyone in Spain wants to hack the US and leak the Epstein files, please do.

The shithead makes it a lot easier for China, every day.

How can the rest of the world get this deal??

[–] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 3 points 36 minutes ago

The MAGA fucks still fail to realize how important the US military installations in the EU are for their stupid military adventures. Spain is 100% correct and the rest of the EU members should do the same to bring the entire ill planned shitshow, created by Israel and the USA, to an abrupt end.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, one of a dwindling number of left-leaning voices in Europe

I didn't know there were any left. Good job, Spain!

Green Party in the UK are getting a louder voice, ie more support and members than ever.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 3 points 43 minutes ago

That's good, since Labour turned out to be Tory lite just like Democrats being Republican lite.

You should also look into the Hungarian elections coming up its starting to look like their far right leader will lose!

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 45 minutes ago

That would be awesome! Do it, people!

[–] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 82 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

I'm more interested in seeing what happens with the second part of his threat, that he'll "use those bases whether spain likes it or not".

I believe that's called an incursion on foreign soil.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 32 points 3 hours ago

It's called: instead of uniting together to eliminate Iran we should gather together and eliminate the US government with its oligarchs. This will immediately solve a lot of problems in this world.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago

What a snowflake.

[–] LoveTrumpsHate@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

Trump should be pleased with Spain, they even named a military base after him:

"Trump's comments came after the US relocated 15 aircraft, including refuelling tankers, from the Rota and Moron military bases in southern Spain after the country's Socialist leadership said it would not allow them to be used to attack Iran."

Jesus Fucking Christ this man is a fucking child. He is constantly throwing tantrums any time he doesn't get his way.

[–] tehn00bi@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago

His brain is mush. Have you ever been around someone who is losing their mind. Nothing coming out of their mouth makes much sense and most of it is anger.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 12 points 3 hours ago

The frightening thing is that it often works for him. At least in short term.

[–] bagsy@lemmy.world 66 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

it describes his supporters as well.

[–] Reddit_was_fun@sh.itjust.works 19 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's screaming babies all the way down

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

There's a joke about the epstein files in there I ain't gonna make… but it's there.

He did admit he stopped growing/maturing by age 6. It tracks.

What a fucking child, oh wait he also rapes children.

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Honestly, those two are likely psychologically connected.

[–] Jhex@lemmy.world 211 points 6 hours ago

Well if you were not sure, this is clear evidence Spain did the right thing

As Trump said about Starmer:

I guess our relationship isn't what it used to be.

You are goddam right it isn't you malignant sociopath. And it's all 100% your fault, and the Americans that voted for you twice!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 78 points 5 hours ago

and the Americans that voted for you twice!

3 times.

They voted for a felon rapist pedophile 3 times.

What's the Spanish equivalent of "freedom fries"?

Will someone ever succeed in explaining Trump what the EU is?

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 8 points 2 hours ago

Remember when he tried to discuss a trade deal with Merkel? And she is like "uh, that's not how it works"

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 68 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure no one has ever successfully explained anything to Trump.
