Comen y se van.
I think the US is calling the base withdrawal a "punishment" to save public face when really it's probably Spain kicking out them. Similar to how Trump made big talk about bringing Iran to the stone age to make it look like Iran surrendered when it was the other way around to anyone with actually the ability to read.
Could be. Regardless, it looks worse to frame it this way considering what happened to the gulf monarchies. Hosting US terrorist troops only makes you a legitimate target.
In the case of the gulf states, I do think they (their ruling class) actually do need US bases since there is a very strong risk they would overthrown by anti-zionists and pan-arab nationalists if they expanded their own militaries beyond being a private security force made up of mercenaries. Their absolute domestic power comes at the cost of being unable to empower and trust their own citizens in any way and having to be puppets to a foreign power.
Woah woah woah! They trust their citizens! It's just that 40% of their population is imported slave labor!
Saudis are the most phrenology-pilled pieces of shit I've ever interacted with. Had a group project with a guy in college who said your last name shows how closely related you are to royalty and that determines whether you get respect from someone or not.
I share the same view, i feel like they wouldn't last 3 years without US weapons. Some of the monarchies are basically entirely populated by expats, UAE is like 90% expats and migrant workers from south asia.
So like absolute win for Spain then?
The reality is more nuanced. Even fashgirl Giorgia Meloni (Italy) is rejecting US access to bases on Italian soil. I suppose the war is so unpopular that all who support it automatically fail domestically.
On the other hand, I expect master magician Pedro Sánchez to reject US aggression and simultaneously buy American weapons which, inexplicably, will end up in Naziyahu's hands.
The Pedro has a lot of positive international reputation right now, but here on Lemmy we approach the world dialectically. That is, we don't buy lib bullshit. Sánchez's moves are super lib at the core. Do 1 lefty thing and 2 righty things.
Right now, Georgia Meloni just lost a referendum and is in trouble because one of the ministers slept with an escort who released interviews. So she tries somehow to gain approval from citizens but it is very hard for her.
It's like rolling a natural 20 lol
So in one side you gain massive popular support for condemning the US terrorist attacks, and in the other side you also get your occupier to retire it's troops from your territory? In the other hand, collaborating rewards you with even more occupying forces? Lmao
