Spain Shuts Airspace for US Planes Involved in Iran War
4129: Good. I do not see why Europe should support this war after having been screwed over by Nuland, McCain, Lindsey Graham provoking the Ukraine war. Subsequently the US or Ukraine blew up critical infrastructure and the US sold overpriced LNG to Europe.Europe was then mocked for not diversifying. Obediently, they diversified only to find that the US provoked Iran into blowing up their diversification LNG.Now Europe is mocked for not having nuclear energy, when multiple countries, including the US, buy uranium from Russia.This needs to stop and the only way is to run a hardliner course, preferably resuming LNG imports from Russia to show that the EU can negotiate on its own.
tick_tock_tick: It's kinda crazy we allow countries like Spain to make these kind of decisions. I supposed if it actually mattered we'd just ignore them but still....
vrganj: What do you mean "allow"? Spain is a sovereign state, this is their decision alone.
Octoth0rpe: > It's kinda crazy we allow countries like SpainIt's crazy that we recognize country's right to determine the use of their own airspace??? Are you serious?
inaros: Is it ok now to call the US electorate suckers?"US Republicans consider health care cuts to fund Iran war" - https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/us-republicans-consider-he...A reminder Israel has both universal healthcare and tuition free university...and voted yesterday to give $255 million to ultra-Orthodox programs and institutions, including yeshivas...that actually refuse to engage in military conscription...https://www.timesofisrael.com/opposition-mks-voted-to-alloca...
myth_drannon: Ah, reminds of old Soviet joke/song. "if no water is in tap, then the Jews drunk it".Scapegoating is a trait of weak minded.
ohhman11: There would be no public education nor healthcare in Israel without US money.
myth_drannon: Israel has had public education and public healthcare forever, even going back when US had no colored and jews signs in their public spaces.
ceejayoz: > Israel has had public education and public healthcare forever…This also applies to US aid.
inaros: Ah yes...the criticizing Israel is antisemitic argument..."I stand behind the Israeli soldiers; whether there are children or women, it doesn't matter to me if there is damage. There are no innocent civilians in Jenin" - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWWUmuFDgqP/
myth_drannon: the OP wrote that the money went to Israel instead of the American healthcare system. The argument is old, like 1500 years old, "of course the jews stole it!" Canadian health care system is garbage, but at least we don't blame jews for that (for now).
myth_drannon: Nope, Israel had it much earlier.
algo_trader: > Israel has both universal healthcare and tuition free universityThis is both wrong and off topic.Israel health care is funded by a 5% additional income tax tier. non working people pay a significant fixed annual fee.University is not free. $5K for the public institutions - which have limited admissions. $10K for many of the spill over private institutions.Now - about those space lasers ....
Synaesthesia: 5k is almost free. And yes you pay tax to find universities. Makes sense. Paying full tuition in the USA is like paying a tax, only worse, it's a lot more.
etiennebausson: As disgusted as I am with Israel's action over the last 80 years, put the blame where it belong.5k is far from nothing, it is more than enough in any country than subsidize higher education.Which is most of the world at this point.
