IPNEWS: In a shocking display of weakness from a supposed NATO partner, socialist Spain has slammed the door on American forces, refusing to let joint bases at Rota and Morón support critical refueling operations for the decisive U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran’s terrorist regime. Defense Minister Margarita Robles declared “absolutely none” assistance would be provided, citing vague appeals to “international law” while the mullahs’ nuclear ambitions and proxy attacks on allies demand action.
Flight tracking confirms the result: Nine KC-135 Stratotankers—vital for extending U.S. airpower—were forced to depart Spanish soil, heading straight to reliable partners.
Thank God for Germany. Berlin has welcomed these essential tankers to Ramstein Air Base, allowing seamless refueling missions to continue without interruption. While Spain cowers and virtue-signals, Germany demonstrates real alliance solidarity—providing U.S. forces the access needed to degrade Iran’s missile capabilities, protect American troops, and secure the free world from Tehran’s aggression.
This isn’t just logistics; it’s a clear divide in NATO. Spain’s leftist government chooses de-escalation talk over standing with America against a clear threat. Germany chooses strength and reliability.
America’s mission presses on—stronger because true allies like Germany have our back. Spain? Time to reconsider that free ride under the U.S. security umbrella.
Stand firm, support our troops, and thank Germany for showing what real partnership looks like.
