Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war after earlier saying the U.S. couldn't use jointly operated military bases there for operations related to the conflict.

Spain has closed its airspace to U.S. planes involved in the Iran war, Defense Minister Margarita Robles said Monday, marking another step in the country’s opposition to the U.S. and Israel’s conflict in the Middle East.

Spain had already said the U.S. could not use jointly operated military bases in the Iran conflict, which Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has described as illegal, reckless and unjust.

Defense Minister Robles said Monday the same logic applied to the use of Spanish airspace in the conflict.

    I feel the need to point out that western culture as such doesn’t really exist. It’s the same as saying ‘Asian Culture’. It’s way too broad of a descriptor to be able to judge it the way you do. US culture differs quite a lot from European cultures for example.

    And what you are describing is true for a lot of cultures/countries that aren’t ‘western’. Consumerism is a global phenomenon.
