Right now the difficulty lies in keeping the planes from being moving targets. There is already a sizable number of people that would rather buy Grippons than F35s. Right or wrong, they will use this to further their cause.
Spain has said the US should be mindful of international law and bilateral trade agreements with the European Union, after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut off all trade with the country for refusing to let the US military use its bases for missions linked to strikes on Iran.
“We have the necessary resources to contain the possible impact of the trade embargo by the US,” the Spanish government said in a statement on Tuesday.
“The US must comply with international law and bilateral EU-US trade agreements,” it added. This should almost go in the Tariffs thread ‘cuz I can almost smell those tariffs coming.
“Spain actually said that we can't use their bases, and that's all right,” Trump said. “We could use their base if we want — we could just fly in and use it. Nobody's going to tell us not to use it, but we don't have to. But they were unfriendly, and so I told them, we don't want to.” Sounds like Spain might become an Honourary member of the Western Hemisphere.
