Indeed

Same Dpain that recals the ambassador from Israel, yet apointed a new one to russia in 2024? Seems like double standarts - with israel take the strong line, but with russia nothing.

He refuses increase defence spending when 71 cents of each dollar spent on EU defence spending goes to the US arms manufacturers. That’s a fact and he’s not playing by Trump’s BS rules anymore. Read up dude.

He is enormously respected by Europeans, and has done more to stand up to the fascism of Israel and the US than any other European leader. His words do help by reminding us of what’s right and wrong.

He has agreed with NATO to increase spending to 2.1% of GDP, and has already achieved 2%, increasing spending by 43% in one year. He HASN'T agreed to Trump's unilateral demand that all NATO countries increase spending to 5% of GDP, which is absurd. Even the US 'only' spends about 3.5% of GDP.

OK, possibly, what damage therefrom? "Spain's willingness to participate in the development of the security guarantee scheme ... Spain's commitment to ... reconstruction efforts ... Spain's support for Ukraine's accession to the EU" - the first are soldiers, the last the most important.

Refuses to fund the very same country that is harassing europe.

Spain has given $3bn to Ukraine and taken in many Ukrainian refugees.

As being spectacularly useless? Of running his country into the ground? Of overseeing catastrophic youth unemployment?

Sure beats the hell out of Franco

El juego de la democracia es así. Lo demás es otra cosa diferente.

You can count the Australian Government and our Prime minister, Albo in that flock of spineless geese.(no offense to geese)

This, 💯. Same: You cannot send masked armed thugs aiming tear gas and guns at citizens in a peaceful community, and then act surprised that they protest, offer support to their victimized neighbors, and capture your brutality on camera. Same: You cannot say you are pro life and detain toddlers.

European leaders are not truly spineless. They maneuver thoughtfully between the old world and the new. If they were all to follow the Spanish leader, it would amount to recklessness. The truly spineless are found in half of the US electorate and the GOP.

Spain has sent at least a frigate to the gulf to support other NATO vessels. So I don’t know what he is talking about. Pedro Sanchez is a known liar too. Don’t be fooled by his theatrics.

No a la guerra! #SpainPride

Spain has recent memories of dictatorship. They'd rather not.

Well tbf Sanchez ain't the only one to bite back against Trumps idiocy. The UK, Ireland, Norway amongst others have taken a stand against it.

Omg I had the same thought 🤣

What choice do they have. If the straits don’t open up and they don’t help the gulf states get their oil out they will have to abandon Ukraine and buy oil from Putin. in the very short term (3 months or less) they can’t switch to renewables.

Absolutely!!!!

Spain doesn't want issues with Morocco to avoid problems in the Spanish territories in North Africa (Canary Islands, Ceuta, and Melilla mostly). Morocco would like to have and control those strategic zones.

👎👎👎

Thank you kindly. 😁

Europe's leaders are lame? No

Yes.

yes most are spineless just like our Congress

Glad there are still leaders that make sense! Our Country excluded.

But..Trump has stated that he won. So why does he need support? Anyway, fuck Trump and those who voted for him. He started this bullshit war. He can damn well deal with it himself. Plus the fact that he's spent the last 12 months or so putting shit on the Europeans. What a weak scumbag.

It’s easy to be brave when you don’t have the weight of nations on your shoulders. Simplistic solutions to complex problems are for populists and, in this case, Trump.

The European leaders are hardly spineless, as shown again, today, in condemnation of the US easing sanctions on russia. We really need to start moving away from this narrative because its quite simply - not true.

A different kind of populist illiberal? www.populismstudies.org/illiberal-in...

What has he done for Ukraine? I've heard very little...

Totally agree!

El problema ocupa NO existe. Es todo falso

And if you’re interested on the impact of immigration on the Spanish economic performance you can check this one www.google.com/search?q=inm...

If you’re genuinely interested in debt over GDP data here you can check it ( worldpopulationreview.com/country-rank... , 102 % over GDP for Spain not the highest.

I ❤️ 🇪🇸 In a continent full of chamberlains

The messes the pedo regime makes!

The EU needs to step up to its responsibilities and place economic sanctions on the USA

Sanchez stands out for being even more spineless than the others?

And yet the far right is rising precipitously in Spain (close to 20% of the expected vote). The 2027 election might well see a right-wing gov't. The "regular" right + the extreme = 55%. That's absolute majority, which in Spain's system means they can pretty much pass any law without opposition.

I think you've misunderstood this post

Sure you guys aren't spineless. That's why you guys aren't all blasting America and Israel warmongering. You guys still won't do anything about them. And let them destroy earth

They are spineless. They bow to Trump. They are a disgrace to the EU.

Take note @albomp.bsky.social ! That’s called leadership! 🇦🇺😢

Bravo
