"breakdown of international law" - who did it, KRASNOV did it (after breakdown of domestic norms). Thanks, Spain.

Hip hip, but Searching for a pic of SANCHEZ, what is the first thing that pops up? Why, an older news item, unrelated to now, saying he's (was?) considering stepping down, sheesh.

Spain's Pedro Sánchez hits back at Trump threat to sever trade saying 'no to war'

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has delivered a strong rebuttal to US President Donald Trump's threat to end trade with Spain by restating his opposition to war and what he called the "breakdown of international law".

In a 10-minute televised address, Sánchez reflected on the wars in Ukraine and Gaza as well as the Iraq War more than 20 years ago and said the Spanish government's position could be summed up as "no to war". ....

Merz said later he had told Trump very clearly that he could not conclude a separate trade agreement with Germany or all of Europe but not with Spain.

In response to the US economic threat, the Élysée Palace said French President Emmanuel Macron had conveyed his "solidarity" with Spain, during a phone conversation with Sánchez on Wednesday. European Council President António Costa also said he had spoken to the Spanish leader "to express the EU's full solidarity". ....

1. Similar to the breakdown of international law after the assassination of the Archduke of Austria...

...that many historians say was the catalyst that began World War I.

This regime of incompetents is playing with fire and we are the ones that will get burned.

4. "regime of incompetents" - a DUer posted viewing "Death of Stalin" and the mayhem

that ensued over a successor since all of his subordinates were sycophants, chosen for loyalty not merit, idiots worse than him.

****Separately, why do the principled types leave?
