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.
True story: When France did that during the Iraq War, the Congressional Cafeteria changed the name of French Fries to Freedom Fries.
So I guess we’ll be seeing Freedom Rice in the cafeteria.
The word fiancé is French so I had to refer to my wife as my freedom partner before we got married.
You couldn’t waterboard that cringe out of me
I remember when I thought that was the dumbest possible thing that could come from US politics.
It was a more innocent time.
Ill have the freedom paella plz
I have a restaurant near me that still calls them Freedom Fries. I do not go their much but their club sandwich is amazing.
Is Freedom Rice, is that the new white rice that POTUS wants?
Orange rice.
Frankly, it was the only food I could think of with Spanish in the name. I suppose I could have gone with the Freedom Flu.
That flu didn’t even originate from Spain. It was just the first country that reported it to the mass media first.
