The leftist Sumar and IU parties threatened to leave the government if the contract was executed, so the “socdem” PSOE has canceled the contract.

    It’s the other way around — Spain was purchasing bullets from Israel in order for Spain to fulfill its commitment of 2% GDP toward military spending for NATO.

    They’re still wrong, but for different reasons.

      That’s so fucking bleak. Israel whines to daddy USA for more bullets while selling bullets to Spain because Spain needs bullets because daddy USA isn’t funding NATO enough

      An oroborous but the snake is made of bullets

        Zionist need more bombs to drop on hospitals. They use lots of bombs, but not a lot of bullets because their soldiers are all little coward piss-babies who are too scared of getting taken prisoner that they don’t have infantry to be outside the tank and shoot the Hamas guys who run up and put a bomb on the tank and blow it up.

          the Hamas guys who run up and put a bomb on the tank and blow it up.

          One of the wildest, craziest, bravest things I have ever seen.

          I’ll be dying on a morphine drip 50 years from now and I’ll turn to my grandchildren and say “did I ever tell you the story of that Hamas video of the guy who put a bomb on a tank” and they’ll cut me off and say “yes, yes gramps, and how he exposed himself a second time to shoot the bomb on the tank to detonate it. Only like a thousand times.”

          And my eyes will go out of focus and I’ll smile. “Craziest fucking thing I ever saw.” And then I’ll die.

        This has to be some sort of financial engineering, Spain had been sending weapons to Israel for years now and now they’re buying weapons from them? This has to be money laundering.
