Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares

Spain, upholding international law unlike other cowards, has banned the United States from using its bases for a War of Aggression.

Spain's FM: "Spanish bases are not being used for this operation, and they will not be used for anything not included in the agreement with the United States."

Following international law is bravery, breaking it for your own self interests is cowardice and tyranny. Spain is on the right path.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez on Iran:

“Remember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.”

Is this AI 🤔

Sure, be happy Russia's ally is down, but violating international law and waging wars of aggression is exactly what allowed Russia to do it in Ukraine and others; Iran isn't the only bad guy in this war, the US and Israel are just as guilty as Russia.

I get Iran gave Russia drone; backed them in the invasion of Ukraine, but let's not forget that US & Israel refused to strike Iranian drone factories at the height of their production. While knocking out Iran is a positive, it has nothing to do with Ukraine; also, it legitimizes Russia's invasion.

Is this AI?

US and allies

Russia and allies

Don’t trust anything. If I were faking it, I would Photoshop it, then have AI render it again, crop it, adjust the contrast, and that’s it. This image likely captures the equivalent of half a second if real, or it is a very clever forgery. In either case, it affects nothing except US ego.

One hand is holding his head, the other is holding a stick. Holding your head is a response in a stressful situation, especially when there is a language barrier and possibility of confrontation. It is likely the image was taken at a particular moment, and these are two people trying to communicate.

See what you want to see, but the fence is there

While the argument for AI fails, there is another much more traditional form of manipulation which would be photoshop although this could just be distortion from being copy and pasted repeatedly and shared; in either case the image has been floating for 8 hours and in media before being posted here.

I noticed people mention this was AI, but that's unverified. A quick check shows one image appears to be from a Snapchat shared on Telegram, and the other is from a video of the same event. Both have the same background and similar objects at different angles. Image also enhanced from the original.

Nothing terrifies oligarchs and corrupt more than the idea of thousands of people breaking through their elaborate security lines and proceeding to beat them to death. That’s the true power behind an anti-regime protest, not that you are going to harm someone but that they feel it’s possible.

The damage the US as a whole has done to the world cannot be understated.

Trump opening a de facto 2nd front with Greenland has done more damage to Ukraine than is being let on. The US has proven it will betray the alliance and therefore called into question just how much Ukraine will be able to depend on it, this affects battlefield decisions as logistics takes priority.

At the end of the day Ukraine has very limited resources and manpower; Russia while losing twice as many people can still keep launching assaults and human meat waves at a larger capacity and if left this way it will eventually overwhelm all defenses no matter how efficient or brave defenders are.

Ukraine is in the back burner attention wise but otherwise doing fairly well holding off Russia still, unfortunately that doesn’t translate to Ukraine is winning but simply to it keeping itself from being overran. The decline in public facing support was to be expected

The only people who have ever asked me to hack or leak anything are people who wanted to arrest or entrap me. To their disdain I am very anti-social and liberal with the use of the word no and fuck off.
