Before any argies get on here with their nonsense, I am reminded that the place that is now called argieland rebelled against Spain in protest against Spain's imperialist, colonialist ways. Spain has “progressed”. It is now imperialist, colonialist and fascist. It has recently demonstrated that it can get pretty low by aligning itself with argieland. No doubt its next move will be to align itself with Iran, Syria and North Korea. Isn't there a saying about knowing someone by the company they keep?

Agreed, Spain can't be imperialist over its own territory.

But Gibraltar is not Spanish territory.

4 malen. “You are the only imperialists on this history.” Malen do you know anything about history?. The Spanish colonial empire pre-dates the English/British (depending on the 1707 rule) empire by centuries. Why do you think South america is Latin america. Apart from the fact you speak a colonial language and you live in socialites constructed by colonial settlers.

Spain colonises land in Morrocco.
Spain is after Portuguese Islands.
Spain denies Catalonia independence, like it once tried to stop South American states from autonomy.
Spain gave Britain Gibraltar in a signed treaty.

But then Spain and Argentina do not abide by treaties.

Therefore Spain=Imperialist Bully, like it's daughter, Argentina.

The problem, like for you Argentine imperialists, is that the UK is in the way of Spain's imperialist ambitions.

Ah yes, I have missed the power shift where Spain now grovels to Argentina. So Argentina have been successful, at something......
Credit where credit is due.
