This is EXACTLY what I predicted about a year ago would happen because of Trump.
The article mentions urging more cooperation between EU and China many times in many areas, while at the same time mentioning that cooperation with USA is diminishing. I'm surprised that it is Spain that is the forerunner for EU (again).
But mind my words, this is a signal about what is to come. EU will cooperate much more with China, and USA will not be included or asked or even considered!
That's how bad relations between EU and USA are now. USA demanded to be left out of international obligations, and pissed all over partners and allies, so here you are USA, now you are being left out.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Europe needs a new titty
The spanish premier is a tankie?11/!!/1?

What a moronic take on Pedro Sanchez working to improve relations with China, after USA has become a rogue and very dangerous nation.
No jokes making fun of lemmy users allowed I guess.
There are lots of tankies here, but you are probably one of them considering your username. Tankies often make stupid comments like the one you made.
While it's cute you're repeating your masters' words; tankie has no actual meaning or definition so it's not really an insult. My joke was directed specifically at you people, who have been victim of a multi-hundred billion dollar campaign to completely eliminate all critical thought against enemies of your masters.
Obviously no state is ideal. However if a state did occur that was a threat to capital, how exactly do you think capital would respond? Exactly how your masters have responded. The extreme instant disregard for all facts that could contradict your programming is the exact reaction your masters have spent hundreds of billions instilling, just so you keep doing whatever they want, without getting any real positive change in your life.
American used and sold more tanks than the USSR ever will, idiot
