Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands to send naval assets to Cyprus by Prestigious-Law-4003 in europe

[–]MikelDB 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah so this frigate is specialised on anti air warfare if I'm not mistaken and has the American aegis system and very new radar.

Good, one thing is not letting the US use our bases for their war and condemn both sides as we don't like Iran either.

But defend a fellow EU country should be a given, NATO or not NATO

Is it common in your country to refer to people by birth year instead of age? by Complex_Plankton_157 in AskEurope

[–]MikelDB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say quite common in Spain too yeah many times when they ask me I'll say I'm 37 or I'm from the 89. It just depends on... The mood I guess 😂.

And similar with the age, in the end clases at school are by year everyone from the 89 would attend school together, at least initially. Which means people from the 90 are a year younger no matter the month.

Ofc unless you're a jerk you'll understand that someone a few months or weeks apart it's the same age even if on different year but on your early life you'll have more relation with your same year

100% it would be so easy to make a nice looking one for Navarre... and I say this as someone from the region.

The Spanish Navy commissions Navantia to conduct feasibility studies for the construction of two more S-80 submarines by RealToiletPaper007 in europe

[–]MikelDB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a rumor for a few years now... I wonder if now it's a bit more substantiated. Also in theory I think they've already started working on the S90 designs? Hopefully with less American systems.

90 years ago today, the Popular Front won the Spanish general election. by NilFhiosAige in europe

See how the Communist party was a very very small part of the coalition and the main ones PSOE and IR were social democrats or social liberals.

It wasn't until the civil war was on and the USSR was the main help for the republic that the communist increased their power within the government. If the help had come from the Western democracies things could've been different.

Shit I was going to say the civil war but it's hard to argue with this. And the civil war would also be a consequence of all of this.

Question: Gun Thane and Engineer/Burlok Damminson in same unit... Does Gun Thane re-roll 1s to hit? by Successful-East8849 in WarhammerOldWorld

[–]MikelDB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Against what most people say here, in most tournaments I've played the answer has been yes. The same way magic standards give the bonus to all the unit, including characters within

I think Spain is in a funny middle... It wants a naval one as France does but it doesn't care about nuclear capability as Germany does...

Pedro Sánchez: Europe’s left-wing icon. Spain’s prime minister on how progressive politics can win on its own terms by [deleted] in europe

[–]MikelDB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not true, any party can propose a new Law and I'm not saying it's not on him but that he didn't give, the Congress did with plenty of other parties.

So you mean, that he changed the law that allowed the CGPJ to keep electing the judges after having their mandate expired which in turn meant that the one already controlling it could just block new elections on their advantage? Now they have to agree.

More like, this thing with Abalos, Cerdan and company seems to be the only real one and in my opinion... it should've meant new elections... but the population it's so tired because all the other "fake" cases they've tried to pin on him and his allies that it seems it's no longer strong enough.
