Amazingly patronizing. Speaking of "insulting" an entire country...
It is not "amazingly patronizing" to expect an ally to consider the
impact on its partners. Especially Spain, which has benefited
handsomely from the EU and the security provided by the western
powers over the last 20 years.
I agree with your idea, but we have hardly treated anyone as partners. And
it seems to me that even you don't think so either. "We provided" doesn't
imply much of a partnership role for the "providee".
And of course if you consider the United States to be just one of the
"partners" then we would, by the above, have to consider their position
just as much as you expect them to see it our way.
