Spain isn't third world, it already had shown the middle finger to Trump and also has few to do with Rusia. Third world countries don't certainly mean people starving, the people there often have all what they need, but this, you'll see few Ferraries there and chalets with swimming pool. Someone is rich, not necesarly because a lot of money, but because he need only few. We often enter in a rabbit hole of the consumism, spending a lot of money in things we really don't need, we work like a dog to have enough money to pay a journey to Hawaii to recover us from the burnout, which we wouldn't have working less, no needing this journey.
Have you been to Spain? I'm not saying it is not better than where the US is headed to, but it's a "western" country in Europe, with all the issues that come with it. Somewhat social market economy, but still suffering from the usual issues, including people driving Ferraris while others sleep on the street.
Also, at least since Franco I don't think anyone genuinely thinks of Spain as third world.
Well, I'm from Spain, also in Spain there are People with Ferraries (few) and also poor people, but there is nobody without food, because Spain has a strong social system and free healthcare for everyone. Nothing, absolute nothing to do with the US, it's the opposite in almost everything. Luckily Spain has also little dependency on the US or Rusia, so it is also not much affected by Trumps Tariffs or Rusian Gaspolicy. Trump hates Spain.
