I'm from Spain, the first which showed the middle finger to the US
Spains been pretty good this last decade I'll give ya that
Also the first to show the middle finger to the Americas =P
The first which declared Palestina an independent State and Netanyahu an genocide criminal, Netanyahu cannot set foot on Spanish territory, because there is an arrest warrant against him.
The first saying to Trump that they are not willing to pay 5% in defense, buying US weapons, because social services, education and health care are more important
The first declaring the Iran War illegal, closing the US bases in Spain and the use of US military flights in its territory (also for Weapons to Israel)
Only after this, some other EU countries began to follow this policy, only Germany is still resilent.
Trump hates Spain, even threatening to expel Spain from NATO (which he can't) and with high taxes (which he also can't, and also with Spain's little dependence on US products it is way more harmful to the US than to Spain). As said, a good middle finger.

Yeah, I'm not hating on Spain, but I couldn't resist mentioning the conquistador thing, especially since I was reading about the Aztecs yesterday.
Yes, an stupid attempt by the far right major of Madrid, Isabel Ayuso, to sabotage the good relation made by or President with Mexico. Luckily Sheinbaum kicked her out of Mexico. Spain has a left wing policy, but sadly also a strong far right opposition, which try everything to sabotage and obstruct all policy made, lucily mostly in a pretty stupid and ovious way.
So early, in fact, that they went ahead and showed the middle finger to everyone living there before the US even existed as a country.
