@Pwnallthethings Spain: consistently pro-tapas.

@Pwnallthethings Spain not joining in on sides in a European land war? Color me shocked.

@Pwnallthethings Spain literally changed its time zone to be in sync with Germany. Don’t expect Spain to jump until Germany says so.

@Pwnallthethings Remarkable how institutionalized Ramstein has become. Like a bona fide international conference, groups of likeminded countries get together ahead of time to develop common positions on what will and won’t be in the final communique. Expectation setting, sometimes ceiling sometimes floor, by announcing $s & undertakings pledges in advance. Useful to put pressure on big countries and recalcitrant hold-outs. If the conference gets really lucky, pledges can stimulate a bidding game
