Spain really does not contribute much to NATO, since they refuse to have their combat troops (the very few that they do have) exercise with the other NATO troops. So tactically they are useless. They do claim to provide some “logistical” support, which we can get from the Germans and about a half a dozen other countries. They even said they were going to pull their troops out of Kosovo, one of the very few military responsibilities they did have. Other than allowing some of our NATO ships to dock at one or two of their ports and maybe a few of our planes landing at their air bases, Spain doesn’t really do much for us. So my suggestion is to just say “See Ya.” They need us way more than we need them, so we can easily just cast them adrift and let them become another Sweden, which is what they really want to be anyway. We really shouldn’t be worrying about a country that does almost nothing for us anyway.
