Party (PP) Defence Minister Pedro Morenés justified the agreement
saying, “Given the worsening situation in further areas close to our
territory, we have reached an agreement for the US to expand its

regional stability and common mechanisms of peace in Africa, southern
Europe and the Middle East.”
This argument turns reality on its head.
