I don't think the news is real...

Besides their different political regimes, aren't the people pretty much similar? I could be way of the mark here...

Yep....and those people took it back.Everything s kosher in my book.

That's the crux of the matter in today's world and the Spanish are hypocritical when demanding Gibraltar back.The Russians had an easy time with Crimeea because, illegal as their occupation is, most of the population is pro Russian. The same with Northern Cyprus but that's not the case with...

Actually, the visigots ruled over an allready Christianised Roman population,a population which generally got Christiniased peacefully, as it happened throughout the Roman Empire in the 3rd to 5th century and, as you know, current day Spaniards, be it they Basques, Castilians, Catalans, are...

I have no admiration for them....Wars won by human wave attacks and complete disregard for their soldiers or citizens. Breaking promises, their allies always end up as complete hell holes, a retrograde state with a inferiority complex towards developed Western states talking about evil people...

Yep, Basarabia, roughly current day Moldova. Sign a treaty with them, fight alongside them, only for them to ripp a chunk of your country at the end,breaking all previous promises.....that's Russia for you

If they could do it, they would, regardless of right, wrong, people moaning. Many nations would do many things if they could.Russia certainly doesn't hold back to wipe its "derriere " with international law and treaties....

Indeed,but the Castilians,Aragonese weren't some settlers but people who inhabited those lands and retreated North when the Arab onslaught came and,with time, fought back and reclaimed their land. What's not to admire that they fought for centuries to reclaim what was theirs? It's not called...

I didn't say Cyprus belongs to Greece, it's an independent state according to international law,populated in its majority by Greeks. The Reconquista was one of the first anti colonial struggles spanning over centuries, I believe modern day Spaniards have every reason to celebrate their...

Just for the sake of factual history, 1492 is a reconquest,they just retook what was theirs before. Not even the Greek members in this forum said something about retaking lands or Turks not belonging in their current territories. The only deluded poster was the one above engaging in idiotic...

You could be right, I'm woefully unimformed about Morrocan Algerian territorial disputes.

You should be grateful that I'm wasting my time schooling you, but this is me, always a giver. There's only one answer to childish questions.....by International Law there are NO occupied territories in Morroco.

Nobody said Istanbul is Greek,but it baffles me that you can call a legitimate, internationally recognised as Spanish territory, which the Morrocans lost over 600 years ago as occupied when you hold a city for less time than that. Hypocrisy much?.....

Europeans(Portuguese, Spanish) own Ceuta since 1415, even before the Turks took Constantinople.....they are part of Portugal since then,transmited to Spain in 1580.

What parts ? Surely you can't speak of Ceuta and Melilla who are Spanish for hundreds of years.

This is a very toxic way into indoctrinating your population against an outside group.

This has to be a joke.....Algerians are upset with Morrocans over what 2 ancient kingdoms did over 2100 years ago? LMAO "Remenber that time you sold us to the Romans? And I'm not talking about today's citizens of Rome but the past guys with the lorica segmentata and the testudo formation...

There's only so much you can do for your Armed Forces with a population of under 3 million and a 13 billion $ economy.

Well, I think they need Greece/Cyprus more as that translates having Italy, France,the EU on their side.They have complex military constracts with these countries and they facilitate the much needed access to the European markets for Egyptian gas. The UAE and the Saudis are potent financial...
