And definitely nothing to do with Spain refusing to let Trump use it to launch bombing campaigns against Iran that made him and his family so much money in oil insider trading?

Honestly, it’s disingenuous and untrue to pretend that the orange regime and orangeboi are maintaining the status quo ante. They’re demonstrably not. That’s not me defending the US or its foreign policy and history thereof (especially in the Cold War) - I’m just saying that being reductively naive about these things meaningfully understates how fucking idiotic and destructive the regime is in so, so many dimensions.
