Spanish Paranoia
The Spanish news is constantly talking about all these Russian "intruding aircraft" (their words). They look at it like a threat to the rest of Europe, and suggest that Russia is planning against us...
But the Spanish are quite paranoic; for example, they are very anti-american, and constantly suggest the existance of US Government conspiracies.
just giving you a small taste of Europe's Private Thirld World Country
Just as well they limit the US military presence in their country to one major fleet base and 2 airbases, then.
