Re: Like the Romans before them,the Spanish made conquest and plunder - not industry, production, trade, and commerce - their economic goal
Conquest and plunder precisely describes the history of the USA, not Spain. The American Indian was all but wipred off the face of the the USA.
According to USA standards of “color/race”, all of Central America, and almost all of South America is inhabited by Indians. The proof of “conquest and plunder” is there in the population, for those with eyes to see, to see. Spain was used by God as an instrument for spreading of the true faith to Indians of good will.
I don’t care who you are, THAT’s funny!
Excellent use of verbal irony/sarcasm.
