What I don’t understand about this is when it first happened they marched a lot of these animals right out.

Why can’t they just do the same with these?

Ceuta as a Strategic Chokepoint

Ceuta, Spain’s autonomous city on Morocco’s northern coast, is a strategic chokepoint because it sits at the western entrance to the Mediterranean, directly opposite the Iberian Peninsula and close to the Strait of Gibraltar — one of the world’s most important maritime passages De-Facto.

Geographic and Strategic Role
Location: Between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, with Melilla across the coast Wikipedia.

Strait of Gibraltar: Connects the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, with about 100,000 vessels passing through annually De-Facto.

Control point: Ceuta and Melilla are the EU’s only external land borders in Africa, making them critical for both migration control and maritime security Wikipedia.

Why It Matters
Trade and energy: The Strait of Gibraltar is a key route for European trade and energy imports, especially when alternative routes (e.g., Suez, Bab-el-Mandeb) face disruption De-Facto+1.

Geopolitical leverage: Morocco’s control over Ceuta gives it influence over Spain and EU policy, while Spain’s control is vital for Mediterranean access De-Facto.

Global trade parallels: Historically, Ceuta was the first chokepoint recognized by the Portuguese in their global trade strategy, alongside Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb LinkedIn.

“ it was the kind of place where you’d throw down a towel, order an ice-cold spritz, and wonder why you don’t live there.”

Because TIA.

Belt fed would cure some of this and help prevent much of it from happening in the future.

Tijuana comes to Spain’s island. Given their recent leanings, good for them.

Why isn’t Sanchez calling for a “two-state solution”? How curious!

I guess a Bikini Island removal is needed here. If we cannot have it, no one can.

Meanwhile, for Spain, this is analogous to when Pizarro invaded South America looking for those cities of gold. The only difference is the local military may be armed with rifles, not blow guns this time. Assuming they have the will use them. If not, how do you say: please get off my land.

Spain should simply abandon non-contiguous Ceuta, pull out and leave the filthy Muslim barbarians to their devices. Of course the Spaniards would need to raise the drawbridge behind them.

I thought there was magical soil where Africans and other assorted turd worlders stopped their turd world ways once they touched it.

What I can’t figure out is why no one asks them why they can’t have a “better life” in a country run by Muslims? Why do they always have to come to Christian countries to get that “better life?”

Once the cockroaches get in to the walls you may as well burn down that beach house down ..... because spraying just won’t do it....

Note there are few if any women in that wave of trash washing up on that beach, it’s all mainly men and boys of military age.

Can you say invasion......

I knew you could....
