Yeah, the people who are planning to “move to Spain” might be in for a bit of a surprise when they get there.

For those who are dismissing Trump because he acted like a “Neocon” (as you say) during his presidency 2017-2021:

What he did against Russia and for Ukraine during his presidency 2017-2021 was beyond spectacular.

That’s one of the many reasons I continue to support Trump.
Supporting Trump policies doesn’t make me a neocon, it makes me a Trumpist.

Trump is the one who started the sanctions against Russia.

Trump is the one who INITIATED large shipments of high-tech US weaponry to Ukraine so they could better defend themselves against the Russian invaders.

Why did Trump do that? Because he wants nation’s BORDERS to be respected, not violated. What Trump wants for America, he wants the same for America’s allies.

He likes BORDERS. Respected BORDERS.
