Seems about right to me, EU will simply bury head in sand, retreat to it's usual, insular, protectionist position & screw Catalonia over

The currency used in purchasing freedom is blood. Godspeed Catalonia!

The UK should announce its recognition of Catalonia as an independent nation. Even if it¡¯s just to piss off The EU.

Spanish army cannot be used against civilians in home country. It would be a recognition of independence of Catalonia by the Spanish State

Contrast Germany¡¯s immediate non-recognition of #Catalonia independence in 2017 w/ its immediate recognition of Croatia independence in 1991

I don't know much about Catalonia but after seeing the brutality of the Spanish jack boots I'd like to see Trump give them recognition.
