A BRIEF ANSWER TO @SecScottBessent ON "SPANISH ENERGY" DISREGARDING ANY ACTUAL OR FUTURE GOVERNMENT

"All the blood of Spain to power a drop of light"

"Toda la sangre de España para alumbrar una gota de luz""

"We keep our blood yet"

Preserved blood is the trade of any country https://t.co/uxFsDSK6FQ

The post counters U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's remark on a 2025 Iberian blackout—attributed to excessive renewables—by adapting poet Ramón de Campoamor's verse on Spain's flag to critique energy sacrifices yielding minimal gains.

Bessent's interview on Real America's Voice also faults Spain for NATO underfunding and leniency toward Venezuela's Maduro regime, framing it as a broader European economic cautionary tale amid recent grid reforms.

The reply's closing lines—"We keep our blood yet; Preserved blood is the trade of any country"—evoke national endurance, prioritizing resource conservation over foreign judgments on policy or reliability.
