🎭 A Spanish Class on Conflict, Budgets, and Global Bluffing 🌍

How (Not) to Start World War III

NATO, Taiwan, and the 2% Lie That Might Get Us All Killed

Join us for a timely and ironic Spanish class that dives into what could be the opening credits of the next global disaster: China eyeing Taiwan, Russia poking NATO, and world leaders playing budget games while standing on a powder keg.

NATO’s shiny 2% defense goal? Trump says it’s a joke — he wants 5% or he’s out. Mark Rutte, NATO’s new boss, says we’d better not be naive.
So we’re asking:
Are we prepared… or are we pretending?

Expect rich vocabulary, political drama, and a healthy dose of satire — all in Spanish.

🎯 What’s on the Agenda?

✅ Context: What could trigger World War III — and would anyone see it coming?
✅ Language Focus: Spanish vocabulary around war, alliances, budgets, and political threats.
✅ Debate: Does throwing more money at defense actually stop wars… or just buy time?
✅ Comparison: Trump’s 5% ultimatum vs. Europe’s reluctant wallets.
✅ Satire & Reflection: A critical (and slightly ridiculous) look at the theater of global power plays.
