And the other Wall's? Second Chapter

Most likely, after the Berlin Wall, the most spoken barrier is what we call the "Trump Wall" in between México and the United States of America. I don´t like Trump presidency, but the wall was there since Clinton times, and the actual presidente wish to fortify and extend the one that already exists. Of course Mexico doesn´t want, but himself made one huge wall in border with Guatemala. And all around the world the reality of the fence or wall, is present, from Europe to Africa, passing by Asia and ending in America. So, is not only between USA and Mexico, but a global problem in the planet, that the midia hypocrisy only talks about one or another, acording to the ideology or geopolitics situation, when is a global reality, and maybe beguins in the personal nead of safety that wich one of us have in is personality. 
Reasons are varied: Since security to imigrations problems, passing by the need to counter the population to run away, or also an ancestral state of war, there are thousands of reasons who leaves to the construction of a fence or wall, especially in border areas.  
Is only the seccond chapter about walls and fences, but i think if we want to talk seriously, much more will come.

Military Parades: Spain


I like military parades a lot, especially the ones from ancient nations with a long military tradition. To bad that cinema and pictures are only two centuries old, so from an old era we  have only some modern reconstructions.
Spain is the other country of Iberic Península, and was formed in XV century after the union of the several kingdoms.  So there's a huge military tradition, with a growing belic industry, from tanks to ships, passing by aeroplanes, that we can see in the great military parades that Spain organizes since at least 1910. 
From fighters Typhoon, to Pizarro infantry vehicles, passing by german and american material, Spain offers a variety in their parades that reflets the need of strong armed forces, in a nation were from Catalunha to Galiza, passing by the Basco's, all want more autonomy or even the independence from central Madrid. Also the situation in North Africa and Mediterranean contributes to one of the powerfull NATO military forces. 
So, airforce and army are strong but also navy (a subjet that we will talk about it in a future article about navy parades). But that's a matter for another time.
