## Resource

Spain closed its airspace. Italy shut Sigonella base mid-flight. France blocked military supply overflights. Poland, Austria, Switzerland — all said no. And now Saudi Arabia temporarily pulled U.S. access to Prince Sultan Airbase and shut down Trump's Project Freedom in under 36 hours. Retired Navy Commander Bobby R.
