Why is a "top Rubio ally" even weighing in on Spanish sovereign territory? Like, what's the play here? Just stirring the pot for... what, exactly?

Gotta keep that 'ally' status by supporting random claims, I guess.

Ceuta and Melilla have been Spanish for centuries, predating modern Morocco by hundreds of years. This isn't some post-colonial grab; they're integral parts of Spain with long-established populations. It's like someone saying Gibraltar isn't British.

History isn't always the end-all, be-all when populations shift and borders are constantly contested. Times change.
