What is Spain's role in the modern imperial system? (hexbear.net)

Obviously Spain has an imperial and colonial history only rivaled by the British and the French, but today it is a far less significant global player. Among EU countries, it's being much more critical of Israel than most of the rest - only much smaller countries like Ireland and Croatia are also critical.

So, what's Spain's deal? Where does it fit into the imperial system? Does it straddle a line between southern European nation internally exploited by the EU ala Greece and imperial power ala France?
