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?

Well I appreciate your broad approach and looking at it from a variety of lenses. There are, as you correctly point out, many ways to analyze the imperial system, and I'd be interested in hearing about it from whatever perspectives comrades on here are knowledgeable about.
