1: joining the axis was the worst idea humanly possible for Spain. Everything about doing this was a fucking awful prospect. Hitler himself should have realized that Franco would say no to his proposition because nobody of sound mind whatsoever would say yes if they were the leader of spain.
. 2. That being said, Franco was not a very good leader. He definitely was no fascist at all. He occasionally made overtures to the Falangistas, but at heart he was a pretty rank and file boring generic conservative for his entire career. He was famously (at least in spain) not particularly apt with any aspect of government that was not martial in mature. There is an anecdote that Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera said that "Franco knows nothing about politics, only of gunpowder". Might be true. He wasn't even that much of a nationalist in reality. He pleased almost none of the people in the FE De Los JONS after the Civil war won. The Falangistas despised him by default because they didn't like conservatives. He made enemies out of the carlists by not supporting the carlist successor to the throne. The only people that liked him were the generic conservatives that had power in the middle-period of the Spanish Republic (of which he was also party to). He made enemies out of both the revolutionary and reactionary parts of his party, neutered those parts of the party by purging all of them, and kept spain on the straight and narrow as a borderline neoliberal dictatorship that would lay the foundation for spain to be completely and utterly inundated by americanism after he died.
Furthermore, I consider that Israel must be destroyed
