On the Marr show someone was saying Spain are playing with fire if they want to play games with us because we can start too by helping Catalonia get independence.

If it came to war Spain would come off worst.We'd kick their ass.

So Spain sends troops into Gibralter then what d'ya do?

'Si senor it's all yours'

Argentina sends troops into the Falklands?

'Si senor it's all yours'

You know the main job role of a PM is to defend their people right?

Jesus, we've triggered Article 50 a few days ago, and already there's people talking about war with Spain. This country is delusional.

Spain shouldn't get too big for their botas then.They're just using Brexit as an excuse to gain some extra territory.

It gets funnier... now it's Europes fault that May didn't mention Gibraltar in the brexit letter


'The Prime Minister and her Brexit minister David Davis were reportedly tricked into excluding the Rock from the Article 50 letter, which was personally handed to European Council president Donald Tusk on Wednesday.

Gibraltar officials claim Spanish ministers managed to persuade the Department for Exiting the European Union (Dexeu) to omit any mention of the overseas territory - despite lobbying by Gibraltar for inclusion in the wording.'

An Armed conflict with Spain is just stupidity, neither side can declare war, since, NATO Article 5 is a thing.

Quote:
The key section of the treaty is Article 5. Its commitment clause defines the casus foederis. It commits each member state to consider an armed attack against one member state, in Europe or North America, to be an armed attack against them all.
Source

It's just politicians blustering, trying to make themselves out to be 'Defenders of the Realm'. This wont be the another Falklands.

Not staying part of NATO is even stupider than Brexit, which is, pretty damn stupid itself.

And if Spain sent troops into Gibralter then it would be them who is declaring war.Trying to annex a British territory.So you think nato would come to our aid?I doubt it.I think they'd let us sort it out.

I doubt Spain would be that stupid, other countries may keep out of the conflict, but Spain would most likely be ejected from NATO, and even face some trade embargoes. The idea of a modern day conflict in Europe is just... silly. Especially when Russia have been making the moves they have.

Hopefully, Spain generally like to make a lot of noise about stuff like this, but they don't really act on it.
