Can 2 Nato nations go to war even? Jesus what a sorry state of affairs. Theresa Mays silence isn't helpful either.

Not really no, I really don't have an opinion about Gib but listened to Howard invoking Thatcher and The Falkland Islands and thought, "that's a bit off" he really should have kept his mouth shutOptimisticJock wrote:Only if you really really want to be irate about something.caldeyrfc wrote:What Howard said yesterday could be interoperated as suchOptimisticJock wrote:Nobody has threatened to go to war.

There's a huge difference between "a bit off" and threatening war, so aye, it's only being interpreted as the latter by those that are wanting to be upset about something.caldeyrfc wrote:Not really no, I really don't have an opinion about Gib but listened to Howard invoking Thatcher and The Falkland Islands and thought, "that's a bit off" he really should have kept his mouth shutOptimisticJock wrote:Only if you really really want to be irate about something.caldeyrfc wrote: What Howard said yesterday could be interoperated as such

“Thirty-five years ago this week, another woman prime minister sent a taskforce halfway across the world to defend the freedom of another small group of British people against another Spanish-speaking country, and I’m absolutely certain that our current prime minister will show the same resolve in standing by the people of Gibraltar,”

Some idiots in charge. Face Trump off with some other narcissistic egomaniac in charge of an arsenal. Who knows what could happen?Lizard wrote:What would cause a war?.
If I wished to be pedantic, I could point out that in that instance, war was started by the Argentines invading the Falklands, so war won't happen unless Spain invaded Gibraltar. Which isn't going to happen no matter how heated the debate gets.Zhivago wrote:It is an implicit threat.OptimisticJock wrote:Nobody has threatened to go to war.

NATO does. This won't end in a war. It's posturing, a bit clumsy but Howard isn't near power and everyone is entitled to their opinion. Sadly some clowns say it too loudly.J Dory wrote:Does the EU come with defense of the Union commitments? Imagine some populist cnut gets into power in Britain and decides to go to war over Gibraltar. Pre-Trump and Brexit I would have said impossible, at some point in the evening of the US election I realized anything is possible.
