This is what happens when you allow your military power to diminish too much and be deployed to support actions not in your own interest ... the politicians of nations in economic trouble start thinking they can make waves about things that were settled (and enshrined in legal treaties) centuries ago.

First we had the Argies kicking up a fuss over the Falkland Isles, yet again (like they didn't learn anything the last time) and now we have the Spanish showing their teeth over Gibraltar :sigh:.

It's our naval base ... you can't have it ... the residents don't want you and have said so twice in the past few decades ... so shut up and go away.

It appears Gibraltar was ceded by Spain in the Treaty of Utrecht 1713.....So whats next, they want Sicily, Netherlands, Naples, Sardinia, Milan, parts of Brazil, and Uruguay back too.

Does Morocco want back the Spanish cities there? We had a nice view of Ceuta when we went to Gibralter last summer.

I can't get mad at the Spanish. They have some of the hottest woman in the world. That may be due to a 6th grade crush on my Spanish teacher she was from Seville Spain.
