>War with the bongs would prevent the annual summer vacation money that Spain relies on to not collapse in on itself
That's fucking lame
>Reeeeee why can't x country start a completely senseless war over a literal sliver of territory
Because strong man diplomacy and territorial annexation rarely ever works in the modern day. Spain and the UK are friends and partners in both trade and defense, and Spain heavily relies on fat British people and American college students to maintain their tourism economy. If anything, the UK may one day cede the Rock back to Spain peacefully in exchange for some lucrative trade deal.

Shut up gay didn't read. Look up Palestine.

I know geography is hard for you my dear amerilard, but Spain is not Mexico and there are barely any U.S tourists here as compared to europeans.
Also, beyond the memes, Gibraltar is a tinny rock the size of a small town that is not even located at the clossest point of the strait. Spain stills maintains the control of both sides thanks to Algeciras and Ceuta and all the waters in the strait are Spain's. So what is the point of starting a war with a friend for a useless rock?
American college students like going to Europe. It's not nearly as big a market as the European customer but ignoring the rich kids' free money because you're incomprehensibly angry about America's superiority is just dumb.
Yeah, Gibraltar is already quite irrelevant in the big scheme of things. Even Ceuta and Melilla are more important.
Spaniards are more pissed about Gibraltar being a tax haven than it being a national security issue.
I think it's more likely that if the UK seriously started considering ceding it then Gibraltar would just push for its own independence, and join the EU on its own as yet another tiny country - you've got Monaco, lichtenstein, malta, Andorra etc. etc. already.
It’s because our gun laws carried over from the Franco era, plus we had a bunch of left wing terrorists bombing and shooting people till the 2000s. I have a class B license here which I only got because I’m in the civil guard
You actually think a brit would not know the answer to this question?

No really LOL. Its not even a military problem anymore for Spain but a spiritual one.

Actually when I was there I was surprised how not full of posh southern English people it was. The local population is very much Iberian but fiercely pride themselves on not being Spanish. They've not been Spanish for longer than the USA has been a country remember.
No reason for the Islamic state of the UK to even hold it anymore since modern technology has killed off gunpowder cannons

Also how would the UK even hold it these days?
Britain has a navy, including some of the world's stealthiest submarines loaded with nuclear weapons.
bong navy is much larger, so they could just get their revenge by raiding spanish shipping

Why go to war with a trading partner over a rock?
Because we are cowards.
Spain should make civilian ownership of firearms legal.

Wtf is with all these nationalist bong threads?
