Um. we are supposed to be smart people. There is no law of war. there are on the other hand agreements. And there are international agreements. And almost without exception international agreements rely upon natural law (non-provocation). Spain is violating the principle of non-provocation, and violating the principle of natural law, where natural law is the method of decidabilty we use in international agreements, the purpose of which is to ensure non-provocation, and therefore a reduction of war. Spain is attempting to reclaim Gibraltar but it is (as most weak nations do) a bit of theatre for the voters and nothing more. The people of Gibraltar are british citizens, they desire to be (who wouldn’t), the territory is British by long tradition and mutual agreement, and britan could eradicate the entirety of the spanish navy, airforce and army as a training exercise.

So lets be the smart people. Spain violated britan’s territorial waters in an effort to defend the pride of the voters.
