One cruise missile with the right warhead, which both the Russians and Chinese have, would be sufficient to neutralise Gibraltar.
The UK has no land based anti missile systems, those we have are naval and short range.
Would that neutralise the whole area?
And, having made the first strike, what do you suppose we - and NATO - would do then?
Stop making silly threats, please.

I've wondered about that, and it occurred to me that they could be conventional explosive warheads for lower levels of retaliation or, perhaps, some sort of electronic warfare systems.
Who knows?

It's not a colony but know what? Even if it is SO WHAT? It's our colony and the population like it fine well just as it is.

Your under the illusion that the EU are somehow working on behalf of the 27.... they aren't at all..
The EU has two options..
1. Protect the EU Project
2. Protect the 27
Be prepared to get thrown under a bus by Barnier and co. They will not give up power to save the economies in the 27. The EU is an ideology and only has one objective so if I were you I would be very worried about becoming collateral damage. Countries like yours and Spain and Ireland etc will get the blame. Screwing the people in the 27 is much, much more to the advantage of your elite to get more control and power over you than any trade deal with the UK.
