There's what you say and what you do. I wouldn't be surprised if they called it an act of war. However, a violent response is highly unlikely.

They probably would not call it an act of war without backing it up --so I doubt they would. If they did bluff and get called, next time hostilities flared up with Peru or Columbia, they might not be taken seriously.
