Argentina is up to it AGAIN. trouble is brewing in the Falklands...

[Mike70]

and this time, I'd be all for the US going down there with the UK and giving the Argentines an ass whipping that they'll be writing epic poetry about a 1,000 years from now.

jumped up, pantry boy fucking third world countries with delusions of grandeur irritate the hell out of me.

not having an aircraft carrier in service is like an open invitation to argentina to start putting on airs.

I think the Argies would be in for a shock if they tried it again, seen as they'd be throwing inexperienced troops against a modern army with 10 years combat experience in Iraq & Afghanistan, even with our defence cuts we would be more than capable of thrashing Argentina! Plus after the first Falklands war we reinforced the islands and there is a permanent garrison and airfield there now with a squadron of Typhoons and a nuclear submarine in the area. I'm guessing the renewed interest in "Las Malvinas" as the argies call them has a lot to do with the apparent huge oil reserves that have been found there which we are currently trying to drill for....


But former Foreign Office minister Denis MacShane said the "hostile action" was aimed at London, not the Falklands, and blamed the coalition for weakening Britain's international standing.

The Labour MP said: "South American leaders know that Britain has fewer friends than ever before because of David Cameron's isolationist approach in Europe and the indifference to the Obama administration as most cabinet members are close to US neo-Cons.


Thats a load of shit typical of the Labour party as well, the last time Argentina invaded the Falklands Britain wasn't even in the EU and we didnt need the help of any other country to retake them. Any excuse to have a stab at the opposition. Argentina has been willy waving about the Falklands for a long time, including when the Labour government were in power, so that guy is just talking out of his arse!
