I don't know what she is trying to do ,she must know that there is no hope of getting the falklands so unless she is just playing some kind of political game to get support for herself back home then i just don't understand what she hopes to achieve .I think on the world political stage she is looking pretty stupid

Plus we have a much bigger garrison than then. Good thing though as we have no fleet to send out as in the eighties.
We don't need one ,we have the full backing of the USA and Nato who will be more than willing to come to our aid as we have helped them over the years ..........wouldn't they ????

In 20 years Argentina will own the Falkland Islands.

On that day Jedward will pick up a Nobel peace prize in astrophysics.

Crawl back into your hole you argie idiot.

I just don't get this.

I won't say many positive things about Cameron but I admire the way he mainly keeps a dignified silence about the Falklands other than his usual "They're ours and it's staying that way".

But the Argies just seem to only be interested in childish digs. Hardly diplomatic.

Far as I am concerned we have the moral high ground. We are the ones who have given the islanders a choice via a referendum. All the argues want to do is rule with there usual iron fist.

One of their Type42s "accidentally"? sank the other week while it was tied up in port.

:LOL:

But it's not as funny as the Iranian plastic stealth fighter.

The Argies are a has been nation with equipment of a bygone age. They would have no chance against us if they ever decided to send in troops on what is to be honest a suicide mission

Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner says she has asked for the Pope's intervention in the Falklands dispute between her country and the UK.
Visiting the Vatican, Mrs Kirchner said she had asked the Pope to promote dialogue between the two sides.

The Pope won't get involved. No one cares outside of the respective countries and the Pope is hardly going to cause a stir over this issue.
