Yet again you assume and get it all wrong

I'm not arguing instead just giving my all over viewpoint based on what I've experienced and sourced..
Why do you always want black and white? Do you think that the only outcome of a battle is either win or lose? Your viewpoint is extremely limited and deployment of more resources to the Falklands would cost this country millions for a war that might never materialise.. Do you think that this is the first time that the argies have reinforced their claim to the islands since the falklands conflict, you didn't see us panicking in '94 when the argies reaffirmed their commitment to the islands and added it to their constitution.
Also why do you have seem to have no confidence in the ability of our current forces within the area? You have very simplistic views based on the chance of a lucky strike against a type 45, if that was some ones view on life then they'd never go out of their house in case they were mugged or hit crossing the road.
This whole thing is about the argentinian politicians realising that there's resources that they can grab to make themselves rich, it's nothing about their claim to the islands just what treasures they can lay claim to and even they are not stupid enough to go to war over that.
