i hope they start shit again and you guys give them hell.


Wow, you arent very friendly are you?

I doubt anything will happen though, at least not enough to be something big, I doubt Argentina will take that risk again.

This matter was settled 28 years ago. It is shameful that the Argie government is dragging it all up again to get votes.

Argentina is like that one country who wanted to be that other country before they were destroyed, then harbored that countries war criminals. Oh wait, that is them.


They are ambitious, but too ambitious for their military. I mean they lost to the British..

If that did happen USA would be dragged into it.

US wasn't during the first incident.

Ye but since then US/UK bonds have developed somewhat. And considering we have sacraficed nearly 300 troops in Afganistan/Iraq over 8 years in your war we would expect US forces to be in support of the British.

Uh huh. So your saying that there were no bonds after WW2 and during the cold war? And somehow now they are stronger currently than they were during that time period?

Obviously there were bonds. However i think that the relationship has turned into more of an alliance now than ever. I mean Britain is virtually an allie of Israel now lol

60 billion barrels of oil I heard... for that amount, I'm pretty sure the UK will wage war if necessary.

60Bln barrels doesn't mean shit compared to 3000 Brits.

 

 

Argentina should have it made very clear to them that if British soil is attacked again then Argentinian soil will be attacked in response. Maybe their leaders will be less likely to sabre rattle if the homeland was at threat. Perhaps Chile would like a little extra living room.

I disagree. Undoubtedly strong when Blair was in power, but we currently have Brown, whose relationship with Obama is non-existent. Reagan and Thatcher were infinitely closer.

Add to that our defeat-in-all-but-name in Southern Iraq and our reticence towards Afghanistan, neither of which have endeared us towards the American forces, and I would wager that the alliance was much stronger then than it is now, the Northern Ireland terrorism issue aside. If there were to be another Falklands War it would probably be a repeat of the first with regards American involvement.

It hardly matters, as British forces are undoubtedly capable of defending the Falklands without U.S. assistance.

Well the Falklands are now well defended so its a non issue of assistance.

The strange thing is that I would have thought Argentina would have quite well out of any cooperation deals, ie Refining, storage etc. Guess thats off the cards now.
