Yeah, how's about YOU try to take it this time, asshole?
I'd pitch in to bring the Vulcans back for one last tour. |
|
If Argentina wants it they should try to take it.
The Iron Lady got mad once & opened a can of whoop ass. Venezuela is in that neighborhood & had a front row seat to the shitstorm you'd think they would understand first hand just how inept thier .mil really is. I'm betting the Venezuelan generals are saying "Somebody shut that retard the hell up" |
|
I don't think the Argentinians would be that stupid again. chavez should STFU, he showing everyone what a fucking dick he is.
|
|
Remember, Thatcher was prepared to use nukes to get the Falklands back. The Iron Lady indeed!
|
|
No way, at least this way England gets to pretend that they are still an empire.
|
|
He should form a military alliance with Argentina, and put his own forces at their disposal.
Otherwise, Argentina and UK both should tell him to shove it. NTM |
|
Most (if not all) of the people on the Falkland Islands are English in traditions, language, and loyalty. British claim to the island is pretty strong.

Back in '82 the Argie conscripts got a lesson in 'WTF !'. They were told that they were on a great mission to liberate argentine citizens being held against their will by the colonial British. Then they come on shore to a less than rousing welcome from all the BRITISH residents. There are no Argies LIVING there. Only dead ones led to an early and useless death by the junta trying to deflect the public gaze from the domestic problems. The argie air forces fought bravely and well.
That's all Chubby is doing. Getting his people to look outward instead of the at mess he is making of their country. rj |

Andy... on this side of the pond, we can't really say that word. Just like I couldn't say "Gypsy" on your side. Tread lightly, my lime-eating friend. - BG |

The Brits would probably love to give the Falklands to the argies and have actually tried. There is this thing called public opinion. The public in Britain herself and the public on the Falklands. Both raise up a tremendous cry if there is even a hint of handing over sovereignty.

This is what they have to work with.
|
|
Now, now...thats pretty much the same as using the N word |
|
|
I heard that word frequently when I spent time in England. It isn't "nice" but it also doesn't seem to be nearly as bad as the N-bomb. You'd be amazed at some of the minor language differences that will get you into trouble over there . - BG |

He has also been grumbling about taking Aruba from the Dutch.
What an asshat! |
|
I work with a guy from Argentina, and he will go into a 15 minute tizzy about Thatcher, Faulklands at the drop of a hat...
People at work are tired of the latin 'passion', much like getting tired of the islam whinning... |
|
Considering the Dutch are members of NATO, that would be all the excuse we need to pop that pimple. |

It was sunk by a torpedo from a sub, not a frog missile. |

The way that I see it,
prepare for that idiot to tell the US that they should give back the continent to the indiviuals that owned it before Europeans arrived. |
|
...and I think Chubby should roll up the Sunday paper and jam it in his ass. The Brits got some good practice in the sandbox. I'm sure the Falklands War Pt. 2 would be even quicker this time around.

I dont recall hearing much about this country , until a MARXIST became "ruler"-----
the U.S. news media has made this guy a celebrity ------- i kinda get the impression from watching some in U.S. news med. that they would like this guy to be president here !!! |
|
+1 and they took pics of it going down. sad really. |
|||
|
I think Chavez should either fight for it or shut his dick holster.
|
|
'They' didn't, the pictures were taken by a crewman from the Belgrano... ANdy |

Spread of 3 Mk VIII's date stamped 1944. One hit the bow and blew it off, the other hit the boiler room, no 3 just missed one of the DD escorts... ANdy |

Not so fast, they do have 12 harbor tugs you would have to fight! and as for the idea of it? I am sure that would be real popular with the 255 families of the KIA [sarcasm] |

|
here is one. and good recap of the attack, Vito. (Interesting recap of the sinking/attack-wikipedia) "only nuclear sub to sink a ship..." |

The British are the biggest sheeple to be found. Their serious ongoing attemps to ban such dangerous things like BB guns and kitchen knives are proof of this. The only credit I give them is that they have a very good military and are not afriad to stick it out. Other than that, their politics would make Hillary Clinton look more to the right than most elected Tory party member to date.
Even the french design better weapons than the British do |
|
Thanks for the link, It's a pretty accurate account of the attack. I helped get the Falklands back the first time and I'd do it again, and I know personally the guy who ran the attack on the Belgrano. ANdy |

Ooops! Good job I did not post the lyrics to the Malvinas Song ANdy |

You need to read the article that was in the Smithsonian Magazine last month or the one before. They paint a more realist picture of what is actually happening down there . Disidents disappearing or being beaten up or jailed on trumped up charges. The upper class and educated leaving in droves [ heading for Miami ]. Businesses being taken over by the government. State run businesses being run my Chubby cronies [ skimming profits ]. Typical 3rd world bs. Local libraries probably have the back issues or maybe smithsonianmag.com rj |

Shouldn't Venezuela be returned to Spain? After all Spain did own it...
