Britain might lose the Falkland Islands

[andy06shake]

Maggie should have authorised firing a couple of cruise missiles into the footie grounds of Bocca Juniors, Indepente, etc. Show the Argies a bit of proper military tech and what's to come to Beunos Aires if they don't GTFO of our British lands. I woudn't even think twice about it.

Football is a different type of warfare.

And their armed forces are antiquated and diminished.

Not that ours are the same calibre/numbers as in days gone by.

Sending an attack sub loaded with Tomahawks in their direction would be enouth to ruin their day...

Exactly   These kind of countries usually pipe up this sort of stuff when there is an election coming up or the economies on the slide. Just one British Navy sub should make their day 

I've always considered the Argentinian argument insane when Argentina itself is a settler state populated and ruled by non idigenous people, Italians, Spanish and the SS. Why do these settlers need the islands, they stole enough land already.

The problem being, and this beggars belief...

But all 5 of our Astute-class hunter-killers.

Are currently offline, docked at port, and awaiting repairs or maintenance.

I was wonder why king Charles was coming to America clearly to ask us for assistance with the Falkland Islands. If only our so called friends hadn't been total smegheads when it came to letting us use a few of their bases for one of our operations. Argentina seems to be doing well lately maybe they should take control of their islands back it's not like the Royal Navy has more than 4 ships that they could send to stop them from taking them anyhow.

I think you should maybe do some research on the Falkland Island war and how that went for the Argentinians?

I imagine there's still plenty of Argentinian soldiers who have nightmares about the Para's and Royal Marines. 

[Kurokage]

I would say ask the native islanders and not the Kelpers.

Please post about these 'natives'??

I thought the only natives were penguins, as Argentina never settled the islands??

[Kurokage]

Britain has 4 operation ships and it's a long way across some very dangerous water to the Falklands are you sure the juice is worth the squeeze?

I really don't know were you get your info?? Maybe of the back of a beer mat??

I was at Uni when it broke out.
You could have knocked me over with a feather when our ex-head boy was on the news as the Argie's had tried to invade South Georgia (uninhabited) to gain a foothold to the Falklands. He was a Captain in the Royal Marines at the time and his cadre specialised in cold weather operations.
He contacted next in command to get permission to return fire, he was told not to.... he told them to stuff it as the security and saftery of his men were his priority..... so they did.
The rest is history.
I remember when he was head boy, we all knew he was joining the Royal Marines and I quipped at the time, if anyone starts WWIII it will be Keith going against orders! 
He's even in Wiki if you're interested: Captain Keith Mills DSO
And here he is being interviewed [Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNN_bcX6PtU&t=2293s]

Not more than 4 ships?

Are you sure about that?

Then there are the Typhoons stationed nearby.

We can do boots on the ground, successfully, like we did in the Falklands in 1982.

So wave your Malvinas posters and try harder to wind Brits up.

This ain't cutting it, mate.
