Nonsense. The Argentinians have nothing to invade those islands with.
And without some kind of agreement between England and Argentina, it'd be a brave oil company which would try to realise those oil reserves in the middle of what you rosbifs claim is the next war zone.
This is trumped up propaganda by the English because their beloved United Kingdom is about to cease to exist because Scotland's about to leave. So they need a tub thumping war to get their people flying union jacks and singing god save the queen.

Yes the last hurrah of a dying "empire" The UK will shortly cease to be as an entity when enough of us in Scotland realise that we desperately need to be self sufficient and do not need to assert ourselves by way of a wave of hysterical jingoism.
Let Argentina invade and let ENGLAND take care of it,they deserve each other.

Argentina doesnt have to do anythign with their military , they can just attempt to take over the falklands by subterfuge!
Send in some special agents and do things that way instead of an all out invasion .
As for a previous poster going on about how the UK will split up because of scotland leaving ,
thats not likely to happen , despite us scots loving our dream of an independent nation.
It's something which should just remain a dream , because it wont get us anywhere really.
We just need to forget the bloody past and bury the hatchet with england as none of the #
that acutally happened to scotland happened in our lifetimes.
Except maybe thatcher being a complete # to us but thats entirely different.

Fear you? There's what, 6,000,000 of you? We have over 50,000,000. Our capital city has a GDP 5x bigger than your entire nation and we have more oil under the Falklands than we ever had when we took your oil. What could you possibly do to reach our levels? You are nothing to us. Maybe you could call the French to help you out in the future, like you used to do in the past because you cowards were never, ever capable of taking us on alone.edit on 12-2-2012 by nocollegeonsunday because: (no reason given)edit on 12-2-2012 by nocollegeonsunday because: (no reason given)

Ok care to explain why you class scots as "the enemy" , are you just carrying over some indoctrination
from your parents , or do you actually have a valid reason not to like scots because of some family
greivance dating back to when your great great great great great great great great gran was raped by a
scottish horde ?
No didnt think so , your just an ignorant englishmen with a chip on your shoulder placed their by someone
else or some deluded attachment to nationalist beliefs .
Those borders were placed their by the royals , who never gave a # about you or your ancestors so why do you even care !
A foal's face was slashed and anti-English graffiti daubed across a barn by thugs who failed to realise their targets were actually Welsh. The seven-month-old pony, called Hope, was left with a 4in wound to her nose after vandals attacked her in the West Wales countryside. They also sprayed graffiti written in Welsh slang, meaning "English out", across the barn door after mistaking Alison, 36, and David Hayes, 43, for an English couple.
Scotland is planning a new anti-English 'tax' to make it harder for students south of the border to escape soaring tuition fees. The Scottish Nationalist government is looking at plans to raise fees for English undergraduates to bring them into line with average charges in England following reforms being brought in by the coalition.
