The Argentinean Navy is luckily a total joke at the moment.

What a sleaze ball, this is decoration playing to the voters. And Argentina are in no position for war. Pathetic

And Rupert Murdoch and his toilet rag The Sun can get lost also, it's nothing but sabre rattling to the public.

With Syria vs NATO, Pakistan vs India, China vs Japan we wouldn't want the UK to miss out on the fun of world war 3 would we.

Wasn't there a rumour about finding oil off the Falkland Islands ?

Follow the money. Crude oil is much better value for the elite than peasants lives.

Recently the Argentinians have been very vocal in their assertion that the Falkland’s is Argentinian territory.


The question really is if this rhetoric will lead to war.


I honestly don’t know, I am inclined to say no I don’t think it will at least not this year.


Argentina based on my limited knowledge of their military and my reading in the press is not able to stand up against the British Armed Forces and as such I can’t see them initiating hostilities.


I do think it is possible that if the rhetoric continues that Brittan might deploy a few warships to the islands just to as a show of strength.


Only time will tell.

The Empire is over, move on. Free the Malvinas.

makes absoloutely no sense, you are clearly ignorant.


Cameron would be better regaining sovereignty from the EU

Do you really think we were over there to fight for a minority of people who claim to be British?

I can promise you, most us Brits do not consider those people far away across the sea as British - far from it.

Deeper politics are involved, as always.

I'm posting from mobile at the moment, so I'll try and exspand later from laptop.

This week saw the announcement by Rockhopper Exploration, one of five British oil companies with operations in the Falklands, of continuing success in its exploration and appraisal programme of the Sea Lion discovery. This was the first confirmed oil discovery of the region, and the company now estimates the field to hold 325mmbbls of recoverable oil based on its mid estimate. Could it be that this remote area is starting to realise its much debated potential, estimated by the British Geological Society to hold billions of barrels of oil.

This is what they would go to war for. Not for the people who live on the islands....
