observer Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Seems Argentina is taking legal action against oil companies operating around the Falklands; which possibly indicates the original motive behind the 1982 invasion. But I'm rather confused about their legal basis for doing so; according to the Argentine Foreign Minister, the UN recognise the area, as an "area of conflict" thus preventing any unilateral exploitation of it's oil resources by the UK. Hopefully the UK Gov, can spin things out until our new carriers are ready and we havn't made all our solders redundant, and we're in a position to reinforce our claim?!

P J Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 There are 13 million Argentinians living in and around Buenos Aires. Anyone here happy to kill that many civilian people with a nuclear bomb? and thats just the immediate death toll. Thats more than were killed in the Holocaust. About as wrong as it gets really.

asperity Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 As if there was ever any possibility of us dropping nuclear missiles on anybody. Some people need to take a look at themselves - moronic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Must have been a "moronic" documentary I watched then; which claimed cabinet papers, showed the matter was considered at a low point in the War. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Claimed" being the operative word here, and moronic of anyone to take it seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 It would seem logical that her advisers would present all options available at any given time, however "moronic" they may seem; even if some were dismissed out of hand.
