You left out the "draw." And who's invading Argentina?

No one. I've just been talking about how happy I'd be if Argentina was under British rule.

Ah. Why would you be?

Remember 1806 and 1807. You won at the Falklands, but we put up a fight in our mainland.

(On a fun fact: When you arrived, you did so in my town. )

Time and time again we have been reminded of the backwards nature of the Argentine airforce. I would almost bet on RNZAF beating them.

Also remember that if a war did happen any RN ships would work in conjunction with any RAF planes.

You're forgetting the crucial fact that we have no way of taking out any opposing fighter aircraft. Sure, I reckoned that we would have had more of a chance had Labour gone through with the deal to buy those F-16's but seeing as they didn't, we've got no hope in thw world.

As for the claims made by the RN, with Argentina, it is remotely realistic. For the whole of South America, downright stupid. Anyone with a remote sense of realism would realise that as soon as the RN ran into an enemy which fields a competent air force like Brazil, Chile or Venezuela, they'd be in for a nasty shock.

Is that bit I highlighted in bold referring to the RN or the Argentine Navy? If its the former, I strongly doubt that you have a clue what you are talking about.

[Super Bwitain]

No one. I've just been talking about how happy I'd be if Argentina was under British rule.

Ah. Why would you be?

Because I'm a British Patriot who wishes to see a new empire rise out of the grave of the old one. Why else?

Additionally, I'd like to know if Machtergreifung is aware that logistics work slightly differently now to how they did in 1944.

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry with that Venezuela one; proof that the anti-British argument for the Falklands is still stuck in the past- apparently thinking that Britain is England and England is an absolute monarchy.

As for America, It's awkward how they try to cater to its Special Relationship while also trying to improve South American relations..

I'm not sure if that man even knows her name: 'Madam Queen' 'Queen of England'.

That show is awesome! We've used it to cover the Korean War for GCSE History.

Nice to hear that the history lessons are doing something right..

Our histroy lessons do almost everything right: we manage to cover all topics which could be related or helpful at all, we cover it in a non-biased way and then we watch films to show us the difference between Hollywood and reality...

How so? Last time I checked, ships still needed fuel, sailors need fed and armaments need delivered. You cannot expect to run such a operation from a tiny island 3000 miles away. The general principle has'nt changed since the USN started island hopping across the Pacific.

Yes. Because a single engagement requires the exact same numbers of ships and preparations as a full blown war and invasion. Well done sir.

thanks for showing your historical ignorance but actually graf spee's battlegroup spent four months crusing around the south atlantic, fighting several actions before being sunk and they certainly weren't worried about not getting home. thats the germans as well, who didn't have the wide network of ports and coaling stations the royal navy had. so in conclusion: its been done in 1914, its been done in 1944, its been done in 1982 and the Idea that its impossible in 2011 is exactly the same kind of wishful thinking that led argentina to defeat in the falklands war and exactly the same defeatism that nearly kept the british from responding. wrongly. suck a lime.

It all seems a bit of a moot discussion. The Falklands are British and we've all shown in other pages.
