Pfft, by that time, Britain's navy was an empty shell of what it used to be, the Argentinians sank two frigates with a handful of outdated Phantoms.

Skyhawks, not Phantoms.

Skyhawks and Super Etendards.

And if the RN Phantoms weren't given to the RAF just a few years previously, it's possible that the RN wouldn't have lost any ships at all.

I have edited you quote to sum my opinion

Ah, so you support extending british influence and military reach by giving it more foreign bases then? How sporty of you old bean!

Oh fuck I am a little droopy plus i have nothing to do here in this place so i cannot sleep so yeah i meant not be given

I'm Argentine and I think her move was really stupid, especially because instead of $50 we need $500 or $1000 by now.

That's called inflation and it's a very bad path to go down, especially for a country viewed as a bastion free from corrupt banking.

*sigh*

If only.

I can just imagine it.

Hundreds of years from now the British space Empire encounter some alien race and we are all wearing red coats and armed with space muskets and demand they submit to us

"But why? what makes you so great?"

"We own two small islands in one of the oceans of our world, that is why"

"Oh.. its all so clear now.. we fight for you!"

It is the universal language of understanding! Thus it came to pass that an unprecedented era of intergalactic peace and prosperity was unleashed upon our Milky Way, and all was good.

[Jetan]

Not the comment. Those dissapprovals.

Oh, many other comments dissapprove of what the Argentineans say when it comes to the Malvinas/Falklands.

I must say that I feel honoured that you chose to reply to my comment, instead of replying to other similar comments.

Do you have anything to say besides sarcasm?

Since your a native speaker of this horrible language named English, you definitely know that the word homogeneous has nothing got to do with homosexuality and something got to do with the fact that they are pure blooded British people

Why are you involving homosexuality where it shouldn't be?

Projecting?

Mua, doesn't change the fact that we have the beautiful Malvinas on our 50 pesos bills.

No problem with having the Falklands on your 50 pesos bills, but that won't change the fact that Falklanders don't want to be part of Argentina and that particular move of your government is not really helping relationships between Britain and Argentina.

After being btfo, all he has left to offer are passive-aggressive comments.

[Dreadful Sagittarius]

I can sum this all up really;

Calismera feels obligated to assert at every point that the Falklands don't belong to the native Falklanders who want British citizenship and they're actually Argentine because Argentina is closer and Argentina deserves land like it took from the locals that the Argentine immigrants have displaced.

Manisdog sees one side is Britain and thus feels that is should be given any further bases to further its imperialistic tendencies

Most others seem to think it's cool to be so edgy and down with the kids and oppose Britain because it's a silly old white country.

The truth is it's a rallying cry for the imperialists of South America. "There's some land that doesn't belong to Spanish-speaking immigrants we rule! Quickly, liberate it from freedom!" They don't care about historical wrongs, or the right to self-determination. They don't care about it in anything other than a cold-hearted calculated 'what advantage will this give me, and how could it disadvantage me?' way. It's just another way to colour the map a little more Argentine.

I have edited you quote to sum my opinion

Yes you have. And it's wrong. Are we still running around shooting the French to own the Americas? Are we still negotiating with Indian princes to work with the East India Company? Or are you just maybe being a teensy-tiny little bit racist by going "Britain is full of evil imperialists, and I know this to be true because they're British"?

It wasn't meant to be sarcastic actually. The second sentence may sounds sarcastic, but it was more meant to be "friendly" in a silly way. Whatever, I think you get the point now.

I was punning on the word homo, and trying to make that man realize that the word means ethnically pure and not something else but i guess i have to explain even the most basic of things to the other side, which allegedly loves the turn every argument into star wars

OK. Cameron isn't helping either.

Hypothetically let us say that GB gave the Falkland islands to Argentina. What is going to happen to their population? Their 2,000 esq citizens? Do they become automatically Argentinian citizens? Is Spanish going to be enforced (Like the United States did Puerto Rico once, though they enforced English instead of Spanish)?

[The Confederacy of Nationalism]

Are those really enough to outweigh the Royal Navy's recent development of incompetence?

We gave up the empire and our strategic naval situation changed to reflect that.

I don't think you understand how military needs work or are assessed.

I understand how the military works, it is to be kept as sharp as possible in times of peace so that in times of war, you don't get steamrolled. This is why America keeps the largest fleet in the world, despite not having a major fleet action since WW2.

Notice how "Crumpets" and "Falklands" both end with an s? Illuminati confirmed.

You can build a NationStates General career out of nothing but passive-aggressive comments. Not that it is much of a career, but beggars can't be choosers. Fun fact: Cal doesn't even live in Argentina, yet he pines for the fjords of his homeland.

As I have said I think i know them, anyways it is a mistake to give them Falklands mark my words, they should not be given foreign bases
