Argentina demands UK nuke apology

[Myrddin]

The appropriate answer on the nukes is:

'We counted them all out and we counted them all back'

[JCG]

El Awrence

[Sava]

Larry Horse says those damn Argentine's should be happy the Brits didn't bomb their dopey country back into the stone age.

[Saras]

What was the total casualty count on both sides?

[Sava]

two teacups

[Gangerolf]

... and about 1000 people (about 750 Argentinians and 250 Brits IIRC)

[Dr. Nick]

I'm pretty sure the casualty count was quite larger than 1000 all in all... IIRC something like five hundred souls went down with the Belgrano alone...

First, we can´t go there, there´s an exclusion zone that doesn´t allow us to go near the islands, unles we want to star another war

Could you make up your mind?

[Unspeakable Horror]

What´s so hard to understand? They are ocupying them now but that doesn´t mean they don´t belog to us.

[Unspeakable Horror]

El Awrence, 323 deaths are from General Belgrano and 770 survived.

Argentina
• Deaths and MIAs: 635
• Wounded: 1.068

• Totals: 1.703

British
• Deaths and MIAs: 255
• Wounded: 777

• Totals 1.032

Edit: Forgot it was in spanish.

[lord of the mark]

would it make sense to establish the South Atlantic as a nuclear free zone? I mean given that US and Russia have cut back our respective ballistic missile sub fleets, do they need as much Ocean to remain hidden in? And if theyre not there, no good reason for nuclear depth charges, etc. Might even be possible to do something in the south pacific - make the Kiwis happy - but China might have something to say about it.

Unspeakable Horror, do you actually believe the British are "occupying" your God-given little hellholes called Falklands?

Argentina started a war to capture them, and Argentina lost. What more is there?

According to http://www.yendor.com/vanished/falklands-war.html as well, it looks like Britain captured 10,000 prisoners. Hot damn, I don't think you really should be acting all big, should you?

Also from that page.

The islands' position was debated by the UN committee on de-colonization. Argentina based its claim to the Falklands on papal bulls of 1493 modified by the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494)

Oh, wow, am I going to go by a 500 year old treaty or a nation that's POSSESSED AND RULED IT FOR 150 YEARS!?

I thought this might explain the Argentinian arrogance.

Virtually every child in Argentina, to this very day, is made to believe that the islands are Argentine, the people living on the islands are virtually non-existent (and if they do exist, they are not considered a party in the conflict) and that the so called "imperialistic injustice"

It says in the same paragraph that Britain would've handed over the isles, but the Falklanders never consented.

It's worth reitirating that ARGENTINA STARTED THE WAR and it LOST. Now, if it had won and it somehow slipped into Britain's hands, then I'd care. But it never won. It suffered defeat, and by the way, silly Argentinians, you don't gain the territory when you lose, but when you win.

My friend told me that the fist sign you see when you cross over the border from Brazil to Argentina is something like "The Falkland Islands are ours" in Spanish.

Silly, brainwashed Argies...

[Chilean President™]

Although Chile helped in some very small way the British in that war I find tasteless having fun with the 'Argentine lost'. It was a terrible war for Argentina and I cannot find anything amuzing about it.

I'm not saying it wasn't a mistake the invasion but come on don't laught about it.


Aguante Argentina

[Drake Tungsten]

Give Antofagasta back to Bolivia, you imperialist bastard! You're no better than the Brits.

Silly Chilies...
