Now i ask you fine bunch of International people could there be another Falklands War?If so who would be involved? (In your own opinion that is) or is it just the Argentine president trying to distract the population from Domestic issues....You tell me!
Kind Regards and Thanks

If i remember rightly, the Spanish claimed the land first, then handed it to the French who then passed it to the British......it's probably the other way around, so forgive my memory as i'm just out of bed, but the point is, the island was in other hands long before the thing currently known as Argentina even existed.
The fact is, the people of the Falklands are British for they see themselves as British and more importantly, hold British passports... the ocean around said island is ruled by you guessed it, Britannia.
The government of Argentina made a deadly mistake and miss-calculation when they thought Britain would give up a piece of her thrown without so much as even unsheathing a claw.
You see, back then, Britain had just come out from a great depression and was now under the power of Her first ever female prime minister. So perhaps those pesky Argies thought we couldn't or wouldn't defend our territory. But most likely it was a stunt performed by a rebel government trying to appease their people by ( getting one over the old crown )
So, her Majesty's finest were sent over to go see what the problem was, and promptly handed the reprobates a thorough and well deserved beating before sending them home with their trousers down by their ankles displaying red ass-cheeks from a good skelping.
Since then, Argentina has never gotten over that fateful day when Britain ( for old times sake ) went all imperial on their arses. They have now resorted to sending little love notes to the international board to complain about the big British and how they're being big meanies! But the truth is,
*mounts high horse *
Argentina has done very little for the world, and should really get their **** together before they think they can pull up a seat at the international table, to talk about who deserve what.
*dismounts*
Anyways, it is unlikely Argentina will attack but the reason for their current moaning is because our people have discovered something of a natural resource under the ocean of the Falklands, and its within the Falklands lines, which means ££££££ ka-ching!
So naturally the lazy sods started moaning about how unfair this is, and how Prince, the good Prince William shouldn't go to the Falklands on military exercises because '' its insulting '' If i were the young Prince, i'd mount a Clydesdale and ride through the capital with a Union flag, that would give the silly buggers something to complain about.
Should a conflict come out again, it'll most likely be between Britain and Argentina. The Americans would do what they did last time,(tell their Cia agents in the drug cartels to take a vacation because the Argies have just spilt the teapot ) change the subject and turn a blind eye, and the Europeans would face palm at the audacity. Your usual Commie scum bag nations would start making noises about how they'll attack Britain if she strikes, but will be nowhere to be seen when the fight breaks out.
We have a fair amount of '' hardware '' down there anyway, so any attack better be a good one.
However, i highly doubt this will come to much, as we're currently helping our cousins in America, how to educate the middle east.
