Wow watched 12 minutes and then my ears started to bleed. Normally at least you get two people on a show that will debate each side from each view point. Those two people where completely one sided and are basing nearly all the facts it seems on 1800s Britain..... watch out the red coats are coming. I think given all the places that have been given back and the reduced size of the "empire" most of the comments were just stupid but maybe im being one sided
Where is sharpe when we need him
Nope, that only applies to Israel. [controversial/]

It's embarrassing to watch. Especially the woman. What planet is she from. It's intresting to see how properganda works from the other side.
Personally i think they whole issue should just be ignored. The referendum was a mistake.

Obviously, all non-indigenous Argentine would then move onto the islands and give the land back to the natives too.
Surely Kaliningrad Oblast should be released to Germany?

It won't come to a war, Argentina knows better than that. It seems its in for the long haul, a battle for political support from around the world rather than military confict which it knows it can't win.
Its also part of its wider territorial ambitions, most of British Antarctic Territory is also directly claimed by Argentina, their claim directly lies over the top of ours. They've even establised a permanent base there, more for political than scientific reasons one suspects.

Nope, history and people mean nothing it goes to the closest which would be Poland or Lithuania that's the rules now!

You mean Russia surely? The Russians owned Alaska before selling it to the Americans (which they deeply regretted no doubt when the Americans found there was oil there).
Your looking at it wrong, Kirchner is going to demand that Italy* gives Vatican city to Argentina due to the temporary Argentinian population
*I know its not Italian, but I doubt she does

Looking at Google info on Argentina's military, it doesn't seem to have come on much since 1982. The best fighter aircraft they seem to have is a Mirage III which is a 1950s design as is the uprated A4s they use. I can't see them giving Typhoons and Tyoe 45s any real problems.
They have a sub force of three German built diesel electrics built in the 1980s. Would they give Astute class subs any problems, assuming they could locate them ?

There is only so much sarcasm a domestic meter can measure before it goes pop, sorry.
The new pope is Argentinian. What's the betting the new reason the Falklands should be handed over is 'cos god says so?
care of the sun so take with a pinch of salt.
We don't have to "win" anything. We are not looking to change anything or convince anyone to do anything different.
They do have the advantage of being able to go entirely silent, which a SSN can never do.
Once they need to move though, they loose that advantage. Which is probably the only one they have.
