don't let your government fool you into supporting a war with Great Britain over the Falklands, they just want to distract you from their own mess just like last time, but I hear you're all a lot better informed and armed with information than last time, so, best wishes x

Again? The royal navy was in disarray and sporting less than optimal tactics and technology the last time around and still managed to turn all the terrible losses around and kick the argentine's arse. With all the goodies they have nowadays it would be a slaughter unless argentina somehow happened to come aross some crazy black market weapons tech which tbh is not out of the realm of possibilitys. My money would still be on the new royal navy though.

technicaly speaking argentina would also be delaring war not just britain if they did attempt to invade which they wont but they would be declaring war on nato as a war on one is a war on all. and they are only kicking up a fuss because its ours and we have the oil .. ooh and we have the fish as well .And if memory serves me right dont we already have a battalion of troops already stationed down there ?.if we still do then they would prolly hold them off for about six months anyway .
failing that we will just send carol thatcher down there to sort them out

The Argentinian government is saber-rattling. They invaded the islands last time because our military was under-funded and in bad shape, and the UK was pretty much a laughing stock because of it. They also had much shorter supply lines to the islands, and had time to dig in before our boys arrived. And we still beat them. That deserves a bit of respect. Nowadays, those islands are significantly more heavily fortified, and we've been upgrading our technology (for example, that shiny new HMS Daring and its Sea Vipers might come in handy against those Exocets or whatever the modern equivalent is). If their government has any sense at all, or any understanding of history, they won't try it.

Edited by: Irida Mershkov on 19/02/2010 22:19:47 Hah, as if Argentina is even equipped to fight any type of combat, never mind even trying to retake the Falklands.
Just to give you a clue: They haven't even recovered since they collapsed shortly afterwards.

Only five posts in and it is obvious what the main problem is here, the same problem that causes most conflicts? People being totally incapable of seeing other human beings as....well...other human beings, i'm British this and i'm British that, my country, their country, it is so ridiculously primitive and caveman like.
I wish the human race would now more so than ever in modern times, use their inteligence just the once and stop thinking you have made a concious decision to be patriotic or be aligned to a certain country.
Actually it is not the Human race as a whole that is the problem, it is the powers that be who lead their sheep to hate the sheep in the other field...... grow a ****ing brain and some self conciousness.

Oh look, we have ourselves a hippy.
Guess what, it is human to think yourself as a citizen of your country and as a member of your nation first. To be proud of and protect your birthright. War Is pretty much the only thing that drives evolution and progress ever since we stopped being eaten by animals.

No, it's pathetic hippies like you who have lost all connection to reality. Go back to whatever drugs you're doing and leave politics to sane people.

This is what I keep telling the Arabs and the Jews, but I don't think they are listening to me. Maybe if we both kindly tell them together we might, just might be able to get through to them.

Well all i'm doing is highlighting the problem, Jews and Arabs like Magnus Nordir are totally incapable of thinking outside of what they have been spoonfed their whole lives, Jews or Arabs seem to believe that they made a concious decision to be islamic or jewish, truth is that if they were born and raised in a cupboard their whole lives they would not even know what day it was, let alone what country or religion they should be aligned to.

And I'm ashamed that our species' genetics are capable of producing a failure like yourself. The black plague, HIV virus and a million other species that threaten our existence or threatened it at some point in our past were also "born on the same planet". That doesn't mean what you appear to be implying it means. Humanity thrives on division and competition, by any means necessary. If all of humanity were backwards pacifists like you suggest, we would still be an irrelevant local species of hunter-gatherer upright-walking apes somewhere in the horn of Africa. Division and competition drove us to conquer the planet for ourselves, and since then, division and competition were behind just about every technological and societal advance. So if you're willing to practice what you preach, kindly stop posting and go back to living in trees. --------------------------- Only those who surrender are lost |

That is purely your opinion Magnus and I would never try to take that from you, I don't hate you for feeling this way, I just feel sorry for you.

That again is your opinion but I believe it is false, technology is infact way behind what it should be due to abhorrent human behaviour caused by over competitiveness, monetarism, politics and racial/religeous seperation.

Demonstrably wrong. Name any war you like, technological innovations will have been made as a direct result of it. WW1, it was tanks, WW2 it was missiles and nuclear weapons, leading to space travel and nuclear power generation. Back when we were cavemen, it was a sharper stick. Even the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have prompted major developments in things like missile accuracy and weapon targeting systems to minimise collateral damage - a direct response to the enemy's tactic of basing themselves in populated areas. ____________________

Even the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have prompted major developments in things like missile accuracy and weapon targeting systems to minimise collateral damage - a direct response to the enemy's tactic of basing themselves in populated areas.
I'd say it casts the illusion of technological advancement, the technology was already there but was held back untill it was needed.
There is a simple formula to our current profit driven system, problems + scarcity = profit, that basically means that any problem solved equals less profit (how much profit would the Pharmacutical company's lose if there was a cure for HIV? the common cold? Or any other manner of diseases), therefore it is better to treat the problem but keep it going, war as far as humanity is concerned is a problem! Tanks, firearms and missiles are a treatment to the problem, they have in some small part due to there own advancement reduced the chance of war but have come far from removing it, humanity will never find a solution to war within this system because there simply is no profit to be made from removing it, keeping people seperated via country, race, religion helps to solidify a constant stream of profit from war.
Lastly even if in the past war has advanced technology, then it no longer needs to in the future, the truth is that no other method of human motivation has been tried since primitive times to motivate people other than monetarism and profiteering, if seperated we have achieved so much, imagine how much we could achieve united.

Yeah, you see this is where you're wrong. Just because you believe something and wish it were true doesn't make it so. You have to either back your assertion up with facts, or do something about it to make it true. Neither of which your kind seem to be too fond of doing.

same **** different day.
We know that human beings are ******s for the most part and are incapable of seeing past their own self interest.
We know that human beings feel they have to belong to a group,cliche, or be blindly patriotic for their country.
We know.

ok ...this thread whilst sort of technical is a little one sided ...it isnt going to happen ....
1st off argentinian conscrpits against battled hardend regulars with loads of experience ...read iraq /afghan conflicts ,,,lets be honest... is simply NOT going to happen ...if ...and i say if ....argentina manage to get 1 single foothold on the falklands they simply dont have the logistics and they dont dont have the ability to take the islands ... whilst i would be one of the 1st to confess that we in britain are a tad over stretched in various theatres of war atm if there was a call to arms read then is conscription ...and it wont... we have roughly 40 million willing peeps that would heed the call . argentina is simply sabre rattling and nothing more ...they thought we would back down when i was a kid in the eighties and they think we will back down now ....they are wrong because we wont
