@@azazelzel6954 Damn Right, and it was one of the deep seated reasons we voted the way we did June 23rd 2016

Why?

Don’t be so certain actually. One thing that the jingoist press conveniently ignored at the time was the fact the military junta, who ruled Argentina at the time of the Falklands war and was thus deposed with its ending, came directly from a military coup that took place in 1976 and was backed directly by the US who gave these ‘fascists’ the wherewithal to overthrow a democratically elected president: Isabel Perón as part of its operation Condor terrorist campaign. Now to anyone who knows even one line of what really happened in the last century and hasn’t obsequiously brought into the American exceptionalism fairy tale that has tainted over our collective consciousness, the fact that Uncle Sam and his servile Tommy boy doesn’t care about whether anyone is living under a ‘fascist’ dictatorship or not. I mean come on, the same self-congratulating corporatist idealogue who supposedly liberated people from fascism in South America was also the same women who kept suspiciously amicable relations another fascist dictator in South America: Augusto Pinochet, even going so far as to visit him when he was under house arrest in 2000. If we were so virtuous then the Argentinians wouldn’t have ever been conscribed into that horrid despotism under the guilty auspices of the ‘special relationship’ in the first place. But obviously that alone isn’t good enough; what’s done is done and those people couldn’t have been liberated by simply praying to the tooth fairy, and this is why instead of wasting tax payer money on a practically disavowed lump of rock that paid no taxes in return, the UK should have left it up to the UN to deal with like how they left it up to them to liberate East Timor after the UK had directly supported the genocidal Indonesian occupation there. Perhaps this way, the 300 navel men on the Belgrano wouldn’t have perished at sea because the UN, unlike the UK, is probably going to follow the Law of the Sea Convention and not obliterate a Navy vessel outside of the exclusion zone which had no legitimacy under the aforementioned UN agreement anyway.

@@lukechopper22 The Argentinians shouldn't have invaded the Falklands and then the Belgrano wouldn't have been sunk. Silly old Leopoldo Misfortunato for taking on the best Armed Forces in the World (along with Israel) at the time.

It’s ah sheep field at the arse end of South America, it was used as ah stage for thatcher to announce that Britain wanted ah seat with the big boys , pathetic attempt to big up Britain murdering 323 Argentine sailors and committing ah war crime in the process , there will come a day when this fcklands war is recognised as ah war crime and thatcher proscribed as ah war criminal, forty years of silence is long enuff

Well said.

Whenever the chips are down The UK can depend upon our friends and allies in The Commonwealth and not our so called friends in the EU and especially not France who had sold the Argentinian Airforce their 6 Super Etendard aircraft and the exocet missile they were armed with. At first during the Falkland war the Super Etendard and exocet missile system did not work so our so called French "allies" and "Friends" sent a tema of engineers to Argentina during the war to fix the problem and, as a result, teh defect5ive weapon system as fixed and the Super Etendard aircraft were able to sink a number of British ships killing and giving life damaging injuries to many Royal Navy seamen and Merchant Seaman including sinking the Atlantic Conveyer, the container ship housing the heavy lift helicopters needed to transport the heavy equipment and suplies as well as the troops landed at the San Carlos inlet to the outskirts of Port Stanley forcing the Army to yomp carrying their supplies across marshy moorland. Only one Chinook heavy lift helicopter survived and was inadequate for its role so the Welsh Guards were reloaded onto the Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship the Sir Galahad and transported to supplies and the Welsh Guards to Fitzroy where it wa sbombed and set on fire killing 48 crew and guardsmen and severely burning many survivors like Guardsman Simon Weston who survived with 26% burns. I will never forget the perfidy of our so called French "Allies" and "Friends" for sending Engineers to Argentina to enable the weapon system against us causing the loss of men and ships directly to the taskforce and, with the sinking of the Atlantic Conveyor, the loss of the heavy lift helicopters that led to the loss of the Atlantic Conveyor -I dont blame the Argentinian Airforce for doing their job BUT the French Government and the French Government owned arms company for enabling the Super Etendard and Exocet Missile system. Afetr all its been known for some thiem that "with the French as Friends, who need enemies" !!!!!

You fought in the war then?

It's quite intresting how you imply that Britain (The Royal Navy) was *invincible* and that we totally *obliterated* Argentina's Naval and Land presence. Land troops yes, the Argentinian troops were ill-equipped and unprepared once the British amphibious landing was underway. We annihilated them in that arena. However Six ships were lost in the war, with over 255 British troop fatalities. The most famous sunk British ship was definitely the HMS Sheffield (which was sunk by *one* Exocet Missile) The Argentinian Navy had State of the art Exocet missiles which could of devastated the British Task Force. Obviously it was Britain's military power and stratagem that enabled for the *Falkland*, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands to be regained from Argentina 🇦🇷. The sinking of the ARA General Belgrano (by the nuclear powered British Submarine HMS Conquer) was a massive victory for the Royal Navy and Britain and turned the tide of the marine battle. But we had losses and it was not a walk in the park.

@HaloLoreNerd Argentina entered British territory with inadequate forces. And were rightly removed. Shame that the brave Argentinian forces were put in that position.

At least I respect the the mere Argentine conscripts for facing the challenge against a formidable forces from Britannia consisting of Welsh guards, Scots, Royal Marines, SAS and even the Ghurka! Heck at least the Argentine air force overwhelmed the British Navy lol. This war taught the United Kingdom to not underestimate their enemies.

@Gary Dodgson It's true that the Argentines made the colossal mistake of assuming that Britain, led by Thatcher, would not respond to such an aggression. Thatcher knew that if she allowed this attack on British sovereignty to go unpunished, then the UK would no longer be seen as a strong nation, that no one wanted to mess with. So under no circumstances, was this aggression be unanswered. Otherwise they risked more of these attacks, from other nations, and risked losing several more territories.

+Aimon Cabral Came across this comment whilst researching for some University work. I can honestly say my generation (im 21) are not well educated on the War and with that in mind have no harsh feelings toward Argentina. if it helps most people i know dislike Thatcher over here.

+DERRIE THICKETT Thank you for the comment

+Aimon Cabral hope you don't mind but I will add a few things. Looking at comment boards on online news story's concerning the Falkland Islands most seem to still support the British control of the island. Most people show little contempt for the Argentinians until one of their leaders kicks up a fuss ( I have a friend who loves Argentina and has been several times) As for thatcher I love her and most people I know at uni (Durham) also love her; this however is arguable different in places like Bolton university. She was really a politician that had mixed voters so as an example my mother loved her however my farther hated her. It is also dependent on whether you live in the north or south.

+Stuart Miller When you say north or south you mean all uk? like if scotland would have a different opinion of england? like a regional thing

+Aimon Cabral well you have to understand her domestic policies to realise why some may hate her (north of England and Scotland) because most of the north and Scotland has always been social because it used to be a manufacturing area. Margaret thatcher basically closed the (inefficient) mines which were based in the north ruining the work options as well as the prosperity of the areas. She also crushed the unions which were heavily socialist (and still are, labour) so many viewed her as a tool for capitalism. Middle class like her as a whole though as she made the south (London) quite prosperous with the financial services industry.

She was not at all second to Churchill. He just loved a fight and had no vision for the future of Britain. She turned the country round in peacetime against considerable opposition when we had grown spoilt and fractious and needed discipline.

More balls than Churchill...

Samuel Harrison Sam, the Argies battered the British task force to a pulp. France and the US saved Britain, no wonder we are Americas slaves.

CMDR The Argentinian armed forces were tin pot compared to the British yet they did a fabulous job in attacking the task force. I was enthralled at the sinking of the 6 ships and the loss of 255 British sailors and soldiers. The US and France gave tremendous help to Britain as follows: 1. US spy satellite information on Argentine movements. 2. US field radios because Britain's were poor. 3. Stinger manPAD 4. USS Iwo Jima 2 was madecready incase Britain lost a carrier. 5. France refused to re-supply Argentina with Exocets. 6. France trained British agents how to sabotage the Exocets that were for sale on the black market. 7. French pilots of Mirage and Super Etendard trained with British Harrier pilots in the UK to show them the weak spits of the planes in flight. Without America and France, the zBritish task force would have been decimated. Read the memoirs of Sir John Knot, the Defence Secretary at the time. He tells the fuller story behind this hollow victory. Put simply, the Argentinian pilots were very brave and skillful and were a credit to their nation.

Harriers could go vertical in forward flight and were nearly 100 mph faster at sea level.That's why the mirage's were shot down .SAS whent ashore and destroyed the exocets by simply blowing them up and destroying all aircraft in the general area.The only thing the french could train anyone for is surrender and they new better than to sell the argenswines any more exocets.
