you havre to give it to the argies
tell me one other country that went against a nuclear state and global power for their territory, while being a decaying country with a shit military and no nukes, and almost winnign
;)
wtf I hate the UK now
they didn't "almost winnign" they got stomped
why u hate ur queen m8?
>>69414435
>shit military
But it wasn't
It was very well equipped and modern at the time
>>69414435
Reminder that they couldn't get their fucking mouths shut during the secret deals.
They don't deserve nothing.
>>69414496
They caused a lot of damage too.
>>69414435
>Almost winning
>The war finished in less than 70 days.
>>69414435
It's a good job Argentina didn't come closer to winning and its a good of the French are cowards

>Margaret Thatcher forced François Mitterrand to give her the codes to disable Argentina's deadly French-made missiles during the Falklands war by threatening to launch a nuclear warhead against Buenos Aires, according to a book.
>>69414496
i dont attempt informed discussions with an ameristupid m8, maybe go to other site
>>69414536
but it didnt have latest tech or equipment
>>69414435
We'll be fine for a while yet too.
>>69414615
>but it didnt have latest tech or equipment
they did, the british had to threaten the French to disable the argies missiles or the brits would have been severely btfo
>>69414624
A FUCKING RAMP
>>69414679
Ramps will make Britain great again.
Btw where are the argiest....
>>69414615
>but it didnt have latest tech or equipment
They did.
Same service rifle as the UK.
Same AAW destroyers as the UK.
French and American aircraft.
>>69414677
Nah reagan offered to give us a carrier if ours was sunk because Thatcher was his best ideological ally and he knew she would not get reelected If we lost
>>69414736
they dont show up in malvinas threads
>>69414624
wasnt that shit cancelled?
>>69414603
had uk launcehd a nuke in buenos aires, not only would every latin american country intervene (take of that what you wil) usa probably would too
>>69414827
>wasnt that shit cancelled?
Of course not. The first will be fully operational within a couple of years, the second a year or so after that.
>>69414827
>wasnt that shit cancelled?
No. HMS Queen Elizabeth is going to begin her sea trials later this year.
HMS Prince of Wales is still in the dry dock.
>had uk launcehd a nuke in buenos aires, not only would every latin american country intervene (take of that what you wil) usa probably would too
What and get nuked as well? Nah
>>69414736
Argies so bootyblasted they won't even show up
>>69414435
>sneak attack
>modern military with the same equipment as the UK
>>69414827
If we were actually firing nukes the rest of South America would mean absolutely jack shit the only thing that would matter would be the USA and the Soviet Union
Thatcher and reagan had a very close and unique relationship which is why she was confident in having us backing
Logistically it was a nightmare for the UK to get to the Falklands, I don't have the picture but refuelling was a pain. I don't think the UK would have that much trouble these days.
Don't even bother arguing with this faggot Panamanian. He can't defend any of his points and reverts to suck Argentinian cock if possible.
>>69415041
unironically called operation black buck
Trump will make las malvinas argentinas again.
>>69415041
Play any command scenario with navel and air assists and it will make you go insane to try and manage your fuel space on run ways and fuck Air superiority
>>69414736
they can't read english so they won't appear
>>69415016
thats true. but wasnt usa supporting argentina? it was their dictator there
>>69415133
for discussions like these noone should take seriously what ameristupids have to say. sry dude, maybe another time
talking about malvinas with sensible and civlized brits is alright.
but over here nobody pays attention they all think they know everything.
this topic is literally just good for shitposting.
ps:LOS MALDIVAS ES ARGENTINAS
>>69415271
Yes they were
Also the US was hoping for the UK to negotiate a peaceful solution so that they could back the argies but since Maggie went ape that never happend
>>69415336
is thatcher beloved by brits for winning this war?
>>69415456
Yes but her reputation is mixed due to a class based culture
I don't know enough about the subject of thatcher to comment but I'm sure some other autist will give you an answer
>>69415456
didn't their entire country have a massive orgasm when she died a couple years ago?
>>69415553
The subhuman northerners did
>>69415553
>>69415545
I think she is thought of a lot like Reagan, many love her but many hate her.
>>69415575
Don't you mean the northern brothers?
we dont back down (: btw our pilots did so good they found a loophole, and even the us had to change all their defense system to stop exocets (they would fly a few mts. above the water in complete radio silence and radars couldnt catch them)

(peru our greatest ally btw)
>>69416310
then you lost
>>69416429
we were under a dictatorship.
they invaded, not argentina.
they were winning the war because the english were in a massive dissadvantage.
then for some reason (I think the USA asked them to, since afterall they answered to USA) they stopped caring and got the fuck out and started sending 18 year olds who didn't have any military training and had never held a rifle in their lifetime.
so essentially argentina never invaded, it was the military junta, and the brittish never fought argentina per se, and when they won, they basically just beat a bunch of kids who weren't soldiers.
obligatory comedy gold

that's some retarded populist propaganda K right there.
comedy gold indeed.
>>69416577
everybody here makes fun of that cartoon too
you're not the only one bb
>>69414603
>by threatening to launch a nuclear warhead against Buenos Aires
you can not imagine how many things would have been solved with that
UK are literal pirates. They built their empire off stealing Spanish Gold, and spent their empire stealing the Latin man's property. The Malvinas belong to Argentina, and one day soon when the disgusting anglo filth lose their status and America and the British crumble into the oceans, then justice will be done.
