New President In Argentina

[cassa333]

Sorry I don't know how to do links but it is on the BBC web site.

Argentina has a new conservative president ending the long rule of the Pertoni party.

He has pledged to improve the economy and tackle corruption.

Do you think he will concentrate on that and taking back the Falkland Islands will be put on the back burner?

[ToraToraTora]

you can't take back something you never had. The Falklands have been British longer than Argentina has existed as a nation. Hopefully he will have the sense to concentrate on pressing domestic issues.

We have the Trident Nuclear Missile System, so there is no way the Argentinians would EVER attack us.

Then surely that has to be a good thing, we can't have the Argy Bargies attacking us, now can we Gromit?

[Gromit]

AOG,
I cannot imagine them EVER attacking us while we have Trident.

Then that has got to be a good thing surely, only making a comment.

Why do some people insist on this " I can't do links" nonsense ? Its been explained often enough on AB and its hardly rocket science is it ? Its a simple cut and paste exercise.

Gromit...we had the nuclear option available to us in 1982 but it didn't seem to stop Argentina invading the Falklands did it ? I don't suppose General Galtieri gave it a second thought !

And it wasn't a nuclear bomb that won the Islands back, or even the threat of using our nuclear option. It was sending a ruddy great convoy and lots of military hardware and boots on the ground that did it surely ?

My gut reaction is that Argentina accept that the Falklands issue is a dead duck, at least for the time being. They have plenty of other problems to sort out before mounting another invasion.

Links not so easy if yiur using a mobile perhaps?

As fir Argentina they have massive internal problems. Addressing them will take all their time I would have thought

[mikey4444]

Sorry if I sounded a bit harsh cassa...didn't occur to me that you were not using a proper PC...my thanks to YMB for pointing that out !

[Gromit]

Copying and posting from a mobile is no more difficult.On my iPhone, it is easier than from a desktop.

" It was sending a ruddy great convoy and lots of military hardware and boots on the ground that did it surely ? "

they could have been beaten with half the force...the argies were mainly conscripts who didnt want to be there, low moral, poorly traine, equipped etc etc etc

this new bloke will only bring up the falklands when he starts sliding down the polls and they want him out, which wont be long knowing the argies...and for the most part they wont want to know, the only people who will maybe fall for it this time are the same as last time the poorer, lower classes....

You really are a hostile little urk aren't you.

[bazwillrun]

and you are who exactly ?...i see youre getting preferential treatment with the insults though..

Do one !

[Answerprancer]

^ proves my point.

[mikey4444]

Play nicely girls !

[ichkeria]

The issue of the Malvinas is one that will always be raised in Argentina if the economy is doing badly and the government needs a distraction.

"We have the Trident Nuclear Missile System, so there is no way the Argentinians would EVER attack us. "

Nice bit of sarcasm that seems, like a Polaris missile, to have come out of the depths and over everyone's heads :-)
Regardless of the rights and wrongs of nuclear deterrence, I think it's only meant to work as a deterrent against another nuclear power firing a nuke at you.

[mikey4444]

Gromit...it has occurred to me that you may have applying sarcasm at 09:13 this morning !

If that is so, I apologise if my resultant post sounded a tad strident
( strident, about Trident ! )
