Guest American Woman Posted May 4, 2012 Report Posted May 4, 2012 I must say that the president of Argentina is really hot and to think she is 58 years old! She's actually 59, and she's quite gutsy, too. This ad is generating quite a bit of controversy - annoying the host of the Olympic Games, at the very least. Quote

This ad is generating quite a bit of controversy - annoying the host of the Olympic Games, at the very least. What she is, is a typical third world politician who can't run her country properly and is looking for foreigners to focus people's attention on. So she rants on and shakes her fist and acts all patriotic so people don't think about what a mess she's made of things.

Guest Derek L Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Argentina isn't a threat to the United Kingdom, or the Falklands. As I was saying: Argentine navy frigate ‘Libertad’ retained in Ghana by group of defaulted bond holders Argentina isn’t a threat to the United Kingdom or the Falklands………Or creditors... Quote
Guest Derek L Posted August 5, 2013 Report Posted August 5, 2013 And in semi related news: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2384852/The-Navys-Fighting-Admiral-Sir-John-Sandy-Woodward-led-Falklands-taskforce-victory-1982-dies-aged-81.html Sir John ‘Sandy’ Woodward, who led the Royal Navy task force sent to retake the Falklands in 1982, has died, aged 81, following a long illness. David Cameron hailed his ‘heroic command’ and Defence Secretary Philip Hammond said he would be remembered by many as the Navy’s ‘fighting admiral’. When Argentina invaded the Falklands, Sir John was a newly-appointed admiral and acted as commander of the battle fleet from the flagship aircraft carrier, HMS Hermes. Ten weeks after the task force left Britain for the South Atlantic, the islands’ capital, Port Stanley, was liberated. Woodward was truly in the same class as Nelson, Anson, Somerville and Cunningham........ Quote
Rue Posted August 8, 2013 Report Posted August 8, 2013 I have been to Buenos Aires. With due respect to Argentinians, your armed forces at the time they invaded the Falkands were nothing but a bunch of pathetic drunken thugs power hungry from raping their own citizens. The autrocities they committed on your people are inexcusable. The years of terror, kidnapping of children, torture was all the work of cowards. Some may say the Falklands were an obscure set of rocks and funny men who like sheep. I say Thatcher kicked the collective asses of a tyrannical and despicable regime and they got their karma but good. I only hope Argentinians never have to live through any future military junta nightmares again. Buenos Aires is a beautiful city but the contrast between extreme wealth and poverty is there. It is worrisome. Without a stable middle class, this country could easily swing back to a military junta. Argentina is one hell of a country. It has food to feed the world. It is a country with everything and yet it struggles still with extreme poverty. I love Argentinian dance, art, the way they ride horses, women. I hate their past history of brutal military regimes Quote

I do not know enough about British navy history to say the above. I do know it was a complex operation. I do know they did a lot of planning and key to their strategy was pre-striking with submarines. I have read more about World War Two navy battles than anything else. I will always admire any merchant marine on their suicide missions to bring supplies from Canada to Britain. Maybe one of those unsung merchant Captains gets my salute and also I man I met personally and got to know in Toronto who was a merchant marine and skippered a tug boat forced to take barges of thousands of bodies from prison and concentration camps and dump them in the ocean. Sometimes wars are won by such people-no one notices their contributions. I doubt we will see such a thing again. Other than Thatcher its hard to believe anyone would risk such a distant sea war in this day and age. She was friggin nutz to have done what she did. Guts or nuts. Close in sound and meaning, Quote
