AE I wonder when the Argentinians are going to invade the Falklands...

The Harriers GR 7 operate from carriers,
UK has nuclear subs in service
- so nothing's changed . . .


Harrier GR7's don't have radar - much has changed. Subs are useless
against
aircraft - much has changed.


Subs can launch cruise-missiles and tridents with impunity against all A-4
bases, with nukes if called for...

The British could have done that in 1982 and didn't. They won't do it now
either. Imagine the political repercussions from using nuclear weapons.

AE The British could have done that in 1982 and didn't.

They didn't have to . . .

AE They won't do it now either. Imagine the political repercussions from
AE using nuclear weapons.

They can't really be sure, can they??
Anyway - missiles can also carry ordinary explosives
- one in the middle of Plaza del Mayo will do the trick!

Subs can close down sea traffic - carriers far from land can stop
air-travel.
An Argentinian attack on the Falklands would give the british the right
under the law!

So it's not gonna happen - too many smart people on both sides.

With best regards, alf blume. E-mail:

Just like they were in 1982? Or in 2003 (Iraq)?

C'mon.
