Argentines are like Nigerian scam artists with spanish accents. How’d that last dust up with the UK work out for you?

There is very little downside to Argentina from posturing, so why not? The downside only comes if they actually push it all the way to war, and then lose.

I don’t know what the current status of the Argentine armed forces is, but the Brits are much weaker than they were the last time they went to war with Argentina. Argentina has the advantage of proximity, and may feel they have the upper hand.

If Argentina thinks (rightly or wrongly) that they can beat Britain militarily, then this may end in war (or a British retreat prior to war).

If Argentina does NOT think they can beat Great Britain militarily, they may still be able to get what they want through a failure of will on the British part.

Regardless, one thing is clear: The U.S. will not lift a finger to help Great Britain. Obama may even side with Argentina.

Well she screwed up the economy so she needs a distraction. I doubt she actually wants a war.

“According to the Argentine foreign ministry, her declaration opened the way for the “immediate launch” of criminal proceedings.”

Stupid wench better hope the Brits don’t decide for and Immediate launch” of an attack by one of their nuclear subs.

One of which just might be in the area, considering the past treachery of the Argies on the Falklands issue.

She’d better shut up before the next British general election.

Just what Cameron needs to look less like a public school fag.

I wonder how President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner would respond if a Britisk plane dropped a bomb on the Presidential Palace. The commie biotch is spoiling for it.
