Okay, if only I could alert the Singoporean police... All countries are guilty of some past crime (Argentina had the Dirty War, although funnily enough it's not mentioned in the anti-argie press in the UK). Deal with it. Argue properly with regard to the current context. If you want to talk...

Thank you for your respone 888jamie888- I think we're clear with each other now. :) @ephone: Argentina being the second largest country in South America means nothing; I ask this, what are the socia-economic and political benefits for Argentina and the Falklands Islands should the UK relinquish...

Back to the Falklands topic, why are nuclear weapons even being talked about as an option? Even if our government wanted to use them, it would be diplomatic suicide. We would be the pariahs of the world. Not even our most stupid politicians would seriously entertain a thought about a nuclear...

Ah, now Spain cannot really take political pot shots at us over the Falklands, or even Gibraltar, considering they continue to possess enclaves in Morroco. France and French Guyana. Heck, even Russia and the Kuril Islands. If the Falkland Islands were not islands, and in fact continguous with...

Specific military target, or do you lust for any kind of blood? Please, do not stand for high office with that attitude.

Well he didn't actually say Iran could bomb the UK, although the open-endedness of the statement obviously had that connotation.* Either way, I and many others aren't falling for this one. We were duped by Tony Blair; with his infamous statement that Iraq could hit us with a WMD within a 45...

Of course platform to platform there are ways in which they can be matched. I'm suprised of how quickly the J-20 and the PAK-FA have followed on since the end of the F-22 Raptor program (at least since it first hit production). In a recent interview, apparently the US Navy was taken aback by how...

Any chance of a return to the title topic? So well done to Brazil for it's continuing economic performance, and it's not like it's all bad news for the UK: the Forbes article says we'll overtake France in/by 2016... wahey! Just some questions. How is Brazil utilising it's economic growth? Is...

On exercise with a B2 Spirit?

Yes, very true. Though a quick wiki search showed that Typhoon lost out on a bid a few years back- though there will be some MPs who will inevitably think the tanker deal might resurrect that one. :/

By the way, if any Korean government ministers or civil servants are reading this: sratch our back and buy Eurofighter! :p

We're busy building aircraft carriers (a huge project if you didn't know), submarines, the last of the Type 45s, and when the carriers/T45s are finished will move on to building the Type 26 frigates, and MHPC vessels. Trust me, we can build plenty. Most of the RFA tankers were built in the 70s...

About Russia backing Argentina... I just have a scene in my head where the UK ambassador to the UN asks his Russian counterpart "Ok, but we want to talk about Kaliningrad and how the deal works with that one...." Argentina obviously has no land border with the islands, so are just as removed...

The islanders are peaceful and only want to remain British. What is so wrong with that right to self determination? Technically you're correct, we HAD no territorial claim to the islands when first colonised. But the inhabitants NOW, TODAY, want to remain British. Also the experience of the...

Sorry if I sound a bit Argentinian-I mean childish- but why?

Sickening to read the "9-11 false flag" bit in the RT article. Disgusting piece of journalism. Almost a match for the Daily Mail! Back to the point of that article though, an aircraft carrier is only as obsolete as the aircraft it carries or can carry. Let's hope these exercises are as far as...

Haha, the things he's said about British Leyland, the Morris Mariner, the Welsh, Theresa May (the current Home Secretary), Gordon Brown... I'd have to set aside some time to name them all, but don't think that he's above hurling abuse at Brits and British places and products. Hell, he even joked...

I wonder how many of those complaining about this also laughed when Clarkson and co. also made 'remarks' about the southern US, Mexico, and the English West Midlands? :p

Very annoying as a concerned Brit reading this. Switching to the CTOL naval variant (F-35C) from the VTOL variant (the B) seemed to make sense in terms of through-life maintenance (C's I think is less than the B's), the better range of the C... The QE class a large enough to take both easily...

Original owners (or inhabitants in this case) were French and Spanish. Argentinians have never lived there, to the best of my knowledge.
