Gianni. You'll excuse me, but I don't quite follow the drift of your comment. According to sources, the Uruguayan Navy has 22 vessels. The Argentine Navy has between 42 and 44. Who has the big gun?

Argentina still keeps pushing, and its people just keep following like sheep,
i think all this pushing, is to cover up there governments corruption, they want a war,, any war, it does not matter, as long as it distracts the people from what is really going on, you can never ever trust Argentina, even the stupid Brazilians admitted the other day, they supported Argentina against the British, and this is how they treat her, she just cant be trusted, but the next war may not be between Argentina and the brits, the other south American countries may yet beat us to it, if they keep pushing, its south America that will put Argentina in its place,, and good rid dens
lolol
