Argentina had no chance in the Malvinas war: it was fighting the ‘Holy Alliance’
“Malvinas is a sacred cause for the Argentines used by the military with a spurious purpose: to remain in power” according to Juan Bautista ‘Tata’ Yoffre author of the recently launched book “1982” on the Falklands/Malvinas conflict. Read full article

What an impossible woman, that Thatcher! With her four nuclear submarines on mission in the southern Atlantic, she threatens to launch the atomic weapon against Argentina — unless I supply her with the secret codes that render deaf and blind the missiles we have sold to the Argentinians. Margaret has given me very precise instructions on the telephone …. I have been forced to yield. She has them now, the codes. If our customers find out that the French wreck the weapons they sell, it’s not going to reflect well on our exports.“
United Nations General Secretary Javier Perez de Cuellar puts forward a UN peace plan.

Why they may even try to use it against their supplier!
There is no such thing as an abort code built into a missile, for the every simple reason an adversary could exploit it to turn your weapons off. Its a convenient plot line in a movie but has no basis in reality.
Oct 29th, 2011 - 10:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Mitterand story is conspiracy bullshit. It comes from a book written by Mitterands “Psychoanalyst”, published conveniently after Mitterand's death.
And if we had these abort codes, then how come the Glamorgan or any one of the other ships were hit?
Exocets have a habit of failing to explode, its a complex fuze. You have a Semi-armour piercing warhead, that is designed to explode after penetrating the ship.
The beam on a typical warship is about 15-20 m. You have to explode the warhead 7-10 m after penetrating the side of the ship travelling at around 250 m/s. So you have to detect impact and 40 ms later detonate the warhead and your electronics have to keep working through shocks of 1000 g or more during impact. Its not a trivial problem.

The french showed the SAS how to disable the missiles if they found any on missions. It is however impossible for a rival navy to disarm missiles while they're mid flight.

Thatcher was quite capable of useing a nuclear bomb.She had little regard for human life until 1984 when Paddy Mcgee and a few more showed her it isnt nice war.After that she beacame more ameanable to compromise.Argentina should always remember when dealing with the English elite is that the lives of the poor fools from the periphery who fight their wars are collateral damage but when you hit them where it matters they compromise

On 8 May 1987, at least eight members of the brigade launched an attack on the unmanned Loughgall RUC base. The IRA unit used the same tactics as it had done in the Birches attack.[10][11] It destroyed a substantial part of the base with a 200lb bomb and raked the building with gunfire. However, as their attack was underway, the IRA unit was ambushed by a Special Air Service (SAS) unit. The SAS shot dead eight IRA members and a civilian who had accidentally driven into the ambush. This was the IRA's greatest loss of life in a single incident during its campaign. Six IRA members from a supporting unit managed to slip away.[12]

My view is after Brighton “Maggie” became ever more ameanable to an agreement on the North Of Ireland.The IRA indeed suffer heavy losses in 87 but it didnt stop their lethal attacks on the CITY OF LONDON(always the key) such as the London stock exchange(90)Baltic exchange(92) a billion euro damage in those days,Bishopsgate st(93) and so on.The London government decided that a deal had to be done with the IRA as its very heart was being threatened.
Argentinas policy with regard to the Malvinas must continue to be as consistent, constant information especially in the Americas showing the Latin American people that tradeing with England is hurting their brothers.When it costs enough London will talk it always has done and always will protect ITS INTEREST.The collateral damage suffered by its hirelings are of no real consequence.

Oct 29th, 2011 - 05:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You think so?
British spies subverted the IRA from within, leaving it in military ruin, and Irish Republicans - who want to end British rule in Northern Ireland and reunite the island - have largely shifted their weight to Sinn Féin and its peaceable, political efforts. And so the Dirty War provides a model for how to dismantle a terrorist organization. The trick is to not mind killing, and to expect dying.”
One of the more sobering facts in the article is how one spy, Scappaticci, the head of an assassination squad, kept his cover:
“The one preconception the IRA had is that if you are dirty - that is, if you have killed - then you cannot be an agent.” Scappaticci exploited that misapprehension. “His best protection,” Ingram continued, “was to keep killing.”
any how the war was lost before it started,remember that the argentine poplation is 60 percent of italian origin,the italians never won a war.

Denis Donaldson, 55, was expelled from Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, a week after he and two other men were cleared of spying inside the party's Stormont headquarters. .
His admission proves that the highest echelons of the Provisional Sinn Fein movement were infiltrated by British intelligence for years.
The case against Mr Donaldson, formerly Sinn Fein's head of administration, was dropped when the prosecution said it would not be in the public interest to pursue it.
Excellent analogy! Pax Romanus.....Pax Britannica.

Oct 29th, 2011 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You know nothing about the Irish people, your dim and distant 5th cousin who migrated to South America 200 years ago doesn't give you a right to speak for the Irish either. We have suffered enough from self proclaimed Irish people claiming to know the history of Ireland or the British Isles better than the people who live here.
People like my grandparents, from Cork, people like the hundreds of thousands of Irish men and women who fought for the British Empire or served the war effort in two world wars. The Irish civil servants and soldiers who helped police, garrison and administer the British Empire.
What they did not have in common was a hatred of the British, they were British. Until Irish nationalism became a driving force, turning Irish Republicans (who were only a small minority at that time) into tools of the German war effort during WW1. It was a nationalism that grew in my grandparents time, resulting in them being burned out of their Cork farm house in 1932 for... being Protestant.
This is the Ireland people like O Gara like to speak about, the sectarian Ireland. When they speak of Ireland they ignore the fact that for almost 1000 years English has been spoken there, that people throughout Ireland trace their heritage back to the Old English, the Normans, the Scots and Welsh. No for the O Gara's of this world Ireland is a land populated by leprechauns and harp players, Gaelic speakers who hate Britain as much as O Gara hates England.
I have news for him, the Irish do not share his hatred of the English or the British. The only people who share his hatred of the British are the blood soaked republican terrorists hated both north and south of the border by the vast majority of the people of Ireland, the people of Ireland calling themselves Irish or British despise hate mongers.
In his warped little mind Ogara thinks he can speak for the Irish. The Irish want nothing to do with the Ogara's of this world, the fake Irish, the hate peddlers!
On the basis of the British invasion of Río de la Plata I have been able to establish that Argentina is in fact owned by Great Britain.
Oct 29th, 2011 - 09:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have been tabling a series of motions at the UN in order to officially establish this claim to Argentina. There is historical president for this, on the basis of an almost 200 year invasion of the Falkland Islands by a German and some British ex patriots, Argentina claims the Falkland Islands.
I can establish as historical fact that Río de la Plata was invaded by Britain and that this claim was never renounced, there is over 200 years of continued British claim to Argentina.
This makes all Argentines suject to British law and taxation. I am planning to get Buenos Aires renamed Port of Britain. Argentina will be called Bairdland, after the leader of British forces in the first occupation of Río de la Plata.
It is important to state that this did not happen just once - as in the Argentine claim to the Falklands - but twice!!

1272 The English had now conquered Ulster, east of Lough Neagh, in Meath,as well as most of Connacht and of Munster.
1315 After Battle of Bannockburn, Edward Bruce of Scotland invaded
Ireland but failed in his attempt to overthrow Norman Rule.
1318 Edward Bruce killed by the English, near Dundalk, after having failed to become the Ard Ri, so long sought after by the Irish.
1361 An edict bans pure-blooded from becoming mayors, baillifs,
officers of the king or clerygmen, serving the English.
1366 Statutes of Kilkenny forbade Irish/English marriages and preventing English to use Irish language, custom or laws.

I think you should be thinking of your own history of 50,000 dead at the hands of a fascist military junta, or the millions of dead Amerindians slaughtered on a daily basis by your military and camponeros.
How about the ethic cleansing in the Conquest of the Desert? A military campaign directed mainly by General Julio Argentino Roca in the 1870s, which established Argentine dominance over Patagonia, which was inhabited by indigenous peoples, leaving more than 1.5 million indigenous dead and decimating the indigenous Amerindian population.
You are from a country that has had more Generals as head of government than civilians! Rather than attacking the British, you should be looking at yourselves first.
There are tens of thousands of families still searching for the body of their child in Argentina, not knowing if that child is alive or dead. The perpetrators never kept records, most of the bodies were dumped in the sea, thrown out of aircraft flown by your heroic air force. Argentina is a nation run by a bunch of fascistic cowards.

1658 The population of Ireland,estimated at 1,500,000, before Cromwell, was reduced by two-thirds, to 500,000, at Cromwell's death in 1658. Massacred by the English.
1672 Over 6,000 Irish boys and women sold as slaves since England gained control of Jamaica.
1740 The Forgotten Famine in which is estimated over 40,000 Irish starved to death because of English dominance over irish food production.
By 1848 through emigration and deaths by famine, Ireland's
population decreased by more than 2 million people (8.5 to 6.5). All caused by English monopoly of Ireland's economy and food production.
When thousands of Irish people were starving to death the English landlords were exporting Irish meat, dairy products and grain to England.
1879 More famine. Thousands of starving irish farmers evicted from their homes and left to starve to death in the gutter.
Irish National League founded followed by the 1879-82 Land War when desperate irish peasants fought armed English soldiers for the right to stay on their land and in their homes.
1916Easter Rising in Dublin. May 3-12
1919-21Irish War of Independence against Britain.
And despite this sorry history of English tyranny and murder in ireland Briton still expresses that famous English racist attitude to Ireland and its people denigrating them as sub human.
Old habits die hard eh Briton? Remember when English hotels had signs in their windows saying: “No Blacks or Irish”?

Oct 29th, 2011 - 11:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You've established yourself as a racist and hate monger peddling false history.
Go back 1000+ years in British history and you can tell a story about the battles between Anglos and Celts. So too in Ireland you will find conflict between Danes and Celts, Normans and Celts, English and Irish, Irish and Scottish, Scottish and Irish. The history of Scotland, you will find battles between the Scots and Irish (the latter who colonised parts of Scotland), the Anglos and the Celts, the English and the Scottish. Likewise the Welsh. Go back to medival Ireland you will find stories of the massacres of English settlers and similar stories of the Irish. Clashes between Protestantism and Roman Catholicism , neither of which were the exclusive preserve of people of respectfully English or Irish decent. Ireland was flooded with English Catholics following the reformation.
Take a look at Irish politics, you can still see the names in Irish politicians, there are more anglo-Norman and English surnames than Irish. The anglo-Irish played a major part in the War of Independence on the Republican side. The first Irish President was a Protestant.
But none of this suits those who claim to be Irish on the basis of a 5th cousin and a 200 year old link via the family tree. They can be very inventive with their hatred of everything British. The entire history of Ireland changes into one homogeneous whole of the Irish struggle against the British oppressors.
But none of this suits O gara, I doubt he has ever been to Ireland, in fact I doubt he is Irish at all. He certainly believes in terrorism. Blowing London and Manchester up were great, yet what about the children and innocent civilians murdered? No these are of no concern to the fanatics of this world. I wouldn't be surprised if O Gara is up to his neck in the blood of the children of Argentina killed in the 70's and 80's under their fascist junta
Firstly let me remind ourselves we are on the Argentina news side of mercopress.Secondly may I tell those English collaborators Ihave no intention of not informing the public of the shameful behaviour of the english colonialists in my country during almost a millenium.

To sum O Gara up - the entire history of the world can be blamed on the English. The more hate that can be generated against the English the sooner Argentina will be able to take ownership of a group of islands it has never owned (apart from 2 months of military occupation in 1982 carried out by a military fascist government up to its neck in the blood of 50,000 of its own people - mainly children - tortured and raped before their bodies were dumped into the South Atlantic, their families never to know their graves)!

But what I do know is that the population of Ireland in 1845 was over nine million but thanks to the savagery of English rule it had fallen to just over 4 in 50 years.Where was the Hague court then to try the savages who encouraged not allowed food exports out of my country while people starved

Their is no English blogger [or is their ]]
Did you know that Gladstone fought very much for the Irish cause,
There were over 80 Irish MPs at Westminster,
Millions of British poor also suffered greatly over the centuries,
And millions died,, if you don’t learn from the past, then you have no future,
Argentina therefore falls straight into this very trap, you want to steal something you never owned,
You are not wanted or welcome,
And, if you ever did get the Falklands, then Argentina would suffer the same as other dictators in another mans country that is not wanted,
is the great Argentina willing to put up with bloodshed on there own doorstep, after all, you cant have it both ways,
As you so conveniently put it,
Brits out of Ireland,, ,Argies out of the Falklands,, you would only be repeating what you and others condemn your selves, now that not to clever is it .

I've seen the film and it's not an accurate portrayal of the War of Independence. For starters it only showed one side. The Republicans committed a lot of cold blooded murders and atrocities. Films that claim to be historical but only show one side and in a “holier than thou ” light can only be described as propaganda.
Iluminados Por El Fuego is a film you should watch, you brave military officers and NCO, the conscripts swept up from the poorest barros Buenos Aires of and you brainless public blaming them for the lost war.
This is what mindless nationalism does to a nation, creates hate. The kind of hate we see here every day pumped out by your mindless patriots, towards a people who want nothing to do with you.
“In Ireland” you've never been to Ireland, if you had you wouldn't open your mouth on the subject. You'd know better.

That’s a bit hypercritical is it not,
English recognize they did Ethnic cleansing
And did not most of the world, including Argentina,
And we recognize the planters cans be thrown out
And that also includes most of the world, and Argentina,
If that’s not anti English then what is,
The British, in the past did no more or no less than the rest of the world in part,
And today we the British, have left the past behind and working with nations for peace, then we come to Argentina, who despite her promises still live and operate from the 18th century do they not .

Fantasy - quite correct for a change, Northern Ireland becoming part of Eire has as much chance as the Falklands becoming part of Argentina. NONE!
The one thing that the IRA did manage to achieve was that the Government of Eire dropped its claim to Northern Ireland. Well done lads. 3 decades of petty terrorism, mostly against your own people, and you achieved what Britain had failed to do.
The IRA got Stormont closed, and the peace process got it reopened. Another big win for the IRA.

Joffre makes a good point if one considers his words in the present context.
America is no friend to Britain now and although I cannot see any future armed conflict between Britain and Argentina over the Falklands it would be very difficult for Britain should such a conflict re-occur.
Who would support the UK? How would it raise sufficient military resources - especially naval - and how would it raise the funding for such a venture?
Even in the unlikely event of oil rigs and facilities around the Islands being attacked by some extreme nationalist group, Britain would be very tested to provide the ships and aircraft necessary to provide 24 hour protection.
But of course I speak hypothetically as such a scenario is unimaginable.

Hong Kong was a seperate issue. The Island belonged to us and China never disputed that. The New Territories were leased from them. They didn't wish to renew the lease and that was up to them. The island was not worth it on its own, so we gave it up.
If you two fools see any similarity in that then you're both dafter than I thought!
“ It is sufficient to talk to any Buenos Aires cabdriver to understand
that the Argentine people know that the Falkland Islands will not be
“recovered” by Argentina..... the “malign lie” consists of claiming that Argentina will recover the Islands if it adopts a “tough” policy. Most politicians
from both major political parties, as well many professional diplomats, engage in this type of lie, ... It proposes to increase
the British costs of remaining in the Falklands, without taking
account of the fact that in order to increase the British costs one must
augment the Argentine costs, and without realizing that Britain has
infinitely more economic, diplomatic and military resources than
Argentina. There is no way of making Britain “spend more” without
Argentina herself spending more as well. And the increased British
costs will always represent a much smaller percentage of total British
resources, than the increased Argentine costs vis-à-vis total Argentine
resources. ”

Think - at last you have admited that there is nothing you can do about the oil exploration. The reason you can do nothing is that you have no legal argument. This is probably because the Falkalnd Islands are not soverignty territory of your country and never will be, they are (or part of them) not under lease and the population wish to remain British.

Oct 30th, 2011 - 11:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Even a woman’s brain could see the logic of including some “Extra” codes in the military hardware you sell to others….................:
I quote:
”10 lsolde Oct 29th, 2011 Well that makes sense sr Think. l wouldn't sell sophisticated weapons to an unstable, unreliable half-cocked nation either without some form of a safety catch.”
But then, a certain lazy Squatterette didn’t dare to disavow Mr. Justin(hishead)Kuntz and risk his wrath.
I quote some of his “technical” arguments:
1) ”There is no such thing as an abort code built into a missile, for the every simple reason an adversary could exploit it to turn your weapons off.” he said…………..
- What is stopping the producer of any sophisticated weapons system to include malvare codes into what they sell to third countries….. I ask?
2) ”You have to explode the warhead 7-10 m after penetrating the side of the ship travelling at around 250 m/s. So you have to detect impact and 40 ms later detonate the warhead and your electronics have to keep working through shocks of 1000 g or more during impact. Its not a trivial problem.” He says…………………
-You don’t have to do anything my dear …. You have electronic components that do monitor time and distance in nanoseconds and nanometers. 1000 g or more during impact is nothing; this is what those things are designed and constructed for.
I could, in the same spirit, explain to you the intricate mechanics and physics involved in the operation of a hairdryer or a curler my dear Isolde.
I assure you: “It’s not a trivial problem.”

If there was such a code for the Exocets 1. they wouldn't have hit our ships and 2. no other nation would ever buy the missile again.
Neither of these things happened.
Also the Exocet is a fire and forget weapon as far as i've read, It has no communication with the ship after launch.

This discussion was not about doing business with Argentina it was simply indicating that the support you claim from your neighbours is anything but support. They are happy to placate you with words but when they see the dollar they are quite happy to do business and ignore your verbal nonsense.
All “your” actions have done is cut you out of any money and your neighbours have seized the opportunity to make a quick buck at your expense. Taking action is meant to hurt the other side and not shoot yourself in the foot! Well done :-)

Oct 30th, 2011 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Missile deactivation codes don't exist. We're talking about the Exocet in 1982. The complex digitally controled fuzes didn't emerge till the 1990s. The first I can think of is the Hard Target Smart Fuze tested in 1995. Back in 1982, fuzing was a simple contact plus delay.
The ability to reliably sense impact, then detonate the warhead after a small delay, was not a trivial problem then and still isn't today. A simple example is a quartz timer, its a solid state device and inherently hard against 'g' but there is a problem. Its a piezoelectric device so when you apply a strain rate, its characteristics change, so its ability to measure time changes when it experiences unpredictable high 'g' impact. So while there are devices able to accurately measure time, there aren't too many that can reliably measure time under high 'g' loads.
So back in 1982, the fuzes then in use were simple electro-mechanical devices and not something amenable to a “deactivation code”. Not mention the kinetic energy of a 1500 lb missile travelling at M 0.85 and the hazard of burning fuel. That of itself makes deactivating the fuze useless.
There is another problem, Exocet flies at 1-2 m above the water, it comes over the radar horizon at around 6 km. If you're lucky a surveillance radar might catch it about 24 s before impact. A Type 965 radar turned at 8-10 rpm, and the 2 or 3 paints you need to establish a track takes around 12-15 s, reducing your response time further. This is why the RN relied on Electronic Support Measures to identify an Exocet attack.
However, the technical problems pale into insignificance because Exocet is fire and forget and doesn't have a datalink ie you can't talk to it once it is launched.
it will be the most expensive oil of the world if you need so much supply and such a complicated way of extraction and putting it on a vessel.
Oct 30th, 2011 - 07:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0lets see if you can answer quickly
contract supply ships with what flag??
and those contract ships move to chile dont they??
Malen - what is complicated about FPSO? Done all around the world and already planned in the FI. The oil will go straight from under the sea bed onto a tanker via the FPSO and straight to refinery :-) such an operation is viable to a 43m find at an oil price of $30 per barrel. Care to back up your claims? As FPSO is the method of choice these days then this will be cheaper than you imagine. Offshore mean no land ownership issues or mineral rights issues so costs come down further.
Oct 30th, 2011 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The supply ships are predominatly flagged in Norway and Denmark and that beautiful rig is flagged in Panama and the crews of those ships have been bringing welcome business to Brazil.
Malen, time to stop digging yourself into a new hole. Your argument is already full of holes. We look forward to more business dealings with the progressive nations in the South American continent. Argentina is happy to take actions that result in lost trade, sound perfectly sensible to me.

Please believe me, We Are Not Enemies.
For the Argentines: please dont forget the real enemy: Great Britain.
The target must be London, not Port Stanley.
In some point of view, they are victims of the British Empire as we do.
and
They have the right to exist. As we do in 1810 and 1816.
and
They are British, in the same way Kipling was a British born in India.
Last but not least. The family of one of my grandmothers come from Falklands to Patagonia in the end of the 19th. century. They were shepperds of Scott origin leaving the domain of the FIC.
So, Why are we fighting between us? Meanwhile, perfid Albion smile.
Perhaps we must talk and negotiate. Between us.

What was holy in 1982 has apparently lost its virginity at Obama's hands plus world crisis... and btw #124 Conqueror, iro the second line of your song, do you think your mother will donate hers?
Nov 02nd, 2011 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0179, I guess you know “your people” better than me, however he sounds like he had a few Quilmes before the speech :-)

Argentine's around the world demand UN and NATO to take action against the occupation of Islas Malvinas Argentina or to allow for a nuclear defence program to be build in Argentina to protect the main land from any farther occupation and theft of land in Argentina. That simple.

Nov 02nd, 2011 - 10:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In spite that i dont share in absolut the ideology of this guy, in fact, in some oportunities hes comments respecting others issues were really despisable, i value so much the fact that he investigated and wrote a book, i will buy it, because i investigate also about the history of the islands, and the conflict of 1982.
Nov 02nd, 2011 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I already knew some of the things he says, but i didn't know that thatcher joined the holy alliance, anyway, it was obvious that u. s. a was going to help the u. k., it wasn't going to allow that a dictatorship wins a war to one the main members of the security councill. There is surelly so much interesting information in that book, some day i will writte a book also, but i need to investigate more and more, it will take years.
There is something that i never recognized in this forum, but actually i have always thought it, if the war wouden't have happened, or if argentina had won the war, we wouldn't have recovered the democracy in 1983, surelly the dictatorship would have lasted much more years, it' very hard to recognize, but unortunatelly i think it's true, i know that i am not saying nothing new, but i need to say it, because the argentine democracy oughts so much to our veterans.
#186 you must know all about special needs, tell us is it a family thing??

Nov 04th, 2011 - 06:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0With just conventional explosives in the mix, Fabricaciones Militares managed to do enormous damage to the city of Rio Tercero, and you want to give them access to nuclear weapons? If that happens, the Argentineans will be the main victims. When will they learn that their armed forces are goobers who can't be trusted to manage anything more dangerous than a piece of string?
