Vessel in distress to MRCC, “ mayday, mayday, mayday come in MRCC” At MRCC headquarters Juan says to Marcos “ turn the volume down I am trying to have a siesta”, Suddenly all goes quiet for a moment, then Juan says “ but we have no boat shall we send the Liberturd?” Marcos says “ just like everything that is a hassle, just ignore it , it might go away”

Of course you are correct. If an Argentine vessel or aircraft goes down in the sea or your Antarctic base bursts into flames we should ignore it. You can sort it out for yourself. Need assistance from an SAR Sea King from the Falklands ?
Need help from the HMS Protector ? No, we will just sail on by giving you a friendly wave. I am sure you would shun any help even if your life was in danger.

Historical, and even nowadays, events showed just the opposite

I can't remember who ended up saving the starving Rg scientist on Antarctica? Was that last year?
Who was it?
I guess Toby just wants them to die.

I cannot remember where ended the HMS Endurance..was in Puerto Belgrano?..it must be a Chilean Navy Base...

I also cannot remember where ended three Star Princess when some people suffered from nonovirus....

I alos cannot remember when two RAF Thypoons use the argentine air space (whit-out asking for the corresponding green-light) flying over Tierra del Fuego because they couldn't land in FI

There is someting we take for granted, no matter the “big wallet” the British Defense Forces has, no matter how much you hate us, no matter who much you sniff at us, you always will end in Argentina (the land you usually call “shit-hole”) for humanitarian assistance...

Tell that to the nutter troll ! If you understand irony, read my post again with that in mind.

The only thing that could produce hate against the Argentinians is their attitude to the Falkland Islanders.
In this country, 1982 is a raw nerve when we see the systematic denigration and belittling of them by your posters and especially your government.
You will have to remember that the posts in here represent the views of the people involved. An insult will get the same reply until it escalates into nonsense.
I am sure the people of the UK do not hate Argentinians... they probably never think about them. They are irrelevant to their daily lives as are the British to the Argentinians until your government goes on about the British war mongers and mythical nuclear weapons on the Falklands.
