Actually its an opportunity for the SAS, Seals, or ANY competent nation's Special Forces to get in there & destroy whatever the RG idiots are up to before they get too carried away.

The trouble is it will never happen without the US and UK obtaining permission from the security council, so a rapidly deployed task force would be public knowledge as soon as China blabs it toi the argies.
So we might have to upgrade it to a PLATOON of UK boy scouts to be sure.
Just when you think these cunts can’t come up with anything worse to threaten any other country they come up with a GLOBAL threat.
Isolde is absolutely correct in what she has posted.
It could of course be a way to get the rest of us to pay them big bucks to stop.
Good for Argentina!! I have said many times that they should go nuclear especially when you read that Margaret Thatcher was ready to nuke the city of Cordoba in Argentina if the war did not go her way in the Falklands/Malvinas war.........A couple of nukes in her possesion would make any foe think twice in nuking any cities in Argentina.....ummmmm

I used to believe that but no longer do. Argentina should just develop a strategy to thwart a nuclear attack, a defensive shield of sorts, and also massive anti-aircraft ability. Make it onerously costly for the UK to attack Argentina when they try again to invade us in the future as they have done in the past trying to destroy us.

Impoverished nations and Nuclear technology does not mix. Too much temptation for cutting costs and corners.
and they have the cheek to complain that we might have an oil spill, if there is a leak with their nuke technology, which probably will, it will more than likely affect us in the Falklands in less than 12 hours. So maybe we should go complaining to the UN, it is also too close to the untouched Antarctica, well apart from the parts that Argentina have raped already.

1) The Atucha I Nuclear Power Station was started in 1968 and began operation in 1974; it was the first nuclear power plant in Latin America.
The plant is a Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). It employs a mixture of natural uranium and enriched uranium. It generates 357 MWe of electricity, supplying about 2.5% of the total Argentinean electricity production.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atucha_I_Nuclear_Power_Plant
2) The Embalse Nuclear Power Station was started in 1974 and began operation in 1983 (first criticality March 13 1983, declared commercial Jan 20 1984).
The plant is a CANDU Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR). It employs natural uranium. It generates 648 MW of electricity, supplying nearly 4.5% of the production of the Argentine Interconnection System.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atucha_I_Nuclear_Power_Plant
3) ) The Atucha II Nuclear Power Station was started in 1981 but construction was suspended until 2006 when the present Argentinean Administration reactivated it …
The plant is slated to come on line with an installed capacity of about 750 MW (3% of Argentina's total electric installed capacity).
Atucha II was “pre-started” on September 28, 2011 by President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and it began to produce energy on June 3, 2014

@38
Yes!! My thoughts exactly. But not to worry. The Argentine nuclear physicists have a secret tool to deal with any reactor problems: The Peso.
The Argentine peso has already proven itself to cause any economic activity around it to cease if it accumulated in sufficient amounts. So the Argentine reactor techs will just stuff pesos down the reactor tank if there is any problem, in the assumption that all nuclear activity around them will cease as well...

@42
Jun 27th, 2014 - 12:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm new, essentially. I was doing some research into Argentine junk bonds some months ago when I came across these pages. Then I got to reading articles about the Falklands, and came across some quotes from various Argentine politicians, talking about the islanders in terms of “illegal squatters”, “implanted population” and so on. It sent cold chills down my spine because the only time in the past history when politicians have spoken words like that it was in conjunction with genocide or ethnic cleansing (Hitler, Stalin, Milosevic etc).
As I read further into it I realized it wasn't just huffy politicians in Argentina - they have been indoctrinating their children and falsifying history books to create a frenzy in the general population about the islands and how the people living on the islands have stolen them from the Argentine Fatherland etc. Even more chilling parallels to really bad things in history past.
And to top it off, Argentina is rapidly sinking into an economic and political mess that will be hard recover from. It is a near perfect parallel to events in recent history that ended really badly.
At first I thought that maybe I'm just overreacting, things like that doesn't happen in 2014. But then the Ukraine crisis hit (again, eerie parallels) and I realized that things like that can indeed happen in 2014 if no one pays attention.
So I felt I had to say something - I could at least put in some comments when people don't seem to see the problem brewing....
As far as where am I from? Sweden actually, although at the moment I'm living in the US...
So I guess you can understand how grateful we are for the UK military presence down here. A military presence that the Argentine Government has the hide to describe as the aggressor.

Jun 27th, 2014 - 03:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Nice thoughts, actually, but it is not that simple. A hundred years ago, Argentina was richer and more prosperous than most countries in Western Europe, including Germany.
What in the world happened?
Did you run out resources? No, Argentina is one of the most resource rich countries in the world, and in the past century you have discovered even more resources. Where do you think the name “Argentina” comes from?
So in 100 years you went from being richer than Germany to approaching the GDP of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. All the while sitting on resources that most countries could only dream of.
So what happened? It's called bad politics and mismanagement. You squandered your riches, simply put.
In the meanwhile, on the Falklands, the people there have built a tremendous economy, well managed and prosperous. And they did so in the face of harsh weather conditions and a belligerent neighbor who tries to block them, embargo them, and sanction them at every turn. That is worth a lot in my book.
So no, I don't think you should leave the islanders alone. I think you should invite them over to show you how to manage a country and an economy.
You can laugh, but that would solve both the Argentine economic problems and the Malvinas problem in one shot.
Something to ponder for your generation...
Argentina has no resources left, which is partly why the decline. The other major reason is that all countries rise and fall. We rose, now we fall. It has happened to all nations, it will happen to all nations. But that's really irrelevant here.

Argentina has no resources to re-develop. Agriculture is not a resource in the 21st century. Mining is a drug, never provided true long-term development anywhere. Oil and gas are temporary and probably on their way out anyway.
Argentina as a country is simply running is course out. Birth, rise, zenith, decline, temporary bounce, more decline, repeate process until final collapse (which is not this one, don't you all get too excited).

With 10 billion people to feed around the world, agriculture is a massive resource in the 21st century. But your government has to put in policies and practices to allow farmers to actually make money from their crops. Right now you're not doing that.
Same thing with mining. It costs money to prospect any potential mineral field. Can't bring in $$, can't do it.
Plenty of resources, massive lack of management skills to do it...

Jun 27th, 2014 - 08:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0OK. So you do know something of your country's history. But let's see what you remember:
“during the past 12 years has send more than 1.500 of its old fascist top brass behind bars…”
Fine. But the social structure in the country that created the fascist brass in the first place is still there. Your government is financially starving the military because they know that a powerful Argentine military would claw it's way back to power.
In 1982 you went all out to cheer your fascist top brass for taking fascist action against an innocent neighbor. Then they lost and you turned against them. So are you jailing them for being fascist or for not being fascist enough?
And about the Swede with a diplomatic gene - what has that got to do with Argentina?
Let's see if you have done your history lessons here: Dagmar Hagelin
Så vet du vad det handlar om, käre vän...

Let's see what you know and remember about YOUR country's history....
Dagmar Hagelin, you say...?
Her killer and most of his bosses are in jail for the rest of their lives or have already died in jail... thanks for asking...
That's more than it can be said about a certain Country who's State Minister (Olof..., PRESENTE!) was shot as a dog in the streets decades ago and whose authorities haven't done a ferking shiat to find and punish the real culprits...
As you say..., the fascist social structure responsible for Dagmar's death is still here...... and we are fighting it every single day...
What about Gamla “Neutralt” Sverige...?

Being mindful of at least getting an emergency tyre repair onboard I have tried to find the aerosol “fix it and blow the tyre up” solution and after several months of searching I now have one.
Guess what it says on the side of the can?
Yes I know, I must be an optimist.
