Horrible horrible RN militarising the Caribbean and fighting crime for the good of many-hold on, aren't we supposed to be pirates?
Also, weren't Argentina supposed to help out in the Caribbean after a few people allegedly supported their Falklands claim?
Where is the Argy navy? It hasn't all sunk has it?
