    For what reason does Argentina need to know? Were they used? Does he think they are still here?
    Perhaps we ought to insist they remove their war dead? Perhaps they ought to make reparations for the damage they caused? Maybe they could apologise for making boobytraps out of children's toys? Or using people's houses as open toilets? Or using civilians as human shields? Or painting red crosses on arms dumps? Or placing heavy weapons amongst the civilian population?
    Two-faced coward.

    Think,
    The Ballistic Missile carrying subs were not involved down here at all. Possible that a few ships have local artillery type nuclear shells in their magazines-maybe standard practice- but highly unlikley that they were not offloaded enroute south.
    You get excited over nothing- all N powers always keep their systems on high alert and ready for instant use- no damn point in having them otherwise - that's why they are called a “deterrent”. against others who also have them.

    About ”DOUBLE STANDARD's? How it is with the rights and social position of the original people from Arg.? My dear vice-[presidente, I am a great fan from the people from your country (from the Netherlands, you say HOLLAND because the misfitting education...) but ... shall you not put more energy/money/attention to bring the ARA-San Jose from the bottom? We have the company's and equipment whom can fix the Job, as done with the nuclear-submarine from Russia! Please think twice with your statements and act more properly!

    What you have to remember “Think” is that to defeat Argentina we didn't need our “impotent Nucleur Dick” waving or otherwise.

    It took us 6 weeks to make your coward navy too frightened to leave port, to get your coward army out from behind their human shield, and to make you take revenge on your own “El Presidente” for humiliating you on the world stage, Again!

    You of course were lucky that we stopped where we did, the Bully in the story is Argentina who obsessing over a couple of thousand islanders led you hundreds of unnecessary deaths.

    We know that the ONLY reason why you don't attack again, is because like all Bullies, you are also cowards.....not scared of “nuclear Bully dicks” but scared of humiliating yourselves with your cowardice AGAIN!

    Think the keyboard warrior,

    “The United Kingdom had sent nuclear weapons to the Falkland Islands in 1982”

    Sometimes you may need more than a big stick, why would you limit your options?
    If they hadn't they would have been in a serious dereliction of duty.

    Besides, they weren’t playing cricket, and it was Argentina that gave the UK the colour of right, of self-defence.
    Specifically United Nations Security Council Resolution 502 which is bona fide international law; and the UN charter (Article 51) permitted the UK’s military response as a matter of lawful self-defence.

    Perhaps Skippy — “THE LOKAL LEGEND” can again remind everyone here of MP about his profane false valor claims to serving the RAF during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis.

    It’s been revealed that THE LOKAL LEGEND was born in 1977 in Utah.

    This entire sordid sad history with a full biography of Skippy (aka “Terence Hill”) will happily provided to anyone interested is available.

    The UK insists that the Argentine foreign minister has a wash, gets a haircut, shaves and learns to tie a tie.

    The UK also insists the Argentine foreign minister goes and fucks himself.

    “...the Argentine foreign minister has a wash, gets a haircut, shaves and learns to tie a tie.”

    The Argentine Foreign Minister needs to explain why, in the Peronist Economic Paradise, he is unable to obtain the running water, soap, shampoo, razors, etc necessary to maintain rudimentary grooming.

    Thank you for revealing your true propensity as a lying malignant narcissist.
    Skippy is your sock-puppet who you are drawn to, because he apparently has a much more exciting life than watching fruit grow.
    As to the rest of your falsehoods, the truths a bitch.
    Oh, what shame I get to show again what a lying bag of shite you really are.

    OK Think- maybe a few ships did still have their standard allocation of nuclear 4.5 inch shells onboard - so what - they are probably standard issue that each ship carries X number just in case the button is pressed in another scenario - in that case - not Argentina.

    AGAIN I need to remind everyone that Skippy — “THE LOKAL LEGEND” is LYING!

    His false valor claims of serving in the RAF during the 1962 Cuban missile crisis is complete BULLSHIT!

    Skippy Jessop (aka “Terence Hill”) was born in 1977 in Utah.

    I will also remind the LIER that being a fruit grower is one of the most rewarding advocations to aspire.

    I will happily provide more detailed information about his complete history upon request!

    The only bullshit provided here is by you, as I have provided proof of my claim; and you haven’t.

    “Valliant’s of No. 18 Squadron RAF at RAF Finningley were modified to the ”radio countermeasures” (RCM) role—now called “electronic countermeasures” (ECM). These aircraft were ultimately fitted with American APT-16A and ALT-7 jamming transmitters, Airborne Cigar and Carpet jammers, APR-4 and APR-9 “sniffing” receivers, and chaff dispensers. At least seven Valliant’s were configured to the RCM role”

    “Slander, triangulation, character assassination

    There are several ways how the narcissist employs their lies and projections, and the goal is always to turn others against you in hope that they won’t try to figure out the truth.
    One of the ways to do that is triangulation. In psychology, it means controlling and manipulating communication between two parties. It is related to gossiping, smearing, and slandering, where the narcissist spreads false information around. A more extreme version of all of that is character assassination, where the lies are much more severe and damaging.

    Closer analysis
    If you actually examine the narcissists narrative, you quickly notice that they are full of crap.”

    Skippy did NOT serve in the RAF during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis!

    We know that “THE LOKAL LEGEND” was actually born in 1977!

    As I stated earlier — an experienced RAF airman in 1962 with a qualified technical rating then would have had to be at least in his early twenties and would be an octogenarian today! (Skippy is currently in his mid-40s and simple mathematics cannot be ignored.)

    A recent video of Skippy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28bXknKv9Uo

    There are other MP readers here that share this similar conclusion!

    “Skippy did NOT serve in the RAF during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis!”

    That's because he is your sock-puppet, not Terence Hill

    “We know that “THE LOKAL LEGEND” was actually born in 1977!”

    That’s an impossibility since I serviced electronic countermeasures equipment indicated.
    Further, I have provided documentary proof from 1963. While you have provided no proof, thus no truth.

    Careful, Molly will get you again.

    “Narcissists are renowned for using psychological projection to blame other people, even when it is entirely apparent that they are the ones in the wrong. With regards to the narcissist, they too can have deep and repressed feelings, this is because their view of the world is so cut off from real life. It is not that a typical narcissist fails to know the difference between right and wrong. They do, it’s that when they themselves fail, they feel such an incredible sense of shame that they cannot deal with it.
    Their delicate ego has to be protected at all costs and so the blame for the failure has to be directed elsewhere.
    A narcissist is basically an empty husk of a human being who manufactures an attractive exterior in which to fool the people around him or her. Narcissists do not know how to feel love, pain, empathy or guilt, and seemingly surround themselves with people who have the exact qualities they lack.”

    About him having a much better time than growing fruit, and Terence Hill’s name is nowhere to seen.

    “The most common way narcissists create alternative narratives is by projecting. If they say that the other person is jealous of them, then you know that the narcissist is jealous. If they say that the other person was lying and cheating, they were the one lying and cheating. But more often than not whatever the narcissist is presenting the other person as is a much more accurate description of the narcissist. The mechanism here is that in the narcissists mind they try to attribute their own unhealthy behavior, perspective, and character traits to the other person because it shifts attention and responsibility from them. And if the other person is all these bad things, then it can’t be that I am these things thinks the narcissist I’m the good guy here.”

    “What you say about others says a lot about you, research shows
    “Your perceptions of others reveal so much about your own personality,” says Dustin Wood, assistant professor of psychology at Wake Forest and lead author of the study, about his findings
    The study appears in the July issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
    … negative perceptions of others are linked to higher levels of narcissism and antisocial behavior. “A huge suite of negative personality traits are associated with viewing others negatively,” Wood says.
    This research suggests that when you ask someone to rate the personality of.., you may learn as much about the rater. The level of negativity the rater uses in describing the other person, may also be a tip off”

    The development of narcissistic traits is in many cases, a consequence of neglect or excessive appraisal. In some cases, this pathological self-structure arises under childhood conditions of inadequate warmth, approval and excessive idealization, where parents do not see or accept the child as they are.”
