Argentina asks UN to bring UK into talks

[Black_Apalachi]

I wouldn't put it past the UN to tell us to just hand it over! If it comes to it, what sort of military are we talking about with Argentina? I'm guessing there's no risk of invasion on the UK? Also, if we want to go to war with them, does the UN have any say in the matter? What would happen if we went against its wishes?

Theres no risk from what I can see and afterall we have a nuclear system which could leave us untouched and Argentina a hole in the ground in a worst case scenario; even if there was it wouldn't make any difference to me;- its our land and we should defend it at all costs. On the UN, it can pass resolutions but i'm not sure they can actually become an offical resolution because the UK is one of the 5 Permanent Security Council Members (WW2 victors and their successors; UK, US, RF, PROC and France) so we can veto it at any time.

Brazil who want to become Permanent Security Council Members are demanding that we hand the Falklands over to Argentina, so i'd tell Brazil they can stick their bid because there no way i'd give them a seat if they are going to act in that manner. Oh and on a side note we should also ask for the Argentinians, Brazillians and so forth to leave South America because in their logic if we shouldnt be in the Falklands then they shouldnt be in South America as they were a product of Spanish/Portugese colonialism!

Argentina would be *****slapped aside like they were before. Obama doesn't 'support' us because we hardly need the support of the USA to deal with Argentina, he's not going to jeopardise relations with the southern half of the continent for the sake of nothing.

Hit the nail of the proverbial head, there, Stefan.

Argentina need to accept the people inhabiting those islands are British, and want to continue being British, and that our nation is no push-over, and should they propose any acts of war we should take action.

I hardly doubt the U.S. will support Argentina if they don't support us. Also I wasn't referring to WWIII over the Falklands I mean just the general climate.

I agree with the previous post about the U.S. showing their colours, worse thing is we can't do much or we'll lose one of our powerful allies, infact our most.

Argentina have wanted their islands back for a very long time. The Brits need the oil and now the Argentinians are angry.
Give the Argentinian isles back to the Argentinians.
