[@picklewiickle.1583]

islands are out of the jurisdiction range of Argentina and the fact the country didnt even exist as is does today during the time its been inhabited. Hell they didnt even know it existed they had no ships .

[@MikeFoxtrot1]

Out of its jurisdiction? How far away are they from England?

[@picklewiickle.1583]

@@MikeFoxtrot1 same thing for both . fact is the people voted they wish to remain british , the land has never belonged to Argentina because when england occupied it Argentina didnt even exist they were tribes stuck in the stone age using rocks and spears

[@MikeFoxtrot1]

No, it's not the same thing. The islands are only 300 miles from Argentina and 8000 miles from the UK. Argentina declared independence in 1816, the British invaded the Argentine Islands in 1833. The population did not vote to be occupied by the British, the British forced the population from the islands and shipped in foreign settlers from Britain.

Congratulations to Argentinian Air Force. SUppose they had more than 5 Exocets what would have happened...The british must understand that their empire is finished.

[@nimbusxd91]

Lol no 🤡

[@EmperorOf]

the british empire was finished since suez

[@stephenpotts1158]

There would have been no Falklands war without Argentina creating a false sovereignty grievance. Territorial indoctrination by Argentina almost led to war with Chile in 1978, and led to the Falklands War in 1982.

They sank HMS Coventry, God Bless you. Sir 🇬🇧

No one likes war. But principal needs to be upheld. Media passive aid and comfort to the enemy by attacking the countries will from within is shameful

[@BK-uf6qr]

Sink a ship and kill some soldiers and a great power will fold??? While the enemy is further emboldened due to their losses. That’s not a winning formula

[@davidkennedy8702]

We come and we got it all back together again we are England so see how good we are wen it comes to us as we not go way

[@lkrnpk]

France: ''We're totally on your side, Britain! In case you need some Exocet missiles, we can sell you some for a good price!" Also goes and sells Exocet missiles to Argentines

[@richardvernon317]

@Gareth Cooke Just like the British Sold the Argies, Canberra bombers, Tiger Cat and Blowpipe SAMs and 1000lb bombs. A Blowpipe shot down a Harrier and some of those bombs did explode in British Ships.

@Ꞅeaᵹhán Ó Laochꝺha yeah it's mainly trolling from my part

[@j2msu341]

@Seaghán Ó Laodhcha true but after the Sheffield incident the gave the Brits the codes

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

Yes and it turns out they had a built in kill switch but never told anyone..That’s the thankyou we get for liberating Paris in 1945

What a glorious day for the Argentine Air Force.!!! As we always say in our country... "The Malvinas (Falklands) were, are and will be Argentine..."

What is "Britain" doing Thousands of miles away from home?

[@mylesoneill3066]

the falklands is part of Britain so we were at home

[@MikeFoxtrot1]

Britain is an island thousands of miles away.

[@mananaVesta]

Islands like the falklands are the last remnants of their world empire. The Brits rather destroyed their own Empire than let Germany have a place at the table. And now insignificant rocks in the ocean like the Falklands are their last pride, even if they`re ultimately worthless.

[@alexm7743]

HMS Sheffield was hit with bombs by Argentine Air Force planes on 01 may. Not by an Exocet missile on 04 may. This is why Britains sunk General Belgrano cruise on 02 may... tu put the score "1 to 1". Shame on you!

[@MikeFoxtrot1]

What a load of bullshit. So is the British lying?

[@jwadaow]

It was hit by an exocet.

[@j.boylan3343]

Its just a fact it was sunk by a exocet missile and we sunk the belgrano because we were at war it posed a threat. Your own government was killing your own people they had this war to keep attention away from what they were doing shame on you.

[@Nockturnmortem]

@@j.boylan3343 do you really believe the bullshit you write? Posed a threat? What a word...

[@alexm7743]

@Brian Coley The only thing that explains the coward attack on the Belgrano (out of the TEZ), was the fact that the day before Argentina hit with bombs HMS Sheffield. (military british secret).
