2nd April 1982 - the world's first phone-in war. Patrick Watts talks with eye witnesses to the Argentine invasion of the Falkland Islands as they see it happening outside their windows. 60 Royal Marines fighting a fierce battle against the entire Argentine military might. Sir Rex Hunt - cool, calm and in command!

In 1833, when Britain invaded Malvinas Islands, and took them from Argentina, there were no radio.

You should read carefully that UN Res: "6. Any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and the territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations." UK invaded Islas Malvinas in 1833 and expelled the population and the argentine governor. Since that moment Argentina never ceased its claim and will never do. You are the colonial habitants that broght UK to colonice the Argentina Malvinas Islands.

hhahaha you fool, go back to your cave you bitter little argie moron. Argentina have never owned the islands legally.

Argentina's policy seems to be that any scrap of land that's within range of its ships belongs to them - as long as its only lightly defended.

And no indignant population to say who they wanted in control. Nobody could talk to the penguins so no opposition to the sailors.
