    Bit extreme. Being from the UK I couldn’t give a shit one way or another which stupid authoritarian government gets custody of the islands and while I am sure the people who live on them do care and presumably the government does a bit, all it all I suspect the vast majority of ppl here would see it as a total shrugfest either way.

      I don’t think it is extreme they would have attacked Britain twice, there need to be severe consequences for that and a message needs sent.

      We should have done it the first time in my opinion.

      Then again it won’t happen because even the Typhoons stationed there would be more than enough.

          Not if attacked no I don’t, why pay billions to have them if you aren’t going to make an example. Seems the world’s not taking Britain seriously thanks to Trump.

          I think using it would make the world realise just how dangerous these things are and a lot of things would get fixed after. Would be a nice little message to both Putin and others as a bonus.

              What would be unhinged would be needing to send troops there yet again, it’s not the UK’s fault if Argentina didn’t learnt it’s lesson the first time.

              The people on the Falklands are as British as the people living in London.

              If they get attacked again Britain should respond with full force and prevent a third time ever happening.

                Its stupid to kill people at all over a pointless territorial dispute. Its UNHINGED to suggest killing cities worth of civillians with a nuke because of beef between their authoritarian admins.
