Who does this mediocre fool think she and Argentina is? 30 years ago, her nation was still being ruled be a totalitarian government, and was beaten back from the invasion of our Falkland islands. Colonialism ended with the British Empirem and the people of the islands choose to remain a British overseas dependency. As for her comments on our decline, maybe she just doesn't understand that we command a formidable military and presence on a global scale... Argentina is the one in forever decline.

@FuturePsychologist Ha ha ha, Argentina, advanced? They are scientifically and military backwards by 30 years. They are weak, pathetic, a joke. They have a poor standard of living, a weak economy, no prestige whatsoever, the weakest military in south america, they are nothing.

@suecotube Uh, no. Argentinian life quality is much lower than Britain. You fucking imbecile.

[TheLiberalKnight]

If Britain is a 'class colonial power in decline', what the hell does that make Argentina?

Argentina is one of the most irrelivant, pathetic, weak, poor countries in the world. They are brutal, neo nazi fascists and make most countries feel sick.

Sorry, but until the yanks say they support Argentina, Argentina will get nowhere.

@Tullyj07 Right now, in 2012, the average argentinian lives so much better than the average british person. Argentina is 20 times bigger than UK, and Life Quality is so much better there than in UK

@iiShaanop yes thats including many of the countries like norway and switzerland and they are obviously best standard in the world! but i'm trying to just say that its not a third world country.. living in argentina myself.. it has better standards than many of the countries and life here is like first world :)

@FuturePsychologist to be more specific, i am saying in general society wise and HDI wise.. not military :P

[FuturePsychologist]

@Stupops78 a third world country.. argentina is actually more advanced than most European countries..

Haha a thrird world country trying to tell a modern first world country how to fight. I dont think so. Brits are naturally reserved and disciplined and therefore make excellent soldiers, history has proven time and time again this fact. A company of royal marines could hold back the whole argentine army! Ever heard of "the thin red line" holding back ill disciplined hordes. This was first used when, over a year by sail from home, the red coated british army defeated the indian sub continent.
