Well I was the fear of the use of Nulclear weapons that stopped a war between the USSR and USA!

That is the point, it would stop an invasion by Argentina!

Stop being so ridiculous. It would not stop an invasion because the Argentinians know we wouldn't use them.

And that's because it was a stalemate with both countries pointing missiles at each other.

And it would involve us in a massive multinational conflict. If we use nuclear weapons against a country that gave us no nuclear threat, then the rest of the world would turn against us.

Do you think Alan has war games set up in his bedroom. And when his mum tells him it's time for bed, he finishes the game by pretending to nuke the enemy, and knocks them all flying off the table?

well act your age then and use a bit of common sense instead of posting that kind of drivel
Reality check for Mr Fry .
The current issue re Argentina and the Falklands will be sorted out by very boring diplomatic means .There will be no war ,no nuclear weapons used or threatened to be used and 1000's of troops will not be mobilised .In fact we will probably blink and miss any resolutions that are reached

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising again ahead of Prince William visit
Well the Argies might block the flights from Chile flighing oover Argie airspace, which take food / goods & Chilean workers to the Falklands.
OK then can they not fly over the south pole?

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising again ahead of Prince William visit
Theres actually no need to put a bomber near the Falklands, with a trident having a range of 12000 km and the Falklands being a touch over 12000 km from to uk to there. We could, but wont, fire them from anywhere.

"Middle Aged"
There will be no society if countries start throwing nuclear weapons about.

What would happen is that is dispute will carry on and things will remain the same, as it has done for hundreds of years (bar 1982)

Re: Falkland Islands: Tensions Rising again ahead of Prince William visit
Can we move on from the nuclear weapons discussion? Everyone knows where everyone stands on it and it's being going on in a circle for a few pages now.
