Was there more to the Falklands war than just giving the Argies a slap?
Could it be that the huge coal and oil deposits in British Antarctica might have been the real reason?
Answer:
yes of course and i'm surprised in 25 years it hasn't been exploited yet///but it will be
It was Maggie stating who was boss!
Of course there was. All the sheep and corned beef. How the hell could we live without them.
It is prohibited by international treaties to mine in Antarctica
Presently prohibited to mine the Antarctic.
But rules are always bent or broken.
Actually, the Brits wanted to protect all the sheep on the island so they would have something to take with them on long sea voyages.
That does not sound plausible.
No part of Antarctica is owned by any nation. There is no mining or even exploration for useful deposits permitted in Antarctica, by treaty.
Even if there were coal or oil and even if there were no treaty to prohibit extracting it, the Falklands would not be any real help in that effort, IMO.
it is a strategic point for the New World Order
I think it had something to do with the fact that a foreign power sent military forces onto British soil and turned the residents, British Citizens, British TAX payers and holders of British passports from living in a democratic country to Military dictatorship. Its the same principle as if they had landed in Scotland or marching down Piccadilly Circus.
Why can people not see this? Its so basic.
I agree with jb...have a bit of respect...a lot of brave men died for the principle of freedom...and to fight a totalitarian regime...so it was far more than giving the argies a slap.The reason was to free British citizens in British territory.and rightly so.
