Falklands 2.0

The Argentinian sabre-rattling is starting to get British attention. Isles Malvinas may once again be a useful distraction for the Argentine government faced with domestic problems.

Hi, good blog but this is probably bullshit, I have to read it all first. The ship was captured because it was in argentine waters. It had a flag not recognised (Falklands I think to remember). There was no violence from both parts.

>distraction for the Argentine government
what distraction?. The media talked about a captured ship for a day and that´s all. Easy to check

We have many problems but to use malvinas as a distraction is higly improbable.
I doubt we have more planes.
BTW it is "Islas Malvinas".

Rolling Stones, U2 and all the international groups we have each week is more of a distraction, and don´t forget this is football cup year, that is enough distraction.

I doubt we have more planes.

Maybe it is distracion for Malvina´s people, which I heard are not happy with some UK resolutions that affect them (don´t remember exactly).

BTW it is "Islas Malvinas".

Islas Malvinas! I really did know that. It was an amusing article to see, but I have to assume that you're right. Anything further over the Malvinas/Falklands would be crazy.
