Falklands movie

Nice aircraft. Britain built some real nice ones in the 1950's- check out the Hawker Hunter!
Landon Phillips
The war itself was kind of depressing- a pointless move by the Argentinian government for domestic reasons, at a time during the Cold War when Britain could not afford to lose face.
John James
Who would win
few french missles
vs
entire royal navy
Royal navy is such a meme post ww1, they don't have any anti ship capabilities right now lol, harpoons belong in museums and they don't even have enough of them.

>mfw it turned out that Thatcher told the Frogs she'd order Buenos Aires nuked if they didn't give us the kill codes for the exocet system and they caved
honhehonhehon
Jaxon Phillips
that never happened and Exocets worked fine
it's just that they had too few of them
not even missiles
few good bomb fuzes and British invasion would fail
what's funny here is that Argentinian air force was kept in the dark until the invasion happened, because no one liked them or something
Alexander Robinson
and nowdayes their carriers have no planes
their ships are anti air, anti submarine without any anti ship capabilities except harpoons which are a useless due to lwo range, speed and quanity. Even if bongs got into range they wouldn't have enough harpoons to score any hits.
Isaac Murphy
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH I NEED A DIRTY WOMAN
Easton Brooks
Maybe they would have been against it, if they had known about it.
Nicholas Brown
they defended an island half way around the world at a moments notice from a huge and angry nation. They creamed the Argentinian airforce despite having the odds against their favour.
Michael Phillips
Are there any Falklands movies?
56%er here, theres none that come to mind.
Colton Reyes
>Malvinas movie
>They're called Falklands
Gavin Campbell
Britain does not need as much navy, post Cold War. It is the US State Department and the EU who want Cold War II- not Russia, and, I suspect, not a lot of Britain, either.
John Walker
Argentina was neither huge, or angry. They never even expected a fight. That is why they did not build an airstrip on the Islands... which would have given their aircraft enough range to keep the Royal Navy at bay.
Carson Thompson
>it’s not called Les Îles Malouines
hmm

I never saw those episodes of Top Gear. It is an entertaining show, so I expect they were pretty good.

I saw it on its last tour, and felt genuine emotion

There's an Argentine film called "Iluminados Por El Fuego", I remember liking it.

Top jej user, you seen those new top of the line battleships?
Joseph Ward
Nothing wrong with bomb fuzes argies used, everything wrong with training people that did fuzing. Same thing with their torpedoes. One of their subs got couple chances of torpedoing British destroyers, torpedoes failed because torpedo officer fucked up setting gyroscopes.
Grayson Harris
Ill check it out. I've always been interested in the war. Shame the movie is from the Argie point of view.
Thomas Turner
UK has been more aggressive towards Russia than rest of EU or US.
They expected UK give up without fight due to lack of political will.

It wasn't overly partisan from what I remember. It was basically about how shitty the conscripts had it.

More fool them.
Easton Powell

Matthew James
The good thing is... you don't have to pretend. If the US backed Argentina (and we considered it...) the Royal Navy would have never left Scapa Flow. Little Britain should not talk too big.... because you aren't, anymore.
Dominic Hill
It was basically a desperate attempt to hold on to power.
The military dictatorship was losing more and more support and people were turning against them. Capturing Falklands would have been a huge PR boost even though they probably knew they were taking a great risk.
Of course, in the end they fucked up and the War accelerated their own destruction.
Jack Perez

Jason Martin
*shits your pants*
Ayden Campbell
The US would never have backed Argentina. Britain was and is a much closer and more valuable ally.
Thomas Turner
The US Marines had Harriers like that. Pretty much like A-4 Skyhawks, with VTOL/STOL capability. Useful... but old, even in the 1980s.
Asher Powell
>Malvinas
Tyler Baker
US went through the trouble of putting a dictator in argentina and it backfired. The junta probably thought the US would want to protect its interests or at the very least stay out of the conflict altogether
Lincoln Gray
Not really... the Reagan Administration spent a lot of time trying to talk Argentina into withdrawing. If Margret Thatcher was not PM, we probably would have waved you off.
Brandon Walker
Why do people get so triggered by this naming shit?
It's "Falklands" in english and "Malvinas" in spanish, just like London is called "Londres" by spanish speakers.
Adam Martin
>Why do people get so triggered by this naming shit?
dunno
Jeremiah Morales
A dictator, in 20th Century Argentina? No trouble at all, my friend... no trouble at all. Just sit back and watch them do it themselves.
Jordan Turner
All I know is Tom Hardy will probably be cast.
Ryder Gonzalez
There's a world of difference between putting your guy on top of some corrupt Latin American banana republic, and pissing off a fellow English-speaking NATO member with one of the world's largest economies by forcing it to hand over sovereign territory with British subjects on it. Britain was far more valuable to the fight against the Soviet Union than Argentina.
Jordan Morgan
With Nolan directing the film? And Hans Zimmer as the composer?
Kevin Price
they have a island that is not theirs front and center on their currency
Alexander Rivera
Shocking lack of diversity!

LAS MALVINAS SON ARGENTINAS REEEEEEEE
Brandon Reed
so aesthetic
Justin Ross
>More fool them.
Thatcher was in full panic mode due to Argentine invasion and willing to give up. It was up to 1st Sea Lord Sir Henry Leach and Chief of the Defence Staff to convince her that Royal Navy could actually send an task force to Southern Atlantic.
Matthew Roberts

Good thing they did not guarantee it would come back... it almost didn't.

Will you stop with the fucking ellipsis?
Jeremiah Wilson

Jacob Myers
If Britain is so proud of the Falklands War... why haven't THEY made a movie yet? ; )
Hudson Price
Thank you
Noah Lee

Probably because of the implication of dominance. I'm sure there are some salty Arabs in the Sinai right now about their land being referred to as Israel by the rest of the world.
Dominic Howard
Seriously, stop with the ellipsis. It adds nothing to your post and makes you look like even more of a retard.
Aaron Fisher
You can still get btfo by someone that types like a massive faggot. It's happening right now!
Connor Sanchez
Sure, pal... whatever you say! x)
Lincoln Powell
But spanish speakers do that shit with a lot of places.
Britain is "Gran Bretaña", England is "Inglaterra", London is "Londres" and so on.
It's not some dominance shit it's just a weird translation convention and the people who think so and get butthurt about it are retarded and this applies to both britcucks and argies.
Nolan Jones
stop pushing kike D&C memes

When you have no planes on your carriers yes
Dominic Powell
>stop pushing kike D&C memes...
fixed
Daniel Hill
Which carriers are they?
Parker Diaz
I would respond in detail... but I am too busy studying "The Manly Art of Typing " by Miyamoto Musashi, introduction by Chuck Norris. ; )
Hunter Roberts
Royal navy
Grayson Hill
The new Queen Elizabeth class? Why would a carrier which won't be fully combat ready or operational for another 2 years and is currently undergoing various trials to work her up need aircraft right now? She's only just finished rotatory trials and will have fixed-wing F-35b trials in 6 months.
Jeremiah Wood
In most cases that is true and I don't think anyone really gives a fuck, but when it is contested territory people like to dick wave, and name bickering is one of the easiest ways to do it.
Carter Perry
yeah, thanks to videla we dont give a shit about the army since the 70s
Alexander Martinez

Owen Perez
we call them Falklands in chile when we want to piss off argies
Brayden Cooper
You would probably piss me off, not becuase of some nationalism shit but because I think people using the english name of a place when it's supposed to be a different name in spanish pisses me off.
Like the retards who say "USA" instead of "EEUU".
Adrian Sanchez
*because people using the english name
Evan Martinez
I knew a Marine who was there. He said it was like carrying a fat man across Wales. By the time he got to the Argies, it was all over. He was so pissed, he bought his way out. He should have stayed so that he could slaughter Arabs a few years later for the sake of the Jews and Yanks.
I've seen those things fly so low they kicked up dust.
Thatcher had to re-take the Falklands. She was already losing in the polls. If she rolled over, she was gone. Personally, I think the loss of the Falklands would have been worth it to get rid of her. What followed was Thatcherism and its bastard child Blairism, leading to the rich becoming much richer and the country flooded with Pakis.
You're lying. The Yanks never considered backing the Argies, but they weren't keen on helping the Brits either. They eventually helped. I knew someone who they flew out to Ascension Island to help fix some naval gear.
Aiden Ortiz
Forcing Britain not to take military action would have been backing the Argentinians (whom we do not refer to as Argies because we are not beer-swilling English proles). We very much considered forcing Britain not to take action.

I need a britbong to red pill me on the Falklands War. Why does it seem like it's the Vietnam of Britain? Why is it such a big deal in your media? What was that movie with the little skinhead that hated everyone because his dad died in a war? This is England?
Anyway, I'm looking for some history. Educate this Ameritard.
Jacob Collins
>Why does it seem like it's the Vietnam of Britain?
It's not.
>Why is it such a big deal in your media?
It's not.
Anthony Cooper
Just read this. I want a mini-series based on this in the same vain as Generation Kill with it following one outfit going from A to B in a short amount of time with plenty of shit to put up with.
Soundtrack should be the soundtrack from The Blues Brothers sung a capella by the cast.
Brandon Evans
Well I'm certainly not all in on British media, but it's used as a story point often enough to wonder why you fuckers care about a war you didn't even lose 300 people in.
