[RSS News]

Argentina has imposed stricter controls on shipping to the Falkland Islands in a growing dispute with the UK over oil. How will it affect ties between the two?

I'm guessing it will affect it in a 'not too good' kind of way.

To quote a Argentine I know: "lolno". Their navy and airforce have basically rotted away. Nothing is gonna happen.

There are some people in other parts of the internet, jumping eagerly for the aspect of a war. It's amusing when things like this happen, people have to find a way to blow it out of proportion to make it seem it'll cause a war.

The political climate in Argentina is different from what it was in the first falkland war when it was under a military junta. So Argentina doesn't want to start one, and I doubt the UK would even want one despite the propaganda value it has, because people are more skeptical today than they were then.

Especially considering this recent investigation into why the UK went to war with Iraq.
