Gaffer is right (shock horror)

Britain would have -never- nuked Argentina over the Falklands, it's ridiculous to even suggest it.

The Argies were hoping that Britain and the international community wouldn't be too bothered about the Falklands.

We were hardly going to nuke them, its called brinkmanship, just a reminder that we could, forget all the logistics and fighting on the surface...we could silently park a few thousand miles off shore and take out a city without spilling our tea.
It demoralises the people and the troops, who were pretty well at the bottom anyway.
Oh and the sub was the first and only nuclear submarine to sink a ship to this day, though fucking dreadful loss of life...

The sub that took at the Belgrano was an attack sub; nothing to do with nuclear weapons. In 1982 the Cold War was still a thing and all of the Royal Navy's missile boats (SSBNs) were exactly where they needed to be; facing the Soviets. They weren't swanning off to the South Atlantic; especially as we only had four, and in 1982 we had even fewer because the Polaris boats were going through a refit programme (look up "Chevaline"). Besides, the Americans would never have allowed it.

You're talking utter shite Job. Again.

Yes, but that was the trick..if you were watching at the time, the Argies kept asking where our nuke subs where and we wouldn't say..it was brinkmanship and we held all the cards, also bombing their airfields with our nuclear bomber kinda sealed it.

It was a nuclear powered sub, not a polaris one.

"Sealed" what? We still had to land troops so what the fuck are you talking about?

 

[Job]

Because the people turned on the government back home..they were up against a nuclear power, troops were dying and the occupiers lost all hope.
This all started as to wether nuclear weapons are a deterrent to aggression, they thought we wouldnt be arsed and it was such a tiny outcrop it hardly qualifies as anything that needs Nukes to defend it.

It had nothing to do with the fact it was our nuclear plane, it was just that it was our long range bomber at the time.

They turned on the Junta after we won back the islands, what the fuck are you jabbering about?

I love the new "Skip Intro" button Netflix have introduced on some of their TV series.

I would like it to be a general setting really but nevermind.

Yes they were weren't they.

Yet they still attacked. Turns out our deterrent didn't deter them.

It is very convenient. I love intros don't get me wrong but after you've watched 15+ episodes of the same intro it gets pretty boring.

Didn't know you hosted serious documentaries @Job!

So here's a 1978 Documentary on global cooling, which was at the time the excepted theory, even though the entire scientific community now says it wasnt.
Even though..it was, I don't remember a single mention of warming, just endless cooling scares.

This scientist is now a highly respected global warmer.

I draw your eyes to the very start of that video. The first twelve seconds or so:

Amongst the headlines "magic", "monsters", "myths", "lost civilisations" and "witchcraft" it says:

"This series presents information based in part on theory and conjecture. The producers purpose is to present some possible explanations - though not necessarily the only ones - to the mysteries we examine"

They set it up as being a quack program in the first place and put a nice big disclaimer in there. It's like posting a link to proof of the existence of ghosts by showing film that Derek Akorah shot.

@Job. Stop being a gullible self-confirming twat!

He saw it in a documentary on The History Channel.. I'd say that is proof enough tbh
