    A lot of people want to see an American carrier get sunk, but personally I want to see a British carrier get sunk first. These losers are still clinging onto the last vestiges of glory and prestige and still act like they rule the world. The English Angloid must be punished for being the genesis of Global Angloism and spreading themselves through several continents. They must be humbled once and for all

    Seems like “British ship” here is making people think military when it is actually a civilian ship that was transporting something.

    Things like this gives the theory of the Falkland War being an inside job more and more plausibility .

        It’s not a thing going around the internet, it just occurred to me it was such a shitshow and so serving to foreign interests it’s almost indistinguishable from self-sabotage

        • The Junta were ideological besties with fucking Tatcher. Both governments approval ratings were in the gutter, but Tatcher was more likely to lose power first.

        • Before the war Argentina had a reasonable argument to legally annex that cold wasteland, without disturbing at all the 4k britbongs merrily suffering there. They blew it.

        • You have no idea how much Argies, especially the high-bougie dipshits who had always controlled the military here love Britbongia. Their biggest dream is to be an official UK colony. I’m not fuckign kidding.

        • Go to war for the first time in 100 years, YOU are the attacker, britbongs don’t suspect shit, yet zero fucking planning.

        • ABSOLUTELY ZERO FUCKING PLANNING

        • Trust the yanks won’t betray you against the britbongs.

        • Send beardless 18 yo conscripts with zero training who had never seen snow nor the sea in their life to a very humid-freezing place with inadequate clothes and food rations at the FUCKING END OF AUTUMN. Meanwhile most of the “seasoned” professional infantry stayed at home. (Sure, the “seasoning” was killing union leaders, teachers and other civilians, but at least they knew how to grab a fucking rifle)

        • Let me stress this: imagine sending 18 yo kids from East Klansville Louisiana to Alaska in November with not enough clothes, food nor ammo. (Sure there aren’t wolves nor bears in Malvinas but you get it)

        • The infantry didn’t had enough ammo.

        • Tatcher gets an easy victory. Junta “falls” (calls for elections) but who cares since 1) the job was done: Privatized most gov capital, nationalized a shitton of private debt, took huge IMF loans and immediately funneled that money out of the country, and killed an entire generation of lefties. 2) Tatcher remaining in power was VERY important for the neoliberal plan.

        • The Junta’s “job” was done before the war, they were happy with it, and they knew they were on their way out without any worries for their future. And they were right since by the most part they payed no consequences for their crimes nor even public humilliation for their shitshow of war.


        Of course, instead of a big conspiracy this can be explained by just immense stupidity, which is more likely.

  • Good, now do an American one and let’s tank those Navy recruitment numbers! Get some pics of rank and file sailor kids bobbing around in the gulf in life jackets. Just a piddly little hole in the side of a carrier so it sinks nice and slow and it can draw out a media spectacle. Could be the straw that breaks the beast’s back - a rag tag troop of kids taking out a behemoth symbol of American empire would be the funniest way to kick off the collapse.

    Sigh… A girl can dream.
