BBC News - Mercosur complains about Falklands missile tests
Interesting.... on the day we announce we're scrapping our carrier capability....
The Argentine Foreign Minister said...
"The UK's refusal to negotiate a peaceful solution to this problem and the self-confidence with which it seizes our natural resources in the seas off Patagonia and at the same time tests missiles from our islands , are seen as acts of aggression not only in Argentina," Mr Timerman said.
"Each day, there are more and more fellow South American nations that understands that a permanent member of the UN Security Council is behaving like something from the colonial past."
Aren't Brazil looking to build / buy an aircracft carrier? Maybe we can sell them ours? Not like they'd ever use them to help Argentina or anything...
Would love to know what these "missile tests" are too - firing off the old Rapiers from Berthas Beach??
