Did anyone take any notice of the utter drivel that the ARG FORMIN said to the UN General Assembly?

He show the 'network' of military bases that the UK uses to control the SA, well known PJOBs suchj as St Helena and Tristan da Chuna.

He claimed that the UK had a nuclear weapons accident 'when passing material between ships' in 2003. He stated that intelligence sources advised that HMS Vanguard was in the area and that the UK had been asked (but refused to respond) whether it was carrying nukes.

The FORMIN claimed that the UK likened the situation in the SA to the Gulf and in so doing, justified the deployment of a T45.

He showed an image of an array that 'an intelligence agency' advised was connected to Radars in France, Canada, Australia and, err, Japan!

He showed a map of the FI showing the global communications network that the UK installed (must be large balls of string...)


He claimed that Typhoon pilots train in the FI before being deployed to Iraq and AFG. Tiffy also carries Taurus. The Typhoon had been operated by Britain over Iraq, AFG and Libya, giving us a 5th generation capability (that bit was true). He showed rather inflated unrefuelled range rings of the Typhoon showing that it could hit Brazil, inter alia.

Either the FORMIN enjoys telling porkies to the GA or he's been fed disinformation. Either way, tje presentation was a crock of sh!t. Argentina will, of course, get support from the UNGA in te form of a non-binding resolution, but if it's discussed by the Security Council, the UK can veto it! After all, the UK (Anthony Eden) was co-architect of the structure.
