well either deliberately or perhaps through a lack of comprehension you misread my post.

I did not suggest inaction (not that hard to read is it)

I suggested securing the place and its inhabitants and then GTFO.

And if you did a little research (doubtful on here I know) you would discover that the incumbent Foreign Secretary in the 1970's is on record as saying that (and I quote as best I can)

"If Britain ever ends up having to defend the Falkland Islands militarily, it will be a national disaster"

I stand by my remarks. Standing up against military aggression...yep well done (I have the medal, with clasp...have you??)

Pissing money up the wall for Islands the other side of the globe...monumentally stupid
