The battle between the UK and Argentina over claims to the Falkland Islands systematically merged weapons technology of air, sea and ground. An Argentinean invasion yielded a bombardment of speed, weaponry and destruction.
I was almost 18 when Argentina invaded and I was shocked and a little ashamed when I saw the pictures in the paper of our Marines being rounded up by the forces of a foreign power and I was so proud when our brave forces re-took the Islands, I still am proud of what they did, balls of British steel every one of them, not many countries could of done it, the yanks reckoned we would need to outnumber their troops on the islands 3-1 but we were the ones outnumbered 3-1, brave brave lads.
I agree! What makes it more impressive is that we were outnumbered about 7 or 8/1 with over 10,000 Argentine marines on the islands, compared to about 1,800 Members of the British infantry, this includes 22 SAS, SBS, Royal Marines, 2PARA and many more.
"Mission Impossible" and it's a shame Homer was not still alive to write an epic poem about this war, in which Brits and Argies fought for Nation and Honour.
Impressed of how fast the UK could organize that task force.
@James Henderson thats right...he was here in the Islands to propose a leaseback deal..
You mean how fast the UK is eager to kill when she is at 10 against 1.
to fast.... therefore so many killed
@David Parry Always? of course, you must be British. How come then they begged the USA to save them? The "PLANS" were to get the USA to join. Their plans are always against the weakest. Otherwise they are asses.
Val D'Anfa God you are an anti Brit cockwomble! You must be Argentine...they do have a capacity to produce so many....

@@ViperGBTwitchdaftrajy certainly, East Falkland is. However, the UK is searching for new markets and new contacts since EU is out of the table.
Argentina has a lot of history
In fact Buenos Aires and London have a strong resemblance.
I am American but have ties with both Argentina and UK. I love the two and recognise that the conflict is nothing more than a plot from satan to divide.
Britain had litigations and fought 4 other countries
Spain, France, Holland and Ireland. How did the UK achieve peace after the nasty conflicts with them?
Dividing land.
The hand of the Creator split the Falklands, leaving St Charles strait between them
It could not be more reasonable;
East Falkland continues exactly the way it is,
And West Falkland to be administered by Argentina
Lol what the hell we're they thinking Argentina can't win a damn war against the UK they're a superpower also backed by the USA even now if the UK needed any help we would be right there with air land and sea force's in no time flat.
You forgot to put commas in your sentence.
That’s funny cause it’s only the US that’s asked for and received help. The US didn’t want to get in this one and wanted to be neutral and were shitting themselves the UK might invoke commitments and wreck relations with South American Nations.
@@JosephKano that's not even close to what i meant by my first comment but ok your opinion is noted and i understand your stance on the subject.👍🇺🇸
@@101242cg it's a CZcams comment let's not get too caught up in the small insignificant details.👍
Truth to tell, chile decided the outcome not the US.
chilean dictator offered PM thatcher all the resources and land and logistics spying Argentina and reporting daily to British forces.
the witch liked the idea bc being next door to Argentina disguised as chilean was quite inviting.
From the lips of the iron snake herself (so denounced by Sting and Peter Gabriel among others):
"We have a debt of honour... without chile, we wouldn't have been able to regain control of the islands"
That says it all.
No further comment is needed.
The real way to settle this would be plan SRP2018

I have often wondered what the war in the Falklands was all about. It is a good thing, in this day and age, to have access to such resources on a given subject. Cheers for posting this highly informative program.
The Argentina Junta was impopular, they looked for some distraction and occupied "las Malvinas" trying to unite Argentinians and take focus away from protest vs the junta...
This presentation is one side of the "official" story... which is often far from any Objective reality. If you're interested in more of the official story - especially with consideration of the Argentinian side of things, search around under Argentina's name for the islands, "Malvinas". Here's some stuff to get you started if you are interested:

I find that the stories portrayed in TV documentaries like these, while valuable for the video footage they provide, often present a version of events that conforms to the narrative given by the State (in this case, mainly the UK). And in every case, the State will always put itself in the role of the Hero/Protagonist who prevails as the Winner (in some sense - some victory will be proclaimed)... even if the participants in war are all really losers.
Personally i think there's something else going on (more than 38 scrap metal workers, or even territorial squabbles) when these implements of mass destruction and death are called to action, but the public will never be given the straight truth - probably because it would shatter the illusion of the world with which we are presented.

This was the first war I remember following as a child. It was fascinating and terrible from my dad's tv and the radio at boy scout camp.
I grew up in the late 60's /early 70's..... Cold war was going on, Northern Ireland was the only day to day real military activity,so to actually see our forces preparing to fight a real shooting war was very strange.... Surreal even..... It was like a relentless drift back to another time... Still couldn't believe it was actually going to go ahead until waking to the news that the first Vulcan strike had taken place. Then things became somewhat more exciting and although we knew we were going to kick these invaders' arses, despite the inevitable setbacks, it was a relief it was over so very quickly
Can you imagine what would have happened if we had May as PM in '82...........

@@musicbruv not even plastic... Polystyrene at best!
Things might have been very different had the proposed government cutbacks had already been put in place and key Royal Navy ships had been scraped. The Cash strapped British Government had also been considering a deal that would see the Falkland's handed over to Argentina after a Hong Kong style lease agreement. Before the war a large section of the UK voting public had never even heard of he Falkland's and they were considered a drain on the public purse.

Indeed. They were sadly led to an unnecessary conflict.
Neither country really deserves the whole region
In truth
Argentina occupied and settled in East Falkland from 1823 to 1831. Luis Vernet was the chief minister. His daughter Matilda Malvina Vernet (1830-1924)born in East Falkland was registered as an Argentine subject.
Vernet issued sanctions to foreign ships fishing without a permit and in 1831 a problem escalated and the Americans came with a war ship USS Lexington they fought and destroyed the settlement forcing ppl out of the Islands
Argentina protested and the case went to court in Massachusetts the judge concluded that the Americans were guilty but no remedy. Meanwhile, early 1833, the British settlers arrived

Britain and France were the first to discover it. The France sold their half to spain, and Britain left a flag and a plaque claiming the land.
The American revolution happened and they went to fight that, when they came back a bunch of random people were on the island so Britain rightfully told them to leave.
@@trxl3515 its colonialism at its finest which you support. It doesnt matter who discovered it its an unnecessary region to britian but didnt want to seem weak and had to put the brave men into action for a useless war. Nex tthing youll say white people own America or other nations because they discovered it.(which they didnt many other groups discovered the falklands but didnt colonize it.) This whole idea you discovered you own is wrong and for a country and culture that says youre more developed than Afghanistan or others you have that colonial mindset. Hlad britian empire was destroyed and now britain is losing in most of the wars it participates. Colored people dont take crap anymoee

@@ishrendon6435 boo fucking hoo, get over yourself
The principles of International Law struck back here - when even the United States was fully prepared to abandon those principles completely. It fell upon us to remind the world of those principles, in war.
This spectacular effort in the Falklands put steel in the Western World's collective pencils like nothing else ever could. It also raised (documented) questions and doubts in the Soviet Union, who were alarmed by the massive impact of what they had believed were, essentially, second rate British (and therefore NATO) forces.
Reagan - or people around him - after his (and therefore America's) weakness over the Falklands suddenly realised what it meant to be part of - and to lead - the Free World. Policy radically changed soon after, the investment was made in overwhelming firepower, both nuclear and conventional, and the Cold War ended less than seven years later.
This campaign was historically pivotal. It had nothing to do with "British Empire" whatsoever (that never entered the minds of the British people) and everything to do with defending liberty, sovereignty and the rule of law. And enforcing those principles in the face of aggression if necessary. It's worth effort, the risk and the loss of loved ones.
Critics can criticise because we won. But they can't see that because they are motivated by political philosophies inimical to the freedom most of us believe in, and would die for should the hour come once again.
Well said.
Wrong. Reagan gave the Harriers AIM-9L all-aspect Sidewinder missiles. You’re flat out wrong
What a crock of dramatic, flamboyant, revisionist horse crap. I’m American and we have never seen the Falklands War as anything other than a minor quibble between a developed ally and a belligerent dictatorship that bit off more than they could chew. Reagan even sent military aid to the UK but I suspect he did so while rolling his eyes. In no way did this bellicose version of a nanny spanking a misbehaving child influence Cold War policy. Get a hold of yourself, you jingoistic moron.

Good grief what is with all the hate on here? I am an American citizen and took the time to praise Britain for standing up for itself and this ignites a fire storm of faux patriotism from the Latins? No country is perfect, every country has it's good and bad but to run down Great Britian for defending the Falklands is very immature.

There was no chance in hell that a bunch of half trained conscripts were going to defeat in battle the SAS/SBS , the Welsh Guards , or Gurkas especially when they were supported by the Royal Navy and RAF.
It seems like Argentina did better than most people expected, but they still never stood a chance against Great Britain.
Argentina only possessed effectively control over the islands for one year following their independence from Spain. And in reality the Spanish had actually taken the islands from the British who were the first to initially colonize them (The French did posses a minor settlement first, but left and the islands have no native population). Still the UK had claimed sovereignty since the late 18th century, prior to Spanish control. Since then islands have been British.
Argentina's claim is more flawed then the fact that they never held lone sovereignty over the islands. Most importantly as recognized through international law, self determination is what effectively decides control. The islanders voted in 2013 as to their opinions on the matter and with a turnout of 92% they voted 99.8% in being in favor of being British citizens. Based on this fact alone it's ridiculous that Argentina has any claim over the islands when the population that has lived their for more then 150 years supports British rule. The final issue is timeline. Even if Argentina had a legitimate claim (they don't), it's been almost 200 years since then. Does that mean that Argentina still belongs to Spain then? Because if they are entirely ignoring self-determination, its almost the same time period of control.
In essence this entire war was a propaganda attempt by a proto-facist dictator with no legit claims of the island who wanted to use the invasion to bolster public support in the face of a oppressive regime.
enjoy the islamic invasion of england, rip white england ;)
Please read history before write
1810 Argentina Independence from spain. (UK was one of first nations to recognize, NO MENTION ABAUT THE ISLANDS).
1833. The islands was usurped by uk..(So there where from Argentina 23 years)
Read 2065 UN Resolution to. Please. There, United nations force Great Britain to negotiate with Argentina.
@@ramiromeza9537 UN Resolution 502. And this resolution did not force the UK to anything. It called for both sides to remove any military forces on the islands and seek a diplomatic solution. But that was all it did. Besides showing Argentina that the world condemned its use military force.
PS Argentina existed only from 1861 onwards.
Just as all Americas belong to Norway, since we"discovered" it in year 1.000....However, the people of Falkland wish to belong to UK, does that not matter? Should they forcefully be transfered to Argentina, against their wish? And if Argentina tries to invade again, it might be a war on a larger scale than in '82. Sometimes, it is better to leave a sleeping dog sleep....
Britain 1690: First humans on islands/first to claim sovereignty. Have lived there for hundreds of years.
Argentina 1832: Fourth country to try and claim them after Britain, France and Spain. Have spent a total of 6 illegal months there in all its history. No Argentines ever born there.

Brilliant, sure
I suppose you are aware that the UK has had four major conflicts leading to wars with
Spain, Ireland, France and Holland
Britain realised that other countries also had a little bit of healthy reasoning in claiming territory, and so in each case, the two parties divided the disputed zone.
Nothing should warrant a different method to reach a peaceful resolution here.
East Falkland for Britain
West Falkland for Argentina
sounds logical and should have been the result generations ago, but history repeats itself due to the lack of proper skills on the part of the officials making decisions
The people of the Falklands are English-speaking British, and the islands are British forever. 🇬🇧
Our friends in France sold and gave the ability to use the Exocet missiles.
They did that pre war, not during. The story of the technical group is still controversial. Apparently they were ordered to sign NDA type things (I dont know the french for it) after rumours of torture and intimidation by Argentine officers to get co operation started. They also helped us by flying mirage in attack training for the Harriers.
Britain considered war with the Russia when they invaded Finland (1939)
I watched much of these battles on TV during those times. I was on the IKE during NATO coordinated exercises in North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea fleet ops. We worked closely with our British allies and felt we had a close relationship. Which was surprising that the USA was not more overtly supportive of UK's reclamation of the Falklands. As far as the theater of operations I had been stationed mostly at McMurdo, with some time at Siple and very Briefly SP stations. Comms with the UK, Durmont and other allies for science sharing. One would have expected in my opinion that we would allow refueling and intel sharing with our fleets. I guess the powers thought it was risky? The Excorcet missiles, Mirage and some UK planes, hearing Herculies on the Argentina troop drops on Georgia and Falklands makes one wonder if it was a risk of weapons sales that kept the USA from active assistance? USN RM1 End 1975- End 1981.
The USA didn't help openly because Argentina was an important ally in the fighting against communism and in the Western Hemisphere. So, americans help the United Kindgom not so opnely but did it anyway, especially with the Sidewinder AIML9 .

@exram1930 Thankyou at last someone who's talking sense. The USA and the UK always stand shoulder to shoulder fighting for freedom and liberty around the globe. I for one am proud of how the USA turned out after our falling out back in the 1775-1782 war. Family always make up eventually and blood is thicker than water as they say. I for one think of the US as family. The pilgrim fathers came from England, english values are taught there & the english language is spoken.
Please study history more! At the time Germany was threatening to invade (1940) the USA was not yet in the war. It was the British (and volunteers from other countries) who stopped the invasion by winning the Battle of Britain in the air.
James Anagnos explain exactly how germany could have invaded the uk. because its was literally impossible for them, with their weak navy and weakened air force and that they had no landing crafts. the british wouldn't even need air superiority the royal navy could do all the work sinking any ships, while accepting loses while Germany couldn't afford to lose any ships. even if they managed to land troops and tanks they would struggle to resupply them and their troops would be completely unsupported and they wouldn't even been able to hold or capture a huge part of england maybe a few towns and villages. the uk BOUGHT supplies from the us which helped stop the country from starving but that was mainly it the british made their own guns instead of buying the expensive us fire arms. before the us even joined the war britain had already started bombing german. when the us joined the war britain has already humiliated italy without support then when germany began helping italy push britain back, britain with some us tanks managed to have Rommel on the run in retreat before the us landed troops. they us never saved the uk they helped them.
It happened because of BLACK GOO, please listen to Harold Kautz Vella! Ironically it was called "operation Black Buck" ...

That is a matter of opinion. No meaningful contribution by US troops occurred until very late in 1942 by which time the British had won the Battle of Britain, pretty much subdued the Kriegsmarine in the Atlantic and defeated the Africa Corps at the 1st and 2nd battles of El Alamein. Concurrently, the Germans had suffered a catastrophic defeat by the Russians at Stalingrad. That isn't to demean the US contribution to the war effort, it was of course vital for shortening the war CONSIDERABLY.
the US save your bitch lame asses from Germany in 100 ways , your little air victory was nothing and did nothing to stop Germany from bombinb the shit out of you every day, not only did the US come to rescue Europe but sent suplyes to both you and russia, with out that you all were Germanys bitches , only a mater of time,you mother fuckers would all be speaking German now

Embarrassing for the UK if you ask me .. Argentina, a third rate country kinda handed the UK its ass a few times.
@@dhbroussard89 In what way? When they first invaded, they struggled to take the falklands from 22 royal marine commandos lmfao. 600 vs 22 and they struggled 😂😂. Britain easily won the war in the sea and then as a soon as they landed, they pushed and never stopped. The british were always outnumbered and outgunned aswell but still always managed to win any gunfight with minimal casualties and a lot of prisoners. I think you need to go check your history lmfao
@@dhbroussard89 You need to renew the straw that is in your cranium. (You can google "Cranium" as you probably don't know what one is )
@@dhbroussard89 , the British (with limited resources), were fighting 8000 miles from the UK, but still won!. The US (with unlimited resources), travelled 8000 miles to Vietnam (a third world nation), but lost!. Even more embarrassing for the US, if you ask me!
No,the natives did.Leif Erikson came to Newfoundland about year 1000.There have been found remains of settlements at L'anse-aux-meadows,dating back to that time,but the Vikings left.Columbus got hands on old viking maps,and that is how he knew there was land out there,though he thought it was China.My point was,that geographicaly,no nation can claim superiority due to proximity.As far as I know,the Falklanders wish to remain British,and I am quite sure that another invasion,will be resisted.
god bless the royal navy & all british forces
May God grant her Majesty's next PM good leadership
Boris Johnson, perhaps
Marlon Martinez
Sad because Argentina lost😩
@@jpcodnia9133 well this didn't happen
And that is the problem.The biggest problem is that far too many countries are looking back,and are dreaming to re-establish their old "empires", instead of looking foreward, and go for other solutions.Ultra-nationalism has always been a cause of war.If you have intalernal unrest,find a foreign enemy.That worked for both UK and Argentina,and many other countries throughout history.
Truth
Exactly
The old Spirit that build the empire! I hope Albion will rise again!
Britain: yeah we got alot on our hands right now Argentina: oh really? (Falklands invasion) Britain: ya fuckin wot mate?
War is shit thanks lad🏴🇬🇧🏴🏴
You know you could just have put the British flag, it combines the flags of the British isles. Mate🇬🇧💂
Argentina fought for the islands
the UK fought for the people
🤣
Foolish Argentina. What you didn't think they'd react? Also a NATO country so the rest of us would get on board as well if needed.
NATO didn't want any part of it.
Fez from that 70s show is from the Falkland island
Good job Britain!
Like that was hard
Well Drone attacks can be considered terrorism as that's their purpose to terrorize, and they did ignore two countries sovereignty. It is a highly heated debate in the academic world if acts of violence under a national banner constitute terrorism, War is terror, why then can western countries not be considered terrorist nations? plus, colonialism was pretty brutal internationally...
So many salty Argentinians in this comment section. DONT CRY, Argentina :)
I was there that very morning...37 years ago today
remember seeing the carriers go out and was out on a tug when Invincible, i think it was, came back in..
@@pashvonderc381 :) the UK Forces did the most impossible mission. They proved the world wrong! We are still very grateful to all the lads and lasses (nurses on the Hospital Ships)
Aye！Falkland Belong British！
#MakeFalklandsBritishAgain we should build a wall around south america to keep them away, make the lost city of Atlantis pay for it
Maybe I can agree to that but today nations need to decide for themselves and the British also better respect that right don't get me wrong the British totally abused the new American settlers during the 1770s we all realize that now don't we?🇺🇸
@@Glorious_Kim_Jong_Un Atlantis? Please explain
@@elbandido9887 The British do respect that right. The Falkland Islanders voted to remain British. That is exactly why the Argentinian invasion was not acceptable.
Sergio Zayasbazan The Falklands regard themselves British
Many of the Argentinian soldiers did not even know they were being sent out on an invasion until they actually arrived at the Falklands. They were told that it was simply an exercise on an island in the south. The invasion was a surprise to the invaders.
I love the way Argentines scream about colonialism.
Argentina is a country founded as a result of colonialism
from Spain.
And now they want to "colonize" the Falklands against the
inhabitants wishes.
The fact that the people have been there before Argentina
was even invented as a nation is conveniently over looked.
The population want to be British.
As long as the people there want THEIR freedom & reject Argentine
rule then their wishes will be respected.
And defended by the British Military.
It was imperative that UK retake Falkland Islands for otherwise the precedent set by this aggression would set off other similar bellicose actions worldwide.
what is this obsession Latin Americans have with calling Britain "pirates"?
Like it's the worst insult of all time
It's a symptom of mental retardation.
It originates from British privateers attacking and seizing Spanish galleons transporting stolen Aztec and Inca gold back to Spain. So they can't really claim the moral high ground.
Keeps them happy! They have to have a go at someone now their economy is in the gutter. It's a shame as Argentina has so much to offer but its been rulled by corrupt poiticians for so long and as long as theres corruption on that scale, the country will stay poor. I hope they sort themselves out and become prosperous.
Ah - Spain! wasn't that the country that raped and pilaged the local tribes who have a legitimate claim to the land they occupy and for which a great proportion of the population are decended from?
@@petertwiss4215 congrats, you just described the British Empire. At least the Spaniards made efforts to mix with the population, Brittish were more for extermination (not saying the Spaniards didnt had their genocides, but the British empire was kinda more genocidal and racial elitist.
@MrXray2011 no queremos pelear, queremos NEGOCIAR: que es algo que ustedes no quieren hacer, porque saben que no tienen razón. Son un imperio en decadencia. No le hacen caso a la ONU como tampoco le hicieron con Irak, cometiendo uno de lo más grandes actos de corrupción de la Historia, hicieron una guerra con una mentira (porque Irak no tenía armas nucleares ¿o no tienen memoria?)Y aclaro algo, quien hizo la guerra en Malvinas fue un gobierno dictatorial que no representaba a su pueblo.

Interesting to think how different this war would be today. Drones would play such a heavy part
Neither is the Falklands. It's water has oil deposits, it has strategic importance for Antarctic research missions and it's position in the south Atlantic is invaluable for the UK.
And I am not saying that, I am saying that if "the Brits love their tiny worthless islands" enough to send 1 task force, the US loves their "tiny worthless islands" enough to go into total war, subsequently nuking civilians.
Dont snipe at the UK and its decisions without considering your countries in the past.
Whataboutism
@daruffle I do not get your point. There is nothing anti-british in trying to recover an island, as there was nothing specially anti-argentinian when brits invaded in 1833. And...300 years ago Guam was spanish, not japanese....
I am arg. but have no interest on Falkland islands, I think that my own gov. has lost the way. Now, CFK deals with Iran...God have mercy for this country. I wish U.K. good luck. Soy arg pero no me interesan las Malvinas, pienso que mi propio gobierno ha errado el camino. Ahora, CFK negocia con Iran...que Dios se apiade de este país. Le deseo al Reino Unido buena suerte.
thankyou for your generous peaceful comment

Imagine being this dense.

feel for spaeking spanish today. what are your empire gonna do about it?
Malvinas argentinas!
try and take it,,
It's a very rediculous claim by Argentina on these Islands because the overwhelming majority of people there are Brits. For me as a non British person not even from an English speaking country can only laugh about Argentinians in the comments claiming these Islands. Or do I forget some reasons for the Argentinians to do that . Please answer
@StonkingDave No their french name is Îles Malouines
@lucask1998ful yes las falklands or malvinas argentinas.
this is why spain cant afford to mess with the uk over gibralter.. spain is much closer
Jinja-Ninja you’re right
I was born near Falkland in Fife. Strange how mostly spanish and italians colonialists in Argentina think the British are the colonialists.
Pirates, pirates everywhere
Longboardazo They're every where. Argentina took their land from the Native people.
+Longboardazo
All argies still live on land invaded and stolen by force from the indigenous natives by Spanish and argie colonialist pirates.
+Indigo972 so we are the pirates??? did u know that we had colonized the islands before but then u came and invaded so u are the pirate

Really ?
Tell me when ? Before who !
The english are there before 1833 at least
Dígame cuando Argentina colonizo las islas ?
Quien fue el primer establecimiento ?
Le doy un indice
Louis vernet !
Era un Francés establecido en las provincias unidas de Buenos aires !
El hizo un primer intento que fracaso con Arreguati y volvió y fracaso porque sus proprios hombres se amotinaron (el gaucho ribero) y mataron a mestivier !
Ribero fue condenado en Buenos Aires como criminal !
Eso esta en todos los archivos de la AGN
Por esta razón cuando en 1982 la junta quiso bautizar port Stanley en Puerto Ribero, los historiadores y hasta un almirante Argentino recordó a la junta que este Ribero era un mero criminal, y llamaron la ciudad Puerto Argentino !
A propósito los primeros que colonizaron las islas fueron los franceses (Port Louis que lo españoles llamaron Puerto Soledad ) y le dieron el nombre de Malouines que se trasformo en maluinas y pues en Malvinas , la U se cambio en V !
Si quieres podemos intercambiar con mucho gusto.

@MrTitanRed It already has an empire. The Spanish and Italian colonists came from Europe and took it from the native Americans.
Argy's claimed to be Christian, shame they couldn't behave like such to the Islanders.
(respectfully) The Argentinean Army treated the Falklands Islanders a *whole* lot better than they treated any Argentinian suspected of being a communist. All things considered a *superlative* performance by HM forces. Respect from America.
Oh they treated them like Christians alright. 16th century Christians.
Did we kill any civilians?
@@agus_pax8796 1 Falkland islander was tragically killed in a Royal Navy Bombardment...I think it genuinely weighed extremely heavy on everyone on CORPORATE.
Britain set up colonies there and claimed it since the 1760s even before the nation of Argentina is even established. The people of Falklands wanted to be British, and you Argentinians are not to deny that right to the inhabitants of Falklands, majority of which are ethnic Brits.
Regarding the British Empire, they only acquired one quarter of the world`s land area. Through its influence it had created the foundations of the modern world as we know it.
What's funny is that if you guys tried to invade it again, you'd get stomped harder than the first time ;)
not if putin is there
yeah, putin is gonna do it for the chorizo LOL
@@redted366 putin isn't that stupid he knows that shooting British soldiers could start ww3
