France and Spain are rivals of Britain.

France and Spain helped America secede from Britain in the 1700s.

France has Rafale. Spain has Eurofighter Typhoon. Argentina is Spanish speaking country, Latin family, 40 million people, 95% white European descent. Why don't they transfer advanced military technology to Argentina to make fighter jets and take back Falklands? In the Falklands were Argentina only had 5 anti ship missiles and almost won the war. 10 anti ship missiles is enough to decimate the British fleet and take back Falklands.

Why should France and Spain waste money on Argentina?

Its like countries will do another countries defence industry for free. Maybe Spain could help since Spain and Argentina are related hence why it makes logical sense to work together.

Why stop at the Falklands? Why not they just invade the UK and solve the problem once and for all? :D

Spanish Empire

Well, Argentina was never part of Spanish empire, at most they are Spanish Colony, same as United States used to be Spanish Colony

Problem is, just because Argentina used to be Spanish Colony, that does not mean Spain need to help, or any other previous colony have the responsibility to help, nor were they connected somehow. In fact, most Argentinian hated Iberian, and the feeling is reciprocated.

They will never do that! The falklands are under NATO by defacto and it is a very very strategic location. Argentina will have to build up its military to a substantial force which they haven't done and don't think they are going to anytime soon.

Same ethnic group. Same blood. Same culture.

Again, if you don't know something, maybe it's time to keep your mouth shut.

First of all, Argentina have its current demographic from European migration trail after Spanish Conquest, Argentinian is more North/Eastern European, mainly from Italy, Poland, Germany, Ukraine and Russian. Where as Spanish population is North African and Iberian people.

Second of all, most Argentina does not have Iberian Blood running thru Spanish people, Spanish actually prohibit cross marriage with Argentinian with Inca background, which reside in northern Argentina. Which mean blood in Argentina people are either North/Eastern European and/or Inca, while Spanish blood are solely of Iberia. Which also contributed to the low rate of mixed race people in Argentina.

And Culture...…..Well, this is the first time I hear people say Spanish Culture are the same with Argentina or any Hispanic Culture. Oh well...… THe only thing I can think of the same is passion of football and both Catholic . Let me tell you this, the Spanish spoken itself is different between people in Spain and people In Argentina, how or why do you think they share the same Culture?

Have you actually been to Spain and Argentina? Or even Hablar Espanol solo entiente?

They speak Spanish and they both lookalike... :enjoy:

Spain has Gibraltar stolen by British

Argentina has Falkland stolen by British.

They both speak Spanish, and that's your point?

And no, they don't look alike, Argentinian looks more like Britain than Spaniard. Again, have you ever been to Argentina? Or even speak the language? I speak Mexican or Standard South American Spanish and I sometime don't understand what these Argentinian say, Let alone a Mainland Spanish speaker.

Not sure, many Spaniard travel around south america countries with no language barrier except Brazil.. From my Spaniard colleague comment.

Lol.

UK has some of the best nuclear submarines and air defence frigates.
The aircraft carriers that can take 40 F-35s each are coming into service now.

Argentina has lost it's one and only chance to take the Falklands in 1982.

South American Spanish (Espanol Hispanico) are different than Mainland Spainish, from the pronoun to word choice. In South America, Spanish words "Tu/Vos" were not used at all, and instead it use Usted(es), so that would present a major problem if you are a first time traveller. because in Spain when you say "you" in Spanish, you need to say "he/she " in South America.

Then different country have different word for it. Just use "Oh My God" as an example.

In Spain it's "Dios Mios"
In Mexico it's "Santo Cielos" or "Dios Santo"
In Argentina it's "Ay Bendido"

In fact, the difficulty between Standard Spanish and South American Spanish is even worse than British English and Australian or American English, because in the English case, the pronoun is unchanged, but in Spanish case, it's changes drastically, with 2 classes being taken out, I would imagine people in the UK would have some sort of Language Barrier when they are in America or Australia, you would most definite expect some sort of language barrier between standard and Hispanic Spanish.

I don't know your friend, or whether or not he exist, but if your friend said he have no language barrier at all, either he was educated or used to Hispanic Spanish, or he is lying to you, or you are lying to me, again, I speak both Standard Spanish and Standard South American Spanish.
