No I understand you Gus, the point I'm making is if the Arg twitched the RN would Belgrano anything sailing by way of Subs, if they flew in there are Typhoon's stationed there and a garrison of eager duck shooter's, and a rather tasty 45 to engage either, it's shored up this time so no need to reclaim it, trust me they wouldn't get within 200 miles of it undetected, and they know another aggresive act will be met with some ICBM's on their mainland, we aren't quite the lamers ppl think we are, ok man power is reduced but tech has made the arsenal 100 times more lethal than it was back then, Thatcher got all the planning wrong anyway, that's why we lost so many ships and ended up having to march across the Falklands, typical women thinking, had there been someone with a proper tactical brain at the time you might've been talking minimal troop casualties on both sides, but she being her had to wade in with two big boots instead of a covert guess what I'm doing next approach.

My brother has been in the mob since 79 and he was back there last year, so I know how well defended the place is.

The point is that's all down to the 82 invasion. Without it, defence would consist of a few locals with shotguns.
The govt really got caught with their pants down last time and it was a much closer run thing than most people realise.
There are other places around the world where similar could happen and I seriously wonder if they have adequate forces left to deter aggressors. Let's hope we don't have to find out the hard way.

BTW, I don't see any likelihood of nuclear warheads being deployed in a first strike against Argentina, or any other non nuclear power. They might threaten but they'd never do it. It would make the UK a bigger pariah than N Korea.

I know all about that, and it's any wonder why anyone other than those that like to kill legally would join up today,

I'm pro defence contracts anyway Gus, I know of the need to be able to hit harder than the other guy, there is no Utopia of peaceful people nor will there ever be unless they can find a pill that blocks greed and envy.

You'll get no argument on that score.

Gusmac, Doom you do realise the world is going through a period of managed decline. The monetary system is on its arse, and oil as a finite resource is running out. Governments all over the world are cutting back on conventional weapons systems and troops because their biggest threat is now domestic, from their own people. We live on an Island, and replacing Trident with something even more apocalyptic means we need never fear attack, as the consequences would be beyond the imagination. Oh and don't think they wouldn't use it, if Britain was threatened by anyone, they would simply say, come any closer... I think Trident's replacement is the line drawn in the sand.

As for the terrorist a threat, well you better get used to it. As anyone threatening the flow of oil or countries like Iran, developing a nuclear deterrent of their own, is not going to be allowed.

Skull: Oil is not running out.

However, cheap supplies of oil are running low.

As the price of Oil Based Products increase it makes extracting it from alternative sources, viable.

For example, we are currently saying that a well is finished when we have extracted about 30% of its available oil. As the price of oil rises, it becomes profitable to use more costly extraction methods to access the remaining 65(or so)%.

So, it wont be as cheap, but no way is it running out.

If you can watch the videos, you will gain some idea of world oil reserves, production and consumption.

It's running out!!!!!

The math doesn't lie folks.
The problem with oil isn't the amount that's left, as Eddie says there is plenty. It's the world's consumption of it, which is outstripping demand at a scary rate.

Nope Gaz, Eddie is correct, the oil is there still but it's in hard to reach places, also there is some unconfirmed news that old dry wells are re-filling themselves, anyway telling ppl that it's running out is just a way to justify high prices, for many parts of the world a self contained fuel cell car would be ideal, but that would cut the taxmen out so they won't let the tech go on sale, anywhere it's hot climate you could simply have the solar panels on the top 3 surfaces of any car with reflection protection of course constantly re-charging itself, I know of another tech to supp with it also but I ain't posting it incase it hasn't been thought of yet.

I,m not worried about oil running out, Up here in Eckland we have so many Wind Turbines that we will have an unlimited supply of leccy which means that shortly we will all be running electric cars for almost free....thank you Eck, your quite a Guy.

Hey there's an idea, why not build a wind farm inside Westminster, you could power London on the power they would generate slagging each other off before retreating to the smoking lounge for brandy's.

Storing it is the real problem.

If we could crack that, we would be most of the way to a solution
