Nothing would make me happier then Hugo Chavez getting whacked around by the British military...  Except for maybe Israel smacking around Iran a bit.

Venezuela's left-wing president has raised the stakes over the Falkland Islands by pledging his armed forces would fight alongside Argentina in any conflict with Britain.
The inflammatory promise from Hugo Chavez came in the run-up to the 30th anniversary of the April 1982 invasion of the islands by Argentina.
At the same time, Foreign Secretary William Hague insisted the deployment of a British warship and Prince William to the Falklands was ‘entirely routine’.



I guess Venezuela and Argentina think Britain would be alone in this conflict I mean after all Australia, Canada, and the United states are no way going to react to a threat to Britain. Nope none!




Britain wouldn't need our help or anyone else's to stomp both countries into the ground.  :lol

Much like the last time, the Royal Navy will completely shut down these countries with a TEZ. After 2 months of no imports or exports, even without ground support, it will be over.

I predict a bunch of Royal Navy submarines returning to port with a broom and a pirate flag run from the extended periscope.

I still dont really follow the logic of restricting oil sales to the UK to try to force us to give up a territory which ... has 60m barrel oil reserves.

huh? :headscratch:

LOL!  how is Venezuela going to get its troops over there?  I don't think their navy has that many row boats.

A while back they were giving the Russians a huge discount on oil in return the russians got to parade a few old warships around on a training mission with the  Venezuelans. What I do know is they have 6 thrown away missile frigates from the Italian navy. I think they were commissioned in the early 80s, they come with a handful of SSM's and a few surface to air missiles.

A handful of Diesel submarines, I would say Kilo class since Russia has been giving them away for years to anyone that wants them.

The Russian navy wasn't to happy with the exercise, basically they found out quick the Venezuelan Navy couldn't row a boat straight let alone join them in a military exercise, I believe it was ended after 3 days.

One the Frigates was suppose to be attacked by an Northrop F-5 (yes this is their primary attack plane..stop laughin!)
Anyhow the Frigate forgot to turn on its Air Search radar, and ended up being sunk in the war game, as well as one of the Submarines suppose to ambush the russian guided missile destroyer - ran aground on coral reef.

I am curious if Venz is ever going to sell those F-16s to Iran, it was mentioned a while back and Venz basically blew it off as a joke saying they'd sell whatever they want. Not sure what threat the US made towards that deal, however I know the US doesn't allow the sale of its equiptment to other countries and must be expressly written for it.

Sure as hell know they won't allow Venz to sell it to Iran, curious what the US would do if they tried - I am guessing intercept the ship sent to pick them up.

I'd love to see film of that - the insertion team would have to be half seals, half lawyers specialising in international contract and maritime law :lol

We'd probably do nothing, I highly doubt Venezuala or Iran have the capability to maintain those F-16's without U.S. aid and support.  And selling them off would alienate their supply of replacement parts.  The F-16's would become hangar queens within a couple of years just doing regular maintainence.  Even with BVR weapon systems and the birds and training to use them, I'll place my bet on American Fighter Pilots over anyone else in the world any day of the week.  :airplane:
