War or conflict?

I'd blow Martian up.

There'd be no shortage of conscripts for that little mission.

I was wondering about the laughter on the video until...

The flypast involved aircraft used in the Falklands and was led by the UK's last airworthy bomber.

We could avoid all wars and conflicts quite easily...

by dishing out a good nuking to any country who threatens us or our territory.

Falklands was invasion of territory so 'War' is appropriate as a sovereign nation was the on other side of the conflict as agressor.

It was 'Argentina' v 'UK'

We did not go to war against 'Afghanistan'

Did we go to war against 'Iraq' ? Or was our invasion an act of war?

An mentioned above the diplomacy is vital so 'War' or not in Falklands was a balancing act.

Simliarly no 'War' in NI as that would have repurcussions .

It doesn't really matter what it's called...

War/Conflict is just the bit that happens in between when the talking stops and when the talking starts again...

The only people who gain are the parasites - aka politicians!
