   The Argentinians attacked the Falklands, without us obliterating BA.   
   What better target to attack than one that cannot retaliate?   
      
   By not turning the whole of Argentine into radioactive glass, our   
   so-called nuclear deterrent lost all credibility. So, we might as well   
   scrap it. Clearly, if we won't nuke the Argies, we certainly won't nuke   
   the Ruskies.
