The Malvinas/Falklands petty nastiness continues.
Argentina has reportedly turned away 2 British cruise ships from docking at Tierra del Fuego's port of Ushuaia...because they had just visited the Falkland islands port of Stanley.
Tensions have heightened as the 30th anniversary of the Falklands/Malvinas war between the UK and Argentina nears.
The 2 ships instead headed for Punta Arenas in Chile.
AND: analysis : Could the Brits defend the Falklands...again?
"...in military terms (the Falklands War)...is 100 years ago," says a Brit observer...because
Argentine forces are primitive. Thus...this is a diplomatic war of words.
