'If this submarine had got lost when the Falklands war was a hot war, would the British lend them a helicopter or two to help them look?....'
We live in different times; Falkland Islands are properly defended now and UK has its own nuclear deterrent.
Argentina is no longer a threat so I would expect, as a UK citizen, that usual humanitarian protocols are put into play.

- dazc 9y agoWell, of course, but I think the question wasn't purely rhetorical and deserved some kind of response.
