Yes, easy to condemn Argentine Forces, but most were young conscripts caught up in a conflict they didn't want. They took the full brunt of U.K. Forces, while their leaders and Galtieri and his crew ranted about them being the glorious liberators.
what is quite interesting is how calm,measured and thoughtful many of the videos (of documentaries filmed in the mid 1980's) here on youtube are.It's a very old fashioned and sadly missed way recent history was presented back then.Nowadays of course there would be over dramatic soundtrack, the camera would focus in on any soldier showing any sign of grief & there would be loads of people not even remotedly clued up on the finer details of the operation giving their so-called insight on events.

Argentina was defeated by a much smaller force, routed, humiliated, and then shown kindness they would never show if they had been the victors.

As an ex Brit soldier myself during this period he is there to lead & command his soldiers but as CO he should not have been on this attack & it failed sadly but that's war.
Awkward when Argentina made anti-Gurkha propaganda, saying they ate their prisoners. Didn't work to well when the Argies saw the Gurkhas, shat themselves and ran to the British to surrender.

The british goverment always wanted to have a territory on the south atlantic ocean it started with the buenos aires invasion in 1807 and 1845 in Obligado
Regarding the ‘mad fool’ nonsense written about Col ‘H’ Jones, 2 Para, deal with the evidence rather than commenting based on conjecture. 1. ‘ H’ Jones had been an instructor at Warminster Battle school and so one must ask, why would he go against the doctrinal teachings he espoused? He has been criticised for being to restrictive in his command. He was merely conducting the battle in the way he knew and had taught others to do. The British Army’ smallest fighting unit the section (8 men) fight with 2 fire teams, each with their own machine gun. This was ‘H’s innovation equipping 2 Para with extra machine guns prior to the conflict, indicating that he had visionary awareness of the needs of had to fight a battle. 2. The attack on Goose Green started as a silent then noisy night attack. Night attacks are notoriously difficult to coordinate and control. One can end up with lots of friendly fire incidents. Hence the need for restrictive control. Something he has been criticised for in absentia. 3. ‘H’was time restricted from the very start and 2 Para were required to fight a battle (14 km) covering 1 km per hour. Also the Battalion had very little time to plan and execute the operation. Added to this, the Battalion sacrificed heavy equipment for a fast approach and speed to fight the battle, with so little night to fight in. 4. The BBC’s leaking of “a parachute Battalion being poised to attack Darwin and Goose Green” compromised the whole operation and took away the element of surprise from 2 Para. 5. It is not clear that the Darwin Hill position was occupied (or expected to be so heavily reinforced). The information available to ‘H’on this wasn’t conclusive and so certainly A company were surprised to find the Darwin Hill position so heavily defended. This position was occupied once the battle started. 6. At Darwin and Middle Hill both A and B Coy came under heavy sustained fire from fixed line machine guns and accurate sniper fire. The ground was very flat and offered very little to the paras in terms of covered approaches to take on the enemy. Once soldiers go to ground under fire, it is very difficult to get them up again and regain momentum. 2 Para were now attacking a position in broad daylight that they had wanted to have taken in darkness. 7. Now the enemy could see who they were attacking it would be much easier to bring down accurate artillery fire on the stuck A and B companies of 2 Para once their position had been bracketed (artillery ranging in on the stationary troops). This is what began to happen and being in a static position meant taking needless casualties with no visible gains for 2 Para. 8. The other fear was that it was not known how many troops were now garrisoned at Goose Green (especially as 2 Para had encountered unexpectedly heavy resistance on Darwin Hill). The fear for ‘H’ was that with his Battalion being unable to break through the position they were thus vulnerable to counterattack, which could have proved disastrous had ‘H’ sought to commit his reserve D company too early. He would have been left with no more cards to play and may have had to retreat off of the position. Also, he still had the main objective to take and was probably maintaining his reserve for that (in line with his 6 phased plan). 9. It does not matter how well trained one is, the true test of soldiering capability is ones reaction under fire. No British Battalion had fought a high intensity conflict since the Korean War of the 50’s. Volunteer soldiers with wives, families and lives back home may not fully understand what it means to risk ones life for Queen, country, pay packet and mates until they are placed on the spot. 10. ‘H’s charge around the spur appears to have happened after it seems he had exhausted all options in the 90 minutes he was with A company in the gorse gully. It cannot to ‘H’ have seemed that much of a problem that he thought it would merit the use of his reserve, hence his leading the attack by personal example. As a leader you do not ask people to do what you are not prepared to do yourself. Sandhurst Academy teaches “your men first always, you last always”. 11. In my view, having looked at the evidence it seems that there were two co occurring flacking attacks on the Argentinian positions of which ‘H’ led the right flanking assault when he was shot and killed. Considering everything he did and the enormous pressure he and his Battalion were placed under, it was a VC well deserved both by ‘H’and the Battalion which set the tone of moral and physical domination that was the hallmark of the whole campaign.
As an ex soldier myself he is the CO & should not have been on this attack. The soldiers are better trained day in & day out. He is needed to direct action from the top of his Regt pinnacle. He should not have led what was a platoon attack. He obviously felt he had to prove himself to his men but it was wrong decision. If a platoon attack has your CO there it compromises the men of that attack in trying to protect their popular CO. He should have known that & his 2nd in command should have told him no no no. Plain & simple.
@eltucanmamero Actually, there were British settlers on the Falklands before any Argentines ever set foot onto the islands. A garrison of Argentinians tried to claim the land from the British, but were peacefully expelled. The only legitimate claim is that the Spanish claimed the Falklands off the French, although the French were no longer on the islands. And even then it would be Spanish. Still a case of "it's close to us, it's ours".
a question for all you experts out there in crazy youtube land: - IF the Falkland islands/ Malvinas were of such vital importance to the Argentines then WHY did they only land a bunch of conscripts there to defend the place rather than turn it into a military stronghold and fight to the very bitter end? Oh and R.I.P Colonel H Jones - I saw his memorial plaque at the ferry terminal in Kingswear in beautiful Devon last weekend.
Se enviaron tropas no del todo preparadas, sin el equipo suficiente, porque NADIE PENSÓ QUE SE IBA A COMBATIR CONTRA EL REINO UNIDO. La operación consistía en recuperar las islas y luego negociar.
@TheTwollocks British soldiers with soldiers concriptos film took more than 10 to defeat in the battle Mount Longdon hard drive 10 hours to 10 hours .. darwin Britain had the largest loss of life in the Falkland Islands and dangerous against 20-year concriptos
Hey guys (argentines and british) . The soldier is just the fuse of the power. Don´t fight for those things you don´t rule. The real interest behind honour ... is the economy ...
Colonel Herbert Jones died on the battle of Goose Green it has been discovered he was killed by a conscript soldier Oscar Ledesma (18 year old at that time) using a mag riffle, last year Ledesma appeared in an argentinian tv program. Jones was the highest rank officer who died on malvinas war. Its surprise how an officer was defeated by a young boy with only 2 months of training.
captain keith And tell us what britain actually won. Because Argentina didn't have to pay war compensation. The UN ruled that Argentina only tried to reclaim what belongs to them and therefore, it wasn't an act of invasion, it wasn't "An Ungentleman Act" as the fucking propagandistic british film depicted the war. The Argentinians, with A4B Skyhawk scrap from the Vietnam War managed to sink state of the art british ships such as the Coventry, Sheffield, Sir Galahand, Antelope, etc etc, plus the embarrassing hit on the Invencible carrier that the british have so long tried to hide from the public. So, enlighten us and tell us what britain actually won from that war. Keith, if you are really an army captain, you want to hide that title. British army people are brainwashed into that they are the best of society, but we all know that army people are thick skulled cunts who can't find a job and so they join the army to seek shelter. Once they have been through the army, they become pitiful people, homeless and alkies, because they are just that: thick-skulled wankers without critical thinking and good judgement to cope with daily life
@@SalaciousDr it's not uncommon for spineless wankers without the guts or gumption to join up to hold that opinion of the armed forces. It's a kind of self-denial thing to try and camouflage your own cowardice.
@@SalaciousDr "tell us what britain actually won from that war" Uh, the actual war? What flag flies over the Falklands and what happened to Galtieri and his friends after the war?
@eltucanmamero Yes, 200 years or so ago. This is the 21st century, the people living there see themselves as British. Don't you think it for the people of the Falklands to decide, not Argentina or Britain. If Argentina retake the Falklands, they would be doing what the British did centuries ago, the difference being that invading countries is no longer acceptable. Argentina had their chance in 1947 to contest the claim in the Hague but turned it down.
He wasn't dead covardly neither by the back. Read something please! My respects for the Col Jones and for all brave officers that run together with their troops. From Argentine, elgriego.
RI 25 will kick the ass of the parachute regiment in the battle of Goose Green and Darwin conscript soldier killed like a dog at the head of the regiment in paras 2, herbert jones I wanted to be Rambo, long live long live Argentina RI25 infantry, god not save the queen and I hope to die like a rat, remember English in the next war will not take prisoners all his soldiers will die!!
Why did the Argies raise the white flag then?! Arses got kicked and Argies were conscripts, not professional soldiers. I can’t think of a Spanish speaking country, that last won a war 😏
+Dean Ferguson and in which way you humiliated Argentina??? Don't you know you fucking turd that Argentina didn't have to pay war compensation. The UN ruled that Argentina only tried to reclaim what belongs to them and therefore, it wasn't an act of invasion, it wasn't "An Ungentleman Act" as the fucking propagandistic british film depicted the war. Argentina lost an old vessel veteran of the WWII, namely the Gral. Belgrano formerly the US Valiant. Whereas, Argentina sunk state-of-the-art frigates such as the Sheffield, the Antelope, the Atlantic Conveyor, etc. In terms of aircrafts, Argentina lost old Douglas A4 veterans of the Vietnam War and old Argentine made Pucara propellers. The modern Superetendard Exocet carriers were never hit by the Sea-Harriers. To sum up: Argentina didn't pay war compensation and lost scrap war material. However, the british lost modern material. So, tell me you fucking stupid thick-skulled cunt how was it that Argentina got humiliated and -if you brains allows it- do some basic book-keeping and work out who spent more on that war. And tell me you fucking arsehole, tell me exactly what britain won?? Do you go to war just for the sake of winning battles? That's what that evil cow M. Thatcher did to you all. She sent you to war just to win a battle and political gain for herself, but not gain for britain
devuelvan las malvinas son argentinas desde siempre y son latinoamericanas... si estados unidos o cualquier otra potencia o china les invadiera parte de su tierra y q los reclamos no fueran escuchados... que se sentiria? mas alla.. ponganse a pensar en lo cotidiano. si les ocuparan sus casas o sus departamentos para vivir personas agenas q no tienen nada q ver con ustedes. que se sentiria? si lo pudieran entender.. sin que les pase a ustedes.. seria grandioso.

Yes. The battle was more complex than suggested in news reports and headlines. The main reason was that low cloud over Darwin and Goose Green prevented Harriers based on Hermes from softening up the Argentinian forward positions in Darwin, ahead of 2 Paras advance on Goose Green. This meant they had to carry out this task themselves while trying to avoid civilian casualties. Eventually the low cloud lifted and 2 Harriers were able to attack Argentinian artillery and anti aircraft positions on the Goose Green peninsula. PS Interesting that the Argentinian commander when it was over refused to believe his garrison of 1200 troops were defeated by the 500 of 2 Para.
the interest of the british goverment on the island its there economic resources, they didn`t fight to set free the villagers. If the Britihsh had not established colorners in Malvinas the islands would be returned to Argentina.
La democracia estaba por llegar de cualquier manera, agradecer a UK que fue la que armó con sus ventas de armas, bombas, buques a los militares que después recuperaron las islas el 2 de Abril. Si vieras la historia los buques vendidos por UK, las bombas ( viejas pero con utilidad para romper aeropuertos en un suspusto conflicto con Chile pero que las utilizaron en sus barcos...) aviones como el Canberra y otros.
@MARIANO777RACINGCLUB Friend (amigo em Inglês), conheço sim a historia e todos sabem que a Argentina se fudeu porque foi na onda do Galtieri, com um exercito de principiantes mal preparados e mal armados. Garotos corojosos sim, pela sua pátria, mas mal preparados. Valorosos Jovens, tem meu respeito. Eu disse que 500 paras UK derrotaram 1500 soldados da Argentina, não quiz dizer que os mataram, pesquise sobre a batalha Goose Green. Sim, a UK teve baixas, como qualquer Guerra normal.
@booger2203 Decent Fight? Ask your navy, or your Army... Our pilots using A4 Skyhawks from the 50's gave a hell of an ass kicking to your ships, and you are still telling me of a decent fight?

What is courage? I don't know how to define it, but I do know this man had it in spades. Let's leave the politics out of it, eh? Surely the Argentines too can respect courage when they see it. RIP.

3. ‘H’was time restricted from the very start and 2 Para were required to fight a battle (14 km) covering 1 km per hour. Also the Battalion had very little time to plan and execute the operation. Added to this, the Battalion sacrificed heavy equipment for a fast approach and speed to fight the battle, with so little night to fight in.
4. The BBC’s leaking of “a parachute Battalion being poised to attack Darwin and Goose Green” compromised the whole operation and took away the element of surprise from 2 Para.
5. It is not clear that the Darwin Hill position was occupied (or expected to be so heavily reinforced). The information available to ‘H’on this wasn’t conclusive and so certainly A company were surprised to find the Darwin Hill position so heavily defended. This position was occupied once the battle started.
6. At Darwin and Middle Hill both A and B Coy came under heavy sustained fire from fixed line machine guns and accurate sniper fire. The ground was very flat and offered very little to the paras in terms of covered approaches to take on the enemy. Once soldiers go to ground under fire, it is very difficult to get them up again and regain momentum. 2 Para were now attacking a position in broad daylight that they had wanted to have taken in darkness.
7. Now the enemy could see who they were attacking it would be much easier to bring down accurate artillery fire on the stuck A and B companies of 2 Para once their position had been bracketed (artillery ranging in on the stationary troops). This is what began to happen and being in a static position meant taking needless casualties with no visible gains for 2 Para.
8. The other fear was that it was not known how many troops were now garrisoned at Goose Green (especially as 2 Para had encountered unexpectedly heavy resistance on Darwin Hill). The fear for ‘H’ was that with his Battalion being unable to break through the position they were thus vulnerable to counterattack, which could have proved disastrous had ‘H’ sought to commit his reserve D company too early. He would have been left with no more cards to play and may have had to retreat off of the position. Also, he still had the main objective to take and was probably maintaining his reserve for that (in line with his 6 phased plan).
9. It does not matter how well trained one is, the true test of soldiering capability is ones reaction under fire. No British Battalion had fought a high intensity conflict since the Korean War of the 50’s. Volunteer soldiers with wives, families and lives back home may not fully understand what it means to risk ones life for Queen, country, pay packet and mates until they are placed on the spot.
10. ‘H’s charge around the spur appears to have happened after it seems he had exhausted all options in the 90 minutes he was with A company in the gorse gully. It cannot to ‘H’ have seemed that much of a problem that he thought it would merit the use of his reserve, hence his leading the attack by personal example. As a leader you do not ask people to do what you are not prepared to do yourself. Sandhurst Academy teaches “your men first always, you last always”.
11. In my view, having looked at the evidence it seems that there were two co occurring flacking attacks on the Argentinian positions of which ‘H’ led the right flanking assault when he was shot and killed. Considering everything he did and the enormous pressure he and his Battalion were placed under, it was a VC well deserved both by ‘H’and the Battalion which set the tone of moral and physical domination that was the hallmark of the whole campaign.
Who is this fuckwit @eltucanmamero. Britain won, Argies lost. Case closed.
As an ex soldier myself he is the CO & should not have been on this attack. The soldiers are better trained day in & day out. He is needed to direct action from the top of his Regt pinnacle. He should not have led what was a platoon attack. He obviously felt he had to prove himself to his men but it was wrong decision. If a platoon attack has your CO there it compromises the men of that attack in trying to protect their popular CO. He should have known that & his 2nd in command should have told him no no no. Plain & simple.
@eltucanmamero Actually, there were British settlers on the Falklands before any Argentines ever set foot onto the islands. A garrison of Argentinians tried to claim the land from the British, but were peacefully expelled. The only legitimate claim is that the Spanish claimed the Falklands off the French, although the French were no longer on the islands. And even then it would be Spanish. Still a case of "it's close to us, it's ours".
a question for all you experts out there in crazy youtube land: - IF the Falkland islands/ Malvinas were of such vital importance to the Argentines then WHY did they only land a bunch of conscripts there to defend the place rather than turn it into a military stronghold and fight to the very bitter end? Oh and R.I.P Colonel H Jones - I saw his memorial plaque at the ferry terminal in Kingswear in beautiful Devon last weekend.
Tin pot army with teenagers who where abused by the officers
Se enviaron tropas no del todo preparadas, sin el equipo suficiente, porque NADIE PENSÓ QUE SE IBA A COMBATIR CONTRA EL REINO UNIDO. La operación consistía en recuperar las islas y luego negociar.

@TheTwollocks British soldiers with soldiers concriptos film took more than 10 to defeat in the battle Mount Longdon hard drive 10 hours to 10 hours .. darwin Britain had the largest loss of life in the Falkland Islands and dangerous against 20-year concriptos
You forgot to mention the non-conscript Argentinian Marines and Special forces involved in the defence of Mount Longdon
Hey guys (argentines and british) . The soldier is just the fuse of the power. Don´t fight for those things you don´t rule. The real interest behind honour ... is the economy ...
Colonel Herbert Jones died on the battle of Goose Green it has been discovered he was killed by a conscript soldier Oscar Ledesma (18 year old at that time) using a mag riffle, last year Ledesma appeared in an argentinian tv program. Jones was the highest rank officer who died on malvinas war. Its surprise how an officer was defeated by a young boy with only 2 months of training.
but the argentinians still lost the war!!!
captain keith And tell us what britain actually won. Because Argentina didn't have to pay war compensation. The UN ruled that Argentina only tried to reclaim what belongs to them and therefore, it wasn't an act of invasion, it wasn't "An Ungentleman Act" as the fucking propagandistic british film depicted the war.
The Argentinians, with A4B Skyhawk scrap from the Vietnam War managed to sink state of the art british ships such as the Coventry, Sheffield, Sir Galahand, Antelope, etc etc, plus the embarrassing hit on the Invencible carrier that the british have so long tried to hide from the public.
So, enlighten us and tell us what britain actually won from that war.
Keith, if you are really an army captain, you want to hide that title. British army people are brainwashed into that they are the best of society, but we all know that army people are thick skulled cunts who can't find a job and so they join the army to seek shelter. Once they have been through the army, they become pitiful people, homeless and alkies, because they are just that: thick-skulled wankers without critical thinking and good judgement to cope with daily life
18 is a man. A man in a trench vs someone running up a hill exposed.
@@SalaciousDr it's not uncommon for spineless wankers without the guts or gumption to join up to hold that opinion of the armed forces. It's a kind of self-denial thing to try and camouflage your own cowardice.
@@SalaciousDr "tell us what britain actually won from that war"
Uh, the actual war? What flag flies over the Falklands and what happened to Galtieri and his friends after the war?
Es raro q nunca se hizo una película de esta guerra!!! Ambos bandos dejaron todo en el campo de batalla!!! No fue fácil para ningúno de los 2
👏👏👏💪
@eltucanmamero Yes, 200 years or so ago. This is the 21st century, the people living there see themselves as British. Don't you think it for the people of the Falklands to decide, not Argentina or Britain. If Argentina retake the Falklands, they would be doing what the British did centuries ago, the difference being that invading countries is no longer acceptable. Argentina had their chance in 1947 to contest the claim in the Hague but turned it down.
Las Malvinas es de Argentina🇦🇷💪
@PhilClarke1080 gained nothing back to the islands
He wasn't dead covardly neither by the back. Read something please! My respects for the Col Jones and for all brave officers that run together with their troops. From Argentine, elgriego.
RI 25 will kick the ass of the parachute regiment in the battle of Goose Green and Darwin conscript soldier killed like a dog at the head of the regiment in paras 2, herbert jones I wanted to be Rambo, long live long live Argentina RI25 infantry, god not save the queen and I hope to die like a rat, remember English in the next war will not take prisoners all his soldiers will die!!
ARGENTINA(1) VS ENGLAND (NATO,USA and Gurkhas?)...
Why did the Argies raise the white flag then?! Arses got kicked and Argies were conscripts, not professional soldiers. I can’t think of a Spanish speaking country, that last won a war 😏
We won, we trashed you, we humiliated you, in one, we beat you, get over it. Ha Ha.
+Dean Ferguson and in which way you humiliated Argentina???
Don't you know you fucking turd that Argentina didn't have to pay war compensation. The UN ruled that Argentina only tried to reclaim what belongs to them and therefore, it wasn't an act of invasion, it wasn't "An Ungentleman Act" as the fucking propagandistic british film depicted the war.
Argentina lost an old vessel veteran of the WWII, namely the Gral. Belgrano formerly the US Valiant. Whereas, Argentina sunk state-of-the-art frigates such as the Sheffield, the Antelope, the Atlantic Conveyor, etc.
In terms of aircrafts, Argentina lost old Douglas A4 veterans of the Vietnam War and old Argentine made Pucara propellers. The modern Superetendard Exocet carriers were never hit by the Sea-Harriers.
To sum up: Argentina didn't pay war compensation and lost scrap war material. However, the british lost modern material.
So, tell me you fucking stupid thick-skulled cunt how was it that Argentina got humiliated and -if you brains allows it- do some basic book-keeping and work out who spent more on that war.
And tell me you fucking arsehole, tell me exactly what britain won?? Do you go to war just for the sake of winning battles? That's what that evil cow M. Thatcher did to you all. She sent you to war just to win a battle and political gain for herself, but not gain for britain
Fucking thieve!!White thrash from tinny islands the whole world hate your fucking country

Weird comment.
MALVINAS ARGENTINA !!
devuelvan las malvinas son argentinas desde siempre y son latinoamericanas... si estados unidos o cualquier otra potencia o china les invadiera parte de su tierra y q los reclamos no fueran escuchados... que se sentiria? mas alla..
ponganse a pensar en lo cotidiano. si les ocuparan sus casas o sus departamentos para vivir personas agenas q no tienen nada q ver con ustedes. que se sentiria?
si lo pudieran entender.. sin que les pase a ustedes.. seria grandioso.
Las Malvinas son argentinas

No gracias
Ok. Have you run out of cocaine?😂
I'm sorry but does anyone on here actually know what happened at GG? Because all I am reading is total bollox.
Yes. The battle was more complex than suggested in news reports and headlines. The main reason was that low cloud over Darwin and Goose Green prevented Harriers based on Hermes from softening up the Argentinian forward positions in Darwin, ahead of 2 Paras advance on Goose Green. This meant they had to carry out this task themselves while trying to avoid civilian casualties. Eventually the low cloud lifted and 2 Harriers were able to attack Argentinian artillery and anti aircraft positions on the Goose Green peninsula. PS Interesting that the Argentinian commander when it was over refused to believe his garrison of 1200 troops were defeated by the 500 of 2 Para.
the interest of the british goverment on the island its there economic resources, they didn`t fight to set free the villagers. If the Britihsh had not established colorners in Malvinas the islands would be returned to Argentina.
***** las malvinas fueron ocupadas por los argentinas y siempre van a ser Argentinas los kelpers son intrusos de nuestras tierras
BRAVE, BRAVE MAN.

La democracia estaba por llegar de cualquier manera, agradecer a UK que fue la que armó con sus ventas de armas, bombas, buques a los militares que después recuperaron las islas el 2 de Abril. Si vieras la historia los buques vendidos por UK, las bombas ( viejas pero con utilidad para romper aeropuertos en un suspusto conflicto con Chile pero que las utilizaron en sus barcos...) aviones como el Canberra y otros.
@MARIANO777RACINGCLUB Friend (amigo em Inglês), conheço sim a historia e todos sabem que a Argentina se fudeu porque foi na onda do Galtieri, com um exercito de principiantes mal preparados e mal armados. Garotos corojosos sim, pela sua pátria, mas mal preparados. Valorosos Jovens, tem meu respeito. Eu disse que 500 paras UK derrotaram 1500 soldados da Argentina, não quiz dizer que os mataram, pesquise sobre a batalha Goose Green. Sim, a UK teve baixas, como qualquer Guerra normal.
The Spanish always hated us Brits.

@booger2203 Decent Fight? Ask your navy, or your Army... Our pilots using A4 Skyhawks from the 50's gave a hell of an ass kicking to your ships, and you are still telling me of a decent fight?
You forgot to mention the Mirages, Pucaras or Meteors. PS Skyhawks and their missiles flew faster than Harriers. (Remember them?)
Gracias DIOS LAS FALKLANS SON BRITÁNICAS..!!!
Y tu madre me extraña
@GUnitSeanAKAmong YOUR NOT FIGHTERS IN THE ISLANDS
return the Malvinas are Argentine and are always in Latin America ... if the U.S. or any other power or China invaded them of their land claims and q were not heard ... that would feel? beyond ..
Try thinking about the everyday. if they occupy their homes or apartments for people living agena q q have nothing to do with you. that would feel?
if you could understand .. but happen to you .. would be great.
