Cameron and Sarkozy hail UK-France defence treaties

I do have one question though. If Argentina were to make another grab for the Falklands would the UK have to ask France's permission to defend them???

No, because we still have Soveriegn rights, just. But the French would still try and sell weaponry to the Argies, just like last time!

If we now have to share carriers, does that mean they will on a rota? So that means we can only got to war when its our turn with a carrier

Actually the French refused to sell any spare parts to the argies or anymore exocets to replace those that were used.

They also did DACT with our pilots so they knew what the Mirage was capable of.

sorry but in that case the French are infairly given a bad rap. They helped us politically in ways that the US politicians didn't.

You have to remember that in terms of overseas possesions the French take on the Falklands is remarkably similar to ours.
