But they claim to be British in spite of all that, and therefore it is British. |

There's a weird fetish among NeverTrump/FVEY Cold Warrior types that Britain must be right about everything and the Messiah of NATO because Trump is a meanie. In reality, the world order left these people behind, and Britain is a failed state incapable of managing its own affairs, much less projecting any sort of willpower on the other side of the planet. But they wear the nice suits and speak in calm, measured words, which really gets this cohort off. |

| Argentina could take it, but can't hold it. The UK still has submarines to interdict anything at sea. Typhoons vs F16's would be interesting. |

Trump should support Milei on this one. No military support, just public support. The British don't deserve our help. They can't/won't stop him if he takes it. Better to take it now while the leftists are in charge and feeling too guilty to do anything about it. It'll be hilarious. |

It's a bit more complicated than that and that's summarizing it very nicely. They have to get those drones across hundreds of miles of very inhospitable conditions-the south Atlantic. It's not 1985 anymore-correct-and the British intelligence and other intel services are going to be a lot more aware and open as to what's going on. The islands are far more defended now than in 1982 while the Argentines are in a far worse position economically and militarily. No 5th of May or Belgrano battle groups anymore. |

The British are worse off than in 1982. That’s not debatable. The problem is the argentines are far worse and don’t have any real modern equipment to speak of. Their sub fleet randomly explodes at sea. Their ships sink in harbor. The 5th of may and belgrano battle groups don’t exist anymore. The most modern aircraft they have are block 15 MLU f16s which required British permission to get and required American tanker support to get to Argentina. The Falklands have a permanent regiment/brigade sized force stationed there which is a major upgrade over 1982 along with a sky Sabre air defense system, eurofighters and their own Falklands islands defense forces. |
