Argentina has no soviet military hardware of any type. Neither tanks nor assault rifles or anything. It's all NATO/american. And yes, everything is old, outdated and not even near in the quantities required for another invasion and subsequent war.

What people misses here is that Argentina claims the islands because they line in the Argentinean Marine Platform, what I call the Argntinean Sea. That is the reason the MALVINAS ARE AND WILL ALWYS BE ARGENTINEAN SOIL! This is not a patriotic statement but a geological proof that the islands pertain to us. I don't care a bit about the islanders there, if it were for me I would send them all back to Britain, we don't need them there. I know for sure that when the empire falls the Islands will be ours again! There is no empire that has failed to fall, and yours as well as the U.S. will be soon stepped on by us.

Argentina has neither the moral or historic right to The Falklands.
The Falklands will remain a British Dependancy as long as the Islanders themselves wish to.
There are still to many vet's from the last conflict here in the UK and it would be political suicide for any party to even consider handing the islands back.
And probably more importantly, there is untold mineral wealth in the area which the UK will hold the rights for.

Even though our Armed Forces have disgracefully been run down we are still far too strong for Argentina.

All of this has been stated before.
Re-read this thread, put aside your patriotism for a while and seriously consider what the probable outcome of any conflict would be; another humiliating defeat for Argentina and far too many deaths, on both sides.

I don't know how old you are but can you remember all the dead bodies returning to Argentina in 1982?
Can you remember the humiliating pictures of thousands of Argentinian soldiers surrendering to a small handful of British soldiers?

I suspect that if Argentina tries again then the results would be far worse.

Put your own house in order first.

Really?
Now I don't want this to turn into any kind of mud-slinging match but the US suffered 19 fatalities when they invaded Genada!
Do you really think they could have sailed thousands of miles, faced sophisticated western weaponry, fought in such inhospitable conditions and fought the armed forces of Argentina, (substantially larger than Grenada!) and suffered half the casualties they did in Grenada?
Somehow I doubt it?

The UK has a military airstrip and base in The Falklands now; Argentinian forces wouldn't even be able to land on the Islands now let alone over-run them.

Oh dear! Stop it I can hardly type these words with the tears rolling down my cheeks...
Argentina stepping on the U.S never mind the U.K! What are you talking about?
Here's something for you to think about. It's GREAT Britain for a reason as you'll find out if you're ever foolish enough to try and take the Falklands by force. Whitehall may decide that Argentina would always be a threat to those British islanders living on the Falklands and may therefore decide that the only way to end that threat would be an invasion of Argentina! Ordinary Argentinians would benefit. Instead of corned beef for tea you could have some British roast beef. . !

It's called Great Britain because the original Union was between England, Scotland and Wales, on the greater of the British Isles. It is not because we are full of ourselves, but rather because we inhabit the larger of the islands.

Hence why our country is known as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Oh Dear! hark at you! It's called Great Britain because we're all great. End of story.

Feel free to continue in ignorance, if that is your wish. I tried to deny it, as the saying goes.
