The Argentines invasion the first time was completely unexpected. This time, the Brits are ready. The Argentines will NOT be allowed to land troops.

Remember also that the Iron Lady order the Brit sub to sink the Belgrano while she was technically outside the exclusion zone, though headed towards the islands. That's how to fight a war..will Cameron have the same intestinal fortitude?

Also Reagan aided the Brits by giving them access to our satellite imagery..the Brits knew what the Argentines were up to. Will Obama do the same this time? I suspect not.

The Argentine military is a disastrous joke compared to 1982, too. Despite all their bluster, they haven’t funded their military in the last 30 years. Most of their aircraft (which are still A-4s, amazingly) are unflyable.

The exclusion zone was for commercial traffic, any Argentine Navy ship was always a target no matter where it was in any Sea or Ocean.
