Right now the Brits are only good for special operations and hunting terrorists, that kind of thing.

That makes me wonder if now is a good time for Argentina to retake the Falkland Islands?

The first adventure was actually a couple inches from disaster and only a great deal of luck and even MORE incompetence on the other side prevented it.
It is hard to predict would people act foolishly or not but I believe they know themselves not to push anything like that right now.

Hard to do so without an air force. Or a navy.
