I think so also..probably in late fall...that will give them several months to reinforce the islands..I don’t think Brits will again attempt to invade in the wintertime in the S. Atlantic...

In the last war, Britain had a reliable ally in the US, with a REAL President - Ronald Reagan. This time, they've got Barry the Fairy.

Not much of a dog left to wag!
Not even for holiday parades.
No fuel for the neglected vehicles missing parts.

Considering recent news of support from China and Russia for Argentina’s position on the Falklands, the fact that Obama is no friend of the UK and that the Royal Navy currently has no active aircraft carriers, an invasion seems more and more likely.
