I don't believe Milei has any military designs on The Falklands. However if he did the present UK and Royal Navy would not be able to do anything about ti.

As bad as the UK military is now, Argentina is much worse. And the Brits only had about 50 Marines defending the Island when Argentina launched their surprise attack. Today, they have a far larger force and built up defenses.

“They need to go to sleep at night thinking we just might”.
RR talking of Viet Nam and using nukes.

Milei is planting that same seed.
Bottom line-democracies don’t start wars or war with each other.

The Falklands is too expensive to maintain. The 2k residents are not entitled to a vote on their sovereignty. Should the limey taxpayer pay for it? They got too many moozlems at home to keep pacified.
