I hope the Brits are ready to defend it. Do they have anti-aircraft batteries and naval assets down there?

do we? Not that Obama would use them.

There have been many changes since the Falkland War, and none of them bode well for the Britons inhabiting the islands. Not only are the British unwilling (largely) to defend the claim again, due to the factor of their being heavily intertwined in the EU, they may well be politically unable to do so, even if they were willing. I suspect, that in the end, Britain will cede the islands to Argentina...
