No, they won’t.

The RN would struggle to muster the force to recapture the islands again, but they wouldnt have to.

This time we got a substantial force on the Islands - thousands of military personnel and fixed wing jet fighters on 24/7, as opposed to 1982 when the garrison was 81 men and a 3” mortar with a cracked tube.

So, who would break an Argentinian blockade of the islands and resupply the garrison if it came to that?
