Before you accuse anyone else of being obtuse, look at a map - then the mirror.
They can attack the falklands far easier than can England defend them and it is not impossible for them to do it.
England no longer has the will to expend resourse & effort & everyone knows it - Except perhaps you.

I predict that Stolly will shortly point out that the UK (of which England is a part) has sufficient military assets in place in theater to kick Argentina’s ass and that it has a greater ability to resupply its forces than do the Argentines.

Its the United Kingdom, since you have a desire for accuracy. It wasn’t New York that invaded Afghanistan in 2001 was it ?

Yes, lets look at the map. Lets look at that 300 miles of ocean that is patrolled by fighter aircraft that outclass and within a few days match in numbers the fighter aircraft of Argentina. Lets also express wonder at the clueless people who think an invasion force that consists of Argentina’s single amphibious assault vessel (built in WWII) can escape destruction by the SSN believed to be on patrol, just like the General Belgrano didn’t.

Never mind the fact that their LST doesn’t even exist anymore since it was scrapped in 1997.

What a very strange place you inhabit.
