This is typical of the idiocy that comes from this Administration. Nobody in the Falklands wants to be annexed by Argentina. They’re all Brits. Obama is just miffed at the evil European imperialists. He probably doesn’t appreciate that the people running Argentina are the descendants of European imperialists.
hey, i thought they were Italian immigrants!

I believe that the new card to turn up in this game is “oil”. Seems that oil has been discovered within the territorial waters of the Falklands in the past few years. Consequently, Argentina has renewed its interest in “liberating” the Falklands. One positive thing in favor of the Brits should this turn into a shooting war agaIn is I believe the UK now as two jump jet carriers. And they should be better prepared to fend of exercet missiles and such. If the Brits should be successful in putting boots on the ground and are able to defend them from any Argentina air strikes the outcome will be the same as the last go around. Brits will route them.
I think that’s actually a good statement.
Translated: Don’t expect the USA to come in to defend UK territory when you whittle your military force down to nothing.
The USA doesn’t give a rats ass either way.
