In 1982 the British navy had a slow motion invasion.
These days the British navy has devolved to the point that rainbow colored sails will power their navy.
If the prevailing winds don’t blow north to south for a few weeks they will be in trouble.

England can not fight a war—she has two carriers and no planes (they make). The argentines need to just sail a few men in and take them back by brute force. UK is too weak to think of fighting and will hand them over. The Islands are lost. Just as—in the Long Run—Israel. When the USA loses its power in the world (and it might) they are doomed. Its all a question of time. As Ben Franklin said: “He who hath patience can have what he will.”
I distinctly remember that. Kinda slow motion as it takes a while to congeal an invasion force from ships scattered all over the world. And, it is a long ocean voyage.
This hit us personally as we were scheduled to return to the States on the QE2, which Thatcher seized as her troop ship. Bummer. Don’t blame her. Much more important to protect holdings against socialist pigs.
