Britain is now militarily incapable of defending the Falkland Islands, a leading Argentinian international relations expert has warned, declaring its power “practically nonexistent” and reigniting concerns over the UK’s ability to protect its overseas territories.
Carlos Perez Llana, former Argentine ambassador to France and a respected academic, delivered the stark verdict while analysing Europe’s faltering role in the escalating Middle East crisis involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Speaking on the Argentinian current affairs programme Modo Fontevecchia, broadcast on Net TV and Radio Perfil, Mr Perez Llana said: “It’s plausible to think that today Great Britain couldn’t defend the Falkland Islands.”
Mr Perez Llana, who holds a doctorate in Political Science and International Relations from the National University of Rosario and has taught at Torcuato Di Tella University, added: “Today, militarily, Great Britain is practically nonexistent. Even though it’s a nuclear power, it’s not an independent nuclear power because its nuclear weapons depend on the United States.”
He contrasted Britain’s weakness with France’s strength amid the current global crises. He told viewers: “In Europe, from a defence standpoint, from a military standpoint, if we add the drama of Ukraine to the drama linked to the current situation, the only country capable of flexing its defence and geopolitical muscle is France.” France has deployed the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to Cyprus, while Britain has failed to send its fleet even to protect a British base on the island.

Just getting ready for the islamic takeover
Virtually everyone in the Falklands is British and want to remain British.
Argentina does not and has never had any legitimate claim on that territory.
When they briefly took it over by military force back in the 80s they trashed the place - even the post office was filled with urine and feces and they just went to the bathroom on the open floor.
The Falklands may be more British than the mainland...
If the Argies we’re ever going to try to take those islands, doing it during the rule of Kier Starmer is the perfect time.
What benefit do the Falklands provide to the Islamic State of GB?
Or just ask him to give it away like he has multiple other pieces of sovereign British land during his tenure.
That too.
National pride....that’s about it.
Great Britain has been demoted to Good Britain, or perhaps just Britain.
Mediocre Britain
Britain can’t even defend Britain. They’re being taken over without even a whimper.
Since UK is no longer able to defend her territories, I suggest we take some of them over. Monroe Doctrine applies, and we should take them soon, before UK Islamists get any ideas of exporting Islam into our backyard. Argentina can have the Falklands.
Anguilla
Bermuda
British Virgin Islands
Cayman Islands
Montserrat
Turks and Caicos Islands
They cannot get even one destroyer out of port to send to Cyprus. How the Royal Navy has fallen.
At this point, they decide to switch allegiance to Argentina.
The UK is no longer British...
Can’t say he’s not right.
Never mind the Falklands. Can they defend Great Britain?
I have been to the Falklands (Stanley). It’s like a mini UK minus the muslims.
The dhimmi in the UK are finished as a world power.
