I suppose Argentina suspects the Brits do not have the resources to defend the Falklands.

I also suspect they are right and Britain will toss in the towel. We will see.

Yep. Words of support are one thing, the power to back them up is another. I don’t know where the Argentine Air Force is today but the Royal Navy is a shadow of what it was during the 1982 war.

The Brit fleet may be down, but I bet there is a sub off of Argentina’s shore loaded with Torps and cruise missiles. Also, the Brit’s are a Nuclear nation if they want to go to that level.

No, they will never do that. The Brits get their back up over such matters. The Winston Churchill in them comes out. They will send Prince Harry and Prince William in their helicopters over to the Falklands to beat the crap out of Argentina, so they better watch out. Those two Princes are tough, lol!
