It looks like tensions between Britain and Argentina are on the rise:

Is there any chance Argentina might try taking the Falklands again?

Would they have a good chance of success if they tried?
The British learnt a lot from the Falklands conflict, if they invaded
again it suggests Argentina did not.

Argentina has since rearmed, Britain no longer has a third of the capability
to wage war compared to the last time.
And they're already engaged in Iraq, an operation taking up most of their
strategic transport capability.

I'm of the opinion that the Argentinians could very well succeed in taking
the islands and keeping them.


We have Tornado's at Port Stanley. An invasion would be vigorously and
effectively opposed. Last time, there was only a small force of
Marines, too small to turn back a full-scale invasion.
