Looks like they are bound and determined to get their nose bloodied a second time. Maybe they are hoping Bummer will lean on the UK.

Oh, yeah, Zero will be a big help. That jug-eared moron can’t even land the Olympics or keep Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Democrat column.

Sadly this would be the best time for the Argentinians to muck about. For one, I think that the leadership today is nowhere as strong as that under the Iron Lady. Secondly, while the weapons may be more lethal pound for pound (and obviously more technologically evolved), they simply do not have the logistics, the numbers or the efficacy of going halfway around the world as they once did. The UK has seriously cannibalized their military, and all the Argentines need to ensure is that the mistakes they made last time (some logistical errors, as well as some weapons being duds ...e.g. all those weapons that hit but failed to explode) are not present this time round.

The UK would not be able to do what they did then. For comparison purposes, France still could (both in terms of ability, and more importantly will). Great ....I mean Gelded Britain ...has truly lost its cajones!

The existing forces and rapidly deployed forces could take care of it. Technology is much different than in the early 80’s.

I don’t think Britain has the political stones to mount an invasion fleet like then did 30 years ago.
