Happy to remind them about Sandy Woodward, Jeremy Moore, Col. Jones and Sgt. McKay. A lot has changed in 28 years but never underestimate the British.

Didn't the Argentinians get their butt kicked enough over this by Maggie Thatcher back in 1982? Do they really want to engage in “Smackdown II” and have it handed to them once again? Oh well, just like the Arabs v Israel, some just never learn.

I would guess the Brit’s are not counting on any Intell regarding invasion fleets from Argentina from President Obozo and the VP Dolt.

This is not Thatcher's Britain. It's highly unlikey the Brits could prevail in another military campaign. They lack the Naval assets they had back in the 80's.

Not to mention friends like Ron Reagan and the people who elected him. They liked the Obamaites during our election campaign and will have to live with them just like the american Jews will have to live with the Obamaite Israeli policies.

...which is exactly why there is new saber-rattling.

“Don’t make us come over there and kick your ass again.” Nice to say but this time the government of the United States, and its Supreme Leader is siding with the Argentines.

Considering that England no longer has even that pathetic remnant of a once mighty deep water Navy, they ought to mind their English manners.
This time Argentina might just kick their ass off again for good.

So do the argies. And this time, they would be facing more than a mere score of Royal Marines like they did last time they invaded. They would be facing over 1,000 troops (most of them battle-hardened from a stint or two in Helmand), a Squadron of Eurofighters, artillery, and AAA missile batteries, at least one warship, as well as the local FIDF acting as an auxiliary to the main garrison.
The airbase at RAF Mount Pleasant also means that more men and equipment could be strategically airlifted in during the rise in tensions that would precede an invasion...

The UK still has three of these I believe... One is in reserve and may need 18 months to reactivate.
Jump jet mini-carriers - but that is what they had in 1982 as well...
