Funny you should mention the Falklands. Britain is getting ready, so you are prescient as well as Rush.
Not covered in the US, is the story of the island of St. Helena (where they sent Napoleon for the last time), formerly only serviced by one Royal Mail ship— no air service. The construction of an engineering marvel— a modern full capacity jet airport, handled by Scottish PLC Basil Read Construction (and, might add suitable for airborne supply and attack group staging) amazing:

Said airport being 3812 air miles to the Falklands— ie. refuelable and reachable.
The oil shelf belongs to the Brits, but Argentina would sure like to steal it. Hence this large investment into what is a very small amount of tourism business to St. Helena, as a “cover” excuse. IMHO.
Very forward thinking. And the construction is a wonder in any case- heavily impacting the culture of the old islanders by it’s increase in people, and money. But it is really part of the remnant of the British Empire— for the sake of oil off Argentina.
