#1 Wars have their consequences. Ask the former Germans of Prussia and Silesia.

#2 Argentina has to wait some 10 years. British Falklanders would ask to join when UK will become a part of dar-al-salaam.

#3 Could this may be the Argies primary concern? Falklandistan, a new colonial Islamic caliphate just off their shore?

#7 Besoeker, I don't think the Argentinians can think that far ahead. They just want the boodle, if any.

#8 I would think Argentina could take the islands without war now. England is just a hollow shell of a hollow shell with a Queen.

#9 Lest we fergit, TO PARAPH WW2 THE RISE OF EURABIA + LONDONISTAN = IRELAND STANDS ALONE, agz ADOLF-JOZEF AHMED + ISLAMOFASCIST CONTROLLED CONTINENTAL EUROPE.

FEAR NOT, WINNIE CHURCHILL, POTUS BAMMER + AMERIKA IS COMING!

Unfortunately, the hard-fighting, hard-drinking Irish have no Army, Navy, Air Force, or national economy potent enough to challenge Buenos Aires, let alone reach the Falklands. THE GOOD NEWS FOR THE IRISH IS THAT NEITHER "EURABIA: NOR "LONDONISTAN", ETC. IS NOT IN ARGENTINA'S + CENTRAl-SOUTH AMERICA'S INTERESTS EITHER.

#12 I find it hard to imagine the current UK leadership and military mounting an operation to retake the islands. In fact at the end of Seaharrier Over the Falklands the author talks about the RAF building a long runway on the islands to help in the defense in the future. The Argentine air force really could have used such a runway last time around.

If the Argies attacked during their winter and removed the islanders and sent them on a plane back home and shouted imperialism, imperialism and UK only wants the islands for Oil you'd find few willing to side with the UK if they did choose to retake the islands.

#13 And if the British decided to blockade Argentina, how long before the economy collapses?
