Some concern including the current Argentinian president and a deal with Russia that included military aircraft.

Throw in the murdered prosecutor and possible cover up it looks like things are pretty murky in Argentina.

Things are always murky in Argentina.

In the immortal words of Rodney King, "Can't we all just get along?"

Er, um... .excuse me, But the UK army and navy have been gutted...

We have airplane carriers with no airplanes on them..?

There is no way we could again win another Falklands war.

Fortunately for us, Argentina is in terrible shape.. and couldn't win anything !

There is no way that we could mount a similar operation in the 21st century.

Our carriers have no planes, and we plan to ask the French to operate from them.

When we thought there was a Russian sub in our waters last year we had to ask the US, Canada and France to look for it for us, as we lack the assets to patrol our own waters..

More, and probably most, importantly, we lack a Margaret Thatcher.

Every time any President of Argentina is having a hard time,
they start on about the Falklands, (the call the Malvinas).

We have very few troops left and they want to get rid of
more, so the Islands are really in a bad position if anything
gets started.

I spent two years in the Falklands building an Airport. At that
time there was nothing there at all, now I hear it is getting really
modern.

So you were responsible for "Death Star" were you?

Hmmm, maybe the U.S. might help as we might need a replacement for Gitmo...
