If Argentina wanted to take the Falklands again, would they be able to hold onto it this time?
>>
>>65104764
No, just like every other time you make these threads.

England no longer has a navy.
>>
No they can't, and likely won't be able to for at least a generation due to their dire financial issues which have ruined their military until recently. Give it another 25+ years for their military to be rebuilt (both in equipment and in trained personnel) and then having a leader who wants to risk losing again etc, and it means its very unlikely to happen, but no impossible.

As for "why" - the Falklands has had lots of oil recently discovered there.
>>
The Argie navy is somehow more pathetic than the Bong navy these days, they have
>2 subs (inop, rusting)
>3 frigates, which they call destroyers (from 1983)
>6 corvettes (1 inop, youngest one is 22 years old at this point)
>5 patrol vessels in the 1,000 GRT range
>9 coastal patrol vessels in the <100 GRT range
I don't know what the Bongs are keeping over at Port Stanley these days but I'm guessing it's not a dozen Royal Marines anymore
>>
>>65104770
Yes we do, its called the US Navy
>>
>>65104764
No. The British military might be in a freefall of poor recruitment and readiness, but the Argentine military is still in the 90s and lack the funds to modernize. Frankly, they're too tied up defending their waters from chink fishing fleets (relatable, desu) to be grabbing more territory.

The Argies aren't exactly in a stronger position than they were the 80s, comparatively.

Despite the utter humiliation and decay the brits are suffering, the argentinians are in an even worse situation. And the first war was a similar (in spirit) situation for the brits. they had been controlled by slow burn communists for decades with steep decline. the question is, will the current government attempt to save its hide by defending its territory? it may be the win herr starmer needs to maintain his grip on power or at least redeem his reputation in the eyes of the jingoist on his way out.

Nobody really gives a shit anymore either way.
>>
The Falklands are more use to Argentina politically as an external distraction for all of their domestic socioeconomic problems.

Say what you will about them, but in the vast majority of cases, they've been smart enough to realize that having a permanent "It's not the fault of us the government that we're a third world country, it's our lack of ownership of these islands that's at fault so don't blame us for your situation!" is far better for them than gaining them and not having them be the miracle solution they've claimed them to be for 50+ years
>>
>>65104764
Isnt their country even more bankrupt this time? Depends if USA is willing to sponsor them against UK (they wont).
>>
>>65104767
Falkland territorial waters contain oil and gas reserves. More importantly for the UK, the islands serve as a strategic, long-range military port near the southern tip of South America. Its a trade route chokepoint that becomes a critical global trade route if the Panama Canal is compromised.

there had been some well probes about the Brits being willing to sell the islands to the argies. the Brits didn't shoot those down straight away because the island cost a lot to maintain
reducing the British military presence to next to nothing
the lax British response to some argies raising their flag on some other abandoned island
all gave the junta the feeling that the British wouldn't fight to get the islands back
due to this assumption they failed to adequately plan to sustain their forces on the islands and garrisoned them mostly with second rate troops

Falklands Island is the most heavily defended island in the world (per square km). So, yes, but with horrendous losses. But Starmer is charge and he's a draconian freedom hating cuck so would probably kneel to Argentina and kiss their boots.

He'd be thrown out of a window if he even talked about giving them up. The party that gives up the Falklands is never getting elected ever again.

Real question is what is the rest of Europe going to do? French have already subtly said they'd side with the British and even send a warship because A) It pisses off orange man and B) It would cuck the British for not being able to defend their own holdings.

This discussion is redundant because Argentina wouldn't be able to land a force.

Out of curiosity, looking it up there's an infantry company, some SAMs (don't know how many), and four RAF Typhoons. Then a few hundred more supporting personnel for that. There's also a civilian reserve militia of a few dozen called the Falkland Islands Defense Force that looks pretty comfy:

Because contrary to the belief of the terminally online and the best wishes and efforts of Chinese & Russian active measures shills, the UK actually *is* the US's top ally and basically the only one that gives them a real return of capability across the board on that partnership.

It's not just the global bases, but extensive intelligence sharing and technological cooperation. Remember how pissed Trump got at the UK preventing US use of Fairford and Diego Garcia at the start of the Iran war? About the lack of UK military naval support? (They have some of the best minehunting capability) The UK MIC is very integrated with that of the US as well. If those connections get degraded it's actually a real blow to US (and by extension the entire western world's) capability.

The UK politicos were likely livid that they weren't even informed that the US & Israel were going in on Iran and so have been making a point of only doing the bare minimum of cooperation to stop Trump using it as an excuse to disband NATO. It fucking sucks to say it but the relationship is probably at its lowest point in decade, Putin is laughing.
>>
>>65105378
It's only the delivery vehicle that is US built. Warheads and integration are still performed by the UK and the capability to land kilotons on target is still totally sovereign. If the US decided to stop maintaining the missiles the UK would have a good while to replace them with an indigenous system before the last of the US built stock needed maintainenace/replacement.
>>
>>65105510
>>65105529
Incorrect. There is no sort of kill switch to prevent the UK from launching them once they are on British subs. The missile stocks are co-mingled to prevent tampering prior to loading as well so they are identical to US missiles. The US does not have kill switches on their own missiles and so neither do the UK missiles.
>>

He is very wrong about them not being allowed to do it though, the channel has right of transit under UNCLOS and the last time I checked we weren't at war with the vatnigs, so no reason to prevent passage.

He said nothing about siezing shadow fleet tankers, which I agree we should just start grabbing when they try and sail through the channel, what are those 'escorts' going to do? The last thing the Russians actually want is a shooting war with NATO, which with their stupid "i'm not touching you" game would mean they'd have to just sit and watch while the tanker got siezed as it's not legally a russian ship after all, why would they care about it getting siezed?

The navy absolutely could have siezed that ship and subsequently turned anything flying a st andrews cross into colanders if they tried anything to stop it, the only thing stopping them was the government making my balls blue.

There is no worth oil. UK immediately went looking for it after 1983, exploration contracts flying everywhere, big spend. Oil booty was probably factored into the entire war stratagem on both sides.

20 years later silence, no production, rigs (all rigs now) pulled out. No oil, some subsea coal and gas, nothing immediately exploitable.

Is Argentina whiter than Britain today?

No new rigs in the North Sea either, because the UK government is going all Green.

Le isole Falklands sono e saranno sempre Britanniche. Qui in Europa nessuno le considera argentine.

>>65106665
Cause I don't speak diego talk I choose to believe this means that the Falklands are going to invade Argentina and turn Argentina into the West Falklands.

There is or was a huge 50x50 km lost island in the Drake Passage, discovered by Drake himself, but just gone afterwards. The largest known "disappeared island", with the possible exception of the mirage canarias island or the unnamed rough island north of the Falklands. These two, while being large, were never measured, nor walked upon, unlike Drakes island.

Its political, f.ex it is forbidden by law to prospect for oil, gas or coal in Sweden.

Argentina was forced to retain the larger part of their top tier troops due to pressure from Chile deploying troops to their borders. Chile also fed UK with intel, did disruptions of communications and stuff like that. Recently a granny from Uruguay revealed that she spied for the Brits, add whatever intel US was sharing and basically the brits had a full CAT Scan of the situation.

Don't know why the Brits don't disband their ownership of the place. It's going to die out within the next decade anyway.

Keeping the islands means the fishing waters around them are protected, its never been properly explored for mineral reserves so it might have some riches to it, and if the UK ever needs or wants to as a satellite relay point.
>>
>>65108048
Once the inhabitants die off, and they 100% will based on current projections, it's going to be fished by the Chinese.

The UK would have to make a depot and port there to support any naval patrols.

Elizabeth Island will be rediscovered when Drake's drum is beaten and from its harbour his flotilla will sail forth

>>65104764
Argentina would get btfo

The Uk is not only a premier world fighting force, it commands global information influence

The head of state of Argentina would immediately have photoshopped versions of his face circulated on social media, like was used to deplatform JD Vance and putler.

If Argentina continued to resist, US tech companies would immediately get letters from London to delete Argentine social media accounts

>>65105208
You say that, but the current leadership in the UK would love a distraction to rally the nation
Funnily enough this whole situation parallels the original very closely, just both sides have degraded more
>>
>>65104764
Trump should lease Argentina some nuclear warheads and launch capable submarines. Just the threat of the Argies having a nuke button to press if they want to would be enough to force the brits into giving up the islands, because the brits understand that Argies are crazy enough to actually nuke them for real.
UK should not be allowed any colonies at all, they have to give up everything in the Indian Ocean and Caribbean to us.

Why can't they just bribe the natives to secede? If they offered them a million each it'd cost 3.6 billion

Even if its navay was on the other side of the planet, has an airbase and permanent garrison on the island and Argentina has zero (0) strike capacities.

The funny thing with Elizabeth Island is that the commonly shown map is drawn with east upwards instead of north. If you rotate the map with north upwards the island geology makes sense, the east side "lagoon" and the inlet is a fjord, caused by ice age glaciation from air being pushed upwards over the central mountain and precipitating on the lee side. Since the winds in this area are from the west to the east this asymmetric glaciation is to be expected.

The common "explanation" of the island sinking beneath the waves is cope, islands this big does not sink like a freshly emerged small volcanic island and there are no known geological mechanisms that can submerge the island including the central mountain in a couple of hundred years. Elizabeth Island was-is only a fraction of the total size of the underwater structure. But it is completely gone.
>>
>>65108086

The Pactolous bank often mentioned as the supposed sunken remnant of Elizabeth Island is, judging by later era soundings and the lack of success in finding it again, a very steep volcano cone that once reached the sea level but was quickly eroded down to a shallow reef. This must have happened during during the ice age when sea levels were 120-125 meters lower than now. This explains the depth of Pactolous soundings (~130 m) as well as the material brought back up (basaltic pebbles) by the tallow in the plummet.

The presence of a volcanic hotspot also explains the discolored water found in the area, as this must have been caused by iron, sulphur and phosphor rich hot water welling up from volcanic activitity, generating a local algae bloom which then floated eastwards with the surface current. Since the crust in the area is moving eastwards, there must be another underwater volcano located to the west of the Pactolous bank which generated this water plume. In other words, the Pactolous found the top of this guyout by a series of related but low probability events.

The warheads also switched over to a US lease system about 8ish years ago. I assume to streamline the tritium refueling but I don't recall if the specifics of why was ever disclosed.

You got one in Canada instead.

yes, because Trump would backstab the UK and force them to 'make a deal'

The fuck? Whale oil?

>all of Argentina's navy is in this photo
Question becomes, why are they all in port (the same port?) at the same time? They float, but can thay sail the open seas?

Yes, that would show them...
