The British Navy is a lot smaller than it was in the early 80s during the cold war even though they say they keep a sub on station in the area.
The British forces there are nothing but a speed bump if the Argies got serious about another sneak invasion. The Brits would have to mount another campaign to take it back or take the issue to the UN.
Does anyone think the UN would tell the Argies to go home?
Do you think the Brits have the military might and political will to mount another campaign for the islands?
British Navy
Subs.............1980 32 - 2009 12
A/C................1980 3...- 2009 3
Sur. Combat..1980 67 - 2009 24
Lots of logistical issues for both sides.
