With lots of jobs and an aging population it sounds like they could do with an influx of ultra loyal unemployed young British people. I wonder where you might find such people?

well its just a bit of sabre rattling at the moment but its starting to warm up nicely. firstly the brits have shown their hand in round one  i reckon the argies would give the brits a run for their money(oil) this time

This shows how little you know. Prior to the Falklands the UK had only a handful of troops and local militia. The UK had downgraded its Navy. Argentina had a large army, with advanced fighters for that time and top of the range French anti-ship missles. Today the UK has a significant garrison, Eurofighter Typhoons, transport planes and attack choppers. The UK have significantly upgraded their Navy, Argentina has downgraded theirs. Argentina's airforce has gone from one of the best in South America to mid-table at best. Due to both Argentinian disinterested in upgrading their airforce and UK/USA making it difficult for them to buy advanced US/European/Russian/Chinese/Indian etc. advanced aircraft.

If anything is closer than we would imagine, it was Falklands War. Had the Argentinans managed to united both their naval groups, they would have gave the Brits one hell of a kicking, but they did not manage this and the war ended as it did.

since when did the brits not have an army..? or a navy? i worked in germany in the 80s and 90s the brits had troops by the thousand stationed there not to mention the thousands they had here or the odd 20 or 30 thousand they had at home. well trained harden soldiers not teenage conscripts. i fail to see how the brits or the yanks could prevent the argentinians buying any armaments they need from russia or china. if you have the money you could buy any military stuff you need ask president hassan of syria.

"if anything is closer than we would imagine, it was  the falklands war" is there some drink left over after the holidays?

You clearly haven't a clue what you are talking about, you never do really. It is quite easy for certain countries to prevent weapons being sold to certain countries. I don't see very few new fighter planes in Cuba. Syria has had several shipments of Russian attack choppers stopped by countries such as the UK and Turkey and sent back to Russia. I would love to see how 1980s and earlier Argentinian fighters based in mainland South America will do against Eurofighter Typhoons.

The British had to use commercial ships to transport their soldiers and planes, this was due to FACT the reduction in capacity of the Royal Navy at the time. Thousands of troops in Germany is pretty useless in a battle on the Falkland Islands.

This islands in the 1980's were defended by a handfull of British regulars and local farmers who were little more than Dads Army, they have been replaced by a proper regular army garrison.

By the way the Falkland conflict was not as cut and dry British victory as the victor propeganda tells. If you ever looked into the actual conflict bar spouting shite you would know this.

Now if Brazil were to take a crack, I would actually give them a huge chance.

Last time the Argentinians gave the Brits (Spanish & Brazilians too) a good kicking was when a Mayoman led them.
