The Falklands "sabre rattling" seems to be intensifying as a result of Argentina getting 32 heads of states from other countries including Chile/Venezuela/Brazil to back them. Strange how the Argentinans (following 1982) have only just started showing an interest since oil exploration has ramped up in the Falklands area.
I don't see this kicking off military wise, I do not think either the Argentinians have the stomach or resources for war, and lets face it the UK forces is stretched so far helping the US in other areas Iraq/Afghanistan - we not exactly is a good state either for another front?
One of my earliest childhood memories was watching breakfast tv, when it was announced we were going to war with Argentina, I can not see it going this way again. I think will be along the lines of more protracted diplomatic confrontations, maybe a sharing agreement with them.
Can anyone actually envisage another actual military Falklands war?
