During the first go we were going to give you a Carrier (probably one of the Iwo Jima Class LHA's) but the RN realized they could not man it and such support would have caused the USA lots of problems with the South American governments less Chile.

The sad truth I think is the British Military has been cut back to the point there is no realistic way to ward off an Argie takeover of the Malvinas by force.

I doubt they really want to try again and are just rattling some sabers about the place making some noise. As long as they have Jughead from Venezula in the mix.....who knows what could happen?

He has been cozying up to the Russians, Chinese, and Cubans of late. Maybe he has seen the way our two countries have declined in both capability and national leadership and thinks the time is right to start acting up.

We have the forces and ability to handle that militarily....but politically is another story with Barry Boy at the helm.
