CALM DOWN dear, its only a spot of tubthumping!
Argentina can not even repeat the invasion of 1982
they have no aircraft carrier to use as an LPH and they have no landing ship, both have been cut up for razor blades with no replacement
their fast air consists of 1950's vintage Mirage 3/5's, etandards and skyhawks with limited upgrades and no BVR capability their only AAR is the same 2 KC130's as last time
The Argentine government has a pathlogical distrust of their own armed forces and thus refuse to consider a military solution and refuse to give their armed forces the kit to do the job
As an aside the US's position is entirely reasonable. Why take sides in a dispute that is currently handbags at 50 paces
to quote Ronald Regan
"While we have a policy of neutrality on the sovereignty issue, we will not be neutral on the issue involving Argentine use of military force."
