PN.....At what point does the presumed lack of capability by the other side....cause a tipping point in which conflict kicks off? Does a full and total occupation of the Falklands have to occur to meet the political needs of the Argies?

If they did effect a sizable landing but not go after the British Forces in totality, ignored the Airfield....but maintained a well defended enclave....would it force the Brits to make parley.....or make War again?

Could the Brits rely upon the Obama Administration to be as friendly as was the Reagan Administration? Would Obama risk alienating South American interests by standing by a traditional Ally?

His track record on that is spotty at best.
