Red Line Entry
There`s not a chance that the argentinean government could mount a military action against the british military garrison in the islands. There`s no political will to do so, there`s no military capacity to garantee a quick, swift victory, there`s no a single political party that speaks out loud about the need to solve the Malvinas issue by force.
There is a strong sentiment towards Malvinas but it doesn`t necessarily mean that argentineans demand military action to expel the british. It wasn`t like that back in 1982 and it`s not like that nowadays.
Barnstormer,
The SU24 story DID NOT ORIGINATE in Argentina. It was another one of those Sun Headlines. The buttom line of the supposed deal was so fantastic and unreal that I just can`t believe that serious informed people still believe it to be true.
In case you did not know when Argentina decided to get some russian equipment, payments were cashed in hard currency. Cows are no longer something that mean big economic revenues for the local economy not to mention that they are barely enough to deal with the local-yearly demand of meat for human consumption.
