Uh, what? Not sure if you kept up with current events, but the Red Army is considerably smaller than when that was a daily concern during the cold war.

Hempy:
Given the support shown to the Yanks (ops Telic, Herrick et. al.), even IF the Argies were prepared to bankrupt themselves for a crappy piece of dirt that really means nothing to anyone bar 'national pride', and even IF the UK couldn't meet said threat with superior force, surely good friends from across the ditch would step in and lend a hand. Wouldn't they?
That's a puzzle to me, and I think I'd bet the under given President Obama's well displayed ambivalence towards the UK.
