Re: Argies upto no good again !!!
I don't believe a full scale Military offensive is likely or feasible, the Argentine Politicians much like our own are full of "Wee & Wind" & while they might make the appropriate noises they haven't got the bottle or backing to take another humiliating arse kicking, it may be twenty odd years ago since the last effort, but it has been a thorn in the side of the Politicians & some of their more Nationalistic citizens ever since & will continue to be.
Should they be stupid enough to even attempt something they won't find an undefended & unprepared populace as it was back in 82, as the FIDF, is in place & ready to face off against anyone foolish enough to attempt anything. While not large in numbers about 1,500 are present & their purpose is to hold & defend (Bridgehead) until a fighting force can be transported & brought into position to defend & repel.
Much as Tealeaf stated the only real thing the Argies will do to cause problems & interference will be to apply sanctions although this won't really have an effect on the Islands, & cause all kinds of economic hurdles for shipping in the area, like a bully who knows he can't win they'll resolve to niggling & petty troublemaking causing quite some irritation, but nothing substantive.
