George..... Argentina were not defending their land, the military junta was trying to distract their population from the mess they had made of Argentina's economy and the abduction and murder of civilians. Up until then the people hated the junta, but when they turned on the Falkland islanders, they sang their praises in the streets.......true hypocrisy.

@@baltii41 Read on the history of the Falklands and then come back

yes that what most brits believe too, that the junta needed something to win the argentines trust again as things were falling apart for them and they thought a little win would do that, not thinking the british would care that much over a rocky island miles from home, unfortunately in britain maggie thatcher was going thru pretty much the same problems, the public were turning on her, an outside enemy took the heat off her and made her look strong and it worked, the iron lady stepped up when advisors were begging her not to go to war. (apart from football of course, cos you fuckers keep beating us!ha) most brits have nothing against argentines, good luck to the people, also argentine Marcelo Bielsa is a hero in my city of leeds, we even have murals and streets named after him

Thanks for your honestly. As far as we see it (I’m from the UK) the falklands people want to be British and have continuously democratically voted as such That’s it, end of story. Therefore we defend them the same as any other British people. If they were to democratically vote that they wanted to be part of Argentina, then I would support handing the islands back.

I mean, it' was never Argentina's to lose, but hey....

Argentinean here, I would not say its a lost territory because it was never ours to begin with. Maybe at some point, but Im more likely to blame our ancestors for loosing it that anybody in our current timeline.

Oil has been found so if it happens again 100% the US would intervene

What allies? The US is currently helping the German empire take Belfast and Kiev. They'd probably send the argies rockets.

Doubtful. Feels like taking the Falklands back would be much simpler these days with modern weaponry available anyway, you'd send a carrier group down, get pretty much immediate air superiority then start playing with toys like the Reaper - surveillance and targetting would be so much simpler, you wouldn't be so worried about anti-ship missiles etc. And that's predicated on Argentina being relatively as capable as they were as a fighting force; which of course they aren't.

@@Pemmont107 well, indeed, the Type 45 is of course a direct reaction to the Falklands invasion. Anti-ship missile defence is so much better than it was back then and the F-35 as a weapons delivery platform is utterly unparalleled. Also one of the major differences between British forces then and now (which is no fault of the guys back then) are far more match fit, there's a lot of experience of directly fighting a particularly nasty enemy and not just that but doing things like long distance bombing campaigns with by the way far more accurate and capable weaponry.

Agreed and would just like to add my own comments. Our forces are in a completely different state now. Some will tell you a worse state but don't listen to that nonsense. We've learned a huge amount since then, numerous conflicts across various theatres. The equipment we have now is simply on another level: Type 45 were built as a direct lesson from 1982. 1 ship alone could literally do what double the amount of destroyers & frigates did back then. Even the yanks are more comfortable when one is part of their carrier groups. Starstreak and Sky Saber are also game changers and a half dozen each of these would cover most of the east Falklands. Even the US Air Force would have trouble with these. F35 and ASRAAM would have zero issues taking out the Argentine air force. None of this even takes into account the incredible communication/satellite systems, the training and equipment our soldiers now have. The Argentine forces would be as well going up against an advanced alien force the difference would be so big.

The FI are British but not part of U.K.

I think the video makes that very clear; the FIDF commander talked about their local knowledge.

If, Heaven forbid, they are ever called into a real situation, you can bet they'll fight every bit as hard as Royal Marines and Paras (to name but 2).

I doubt the Argentinians coule manage another invasion - their military is a shadow of what it was in the 80s. Their airforce has handful of D grade fighters that are just upgrades of the original Skyhawks they had. Their Navy is a collection of relics from the 90s, stretching back to the 40s. Their only real surface combatants are from the 80s. They have no carriers, so their naval aviation is a handful of prop aircraft and helicopters for transport and recon only. Argentina couldn't invade South Georgia unopposed, let alone try to attack the Falklands again. If the RAF combat air wing of just 4 Tornadoes sounds ridiculous, its because they're facing down a few helicopters, some propeller driven trainers and a tinpot collection of 1980's rebuilt USMC A4 Skyhawks. Its just no competition whatsoever. While the UK learned and grew from the lessons in the Falklands, the Argentinian military never recovered.

The Argies would be outnumbered 40,000 to 40. A sure loose for the Argies.

It was an excellent rifle, and I think it made the Falklands defense force more unique.

🇫🇰 is the sovereign flag of The Falkland Islands. That is the flag they are ‘under’.

They are an overseas territory. But that still makes them a nation in the British context. The British family of nations is a term often used to describe the relationship with the overseas territories. They are autonomous except in the areas of foreign affairs and defence, if I am not mistaken. They have different internet domains, sports teams and governments. Britishness is always part of a dual identity. English and British, Scottish and British, Gibraltarian and British etc… In the US for example Puerto Rico, as a territory also enjoys a type of nationhood. It’s own sport teams for example. Or even states like Hawaii with their own national surfing team.

@@albiemayo457 Yes but Puerto Rico and Hawaii are different. Puerto Rico has a governor that still has to abide by the President of the United States, Puerto Rico has to have a constitution modeled after the United States Constitution, and have their government like the mainland. In certain cases, residents do have to pay federal income taxes, which are paid to the federal government back in Washington DC. Puerto Rico has a representative in the US House of Representatives, but unfortunately they cannot vote. This is different from the British overseas territories. Hawaii is a full fledged state of the United States, they’re under the jurisdiction of the federal government, have to abide by federal laws and regulations, have to pay federal taxes, and have to go by the mainland. Both residents of Puerto Rico and Hawaii are US citizens by birth, while Puerto Rico is second class, due to no representation and voting rights, and more, while Hawaii is fully represented in Congress, has the right to vote for the President, and has to go by federal laws and rulings, which is completely different from a British overseas territory.
