@Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 Their president has said they will only be able to get them through diplomacy they know they can't take them never mind hold them.
English

I dont know if they'll make a move. Hopefully not.
My main point is if they do, they UK isnt prepared. So the UK should prepare.
Yes, they can make that many drones. ARG is far more wealthy and industrialized than Iran. They could produce hundreds per month at a minimum. Israel is 400 miles from Iran and still subject to drone attacks.
English

@Coriolanus9000 @callum_rainford @WarMonitor3 Are you saying the US will go to war over the Falklands? 🤣
English

@droppingwell1 @callum_rainford @WarMonitor3 How big is the US navy? Have they opened the strait of Hormuz?
Those 15-20 UK ships have to cover all British territory, not just the Falklands. At least a third of them are currently in refit (inactive). Mine sweepers arent going to help you in the South Atlantic.
English

@droppingwell1 @WarMonitor3 That sounds optimistic based on recent optics. However, let us hope your observations are correct.

@PupsDillinger @JoshUTM2004 @British_Enjoyer @PolitlcsUK @Reuters Battle of Britain was already won in 1940 before the US turned up the Germans were never going to take us after that. So no.
English

🚨 NEW: The US is considering a review of its stance on the Falkland Islands as punishment for the UK not supporting the war on Iran

English

@Dont_drink_it @British_Enjoyer @PolitlcsUK @Reuters Out of interest how has Argentina been helping the US in the Iran war to get this new support?
English

@British_Enjoyer @PolitlcsUK @Reuters Your PM and our president just hate each other. It's just noise and it will pass. Behind the scenes we are still close allies. 🇺🇸🇬🇧
English

@British_Enjoyer @JoshSmith1979T @PolitlcsUK @Reuters Trump literally removed a massive threat to the UK and UK was nowhere to be seen.
The fact that the U.S. can decide the fate of falklands suggests that we were never in control.
🤷
English

@PolitlcsUK @Reuters How have Argentina helped the US in the Iran war to get this support ?
English

Argentina needs to seize the Falklands. Islas Malvinas.

NEW: Javier Milei declares the Falkland Islands — currently under UK control — “were, are, and will always be Argentine.”
English


@Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 They arent talking, the US have raised this. The Argentine president knows he couldn't take them never mind hold them. The Falklands are over 300 miles from Argentina do they have that many medium/long range drones?
English

I'm not saying the British garrison is nothing, British troops are great.
But the Argentines are definitely tempted, otherwise they wouldnt be talking.
A dedicated drone campaign by ARG, like in Ukraine or Hormuz, would exhaust the entire British AA stockpile in weeks. It would exhaust the local garrison stockpile in days. The position is not at all viable with current UK readiness rates.
English

@droppingwell1 @Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 Fact is there is still only 1 little ship protecting it, I dont know what Argentina has navy wise but Im sure its more than enough to overwhelm whats there and then we'd have to wait weeks for government meetings before we even think about sending more ships.
English

@Coriolanus9000 @callum_rainford @WarMonitor3 First time we had to recover the islands this time we won't we will be defending them its far easier.
English

@callum_rainford @droppingwell1 @WarMonitor3 Yes, and anti shipping drone and missile tech have proliferated. The UK has certain advantages such as F35s. But it wont be easier than the first time. It will be harder.
English

@Coriolanus9000 @WarMonitor3 The Argies arent tempted, they have said it would have to be diplomatic. The current garrison has AA & anti ship missiles and is backed by Typhoons. Argentina wouldn't be able to take them in the first place now. It would be a totally different war this time.
English

Love the UK. Don't support Argentina making moves, but we live in the real world. The idea that it is the USA's responsibility to protect British island holdings is absurd.
No one other than the UK is stopping the UK from deploying a task force the Falklands to defend it.
The only reason Argentina is feeling tempted to move is because the UK has no credible deterrence. They dont believe the UK is even capable of doing anything about it. Not because the have a handful of 20th century jets.
English

@tracks1982 @WarMonitor3 Yes of course but in a time of war they wouldn't be in for routine maintenance or fit outs. The UK subs would be hunting their Destroyers from day 1 and they would go the same was as their US made Cruiser did in 1982.
English

@droppingwell1 @WarMonitor3 Thats total numbers, not operational. lol...that ship of the line is going to come in handy.
English

@Poison_tears91 @Madmechanic911 @Alexarmstrong It would be totally different and I dont like Starmer.
This issue has arisen due to the US saying we have not helped on Iran despite 70% of your bomber force flying unrestricted from UK bases.
So how have Argentina been helping the US in Iran to get this new support?
English

@Madmechanic911 @Alexarmstrong You’d think that but yet, a British ship was just fired on by Iran and he sat on his hands and British sovereign land was targeted by Iranian missiles and he also sat on his hands. So I’d be SHOCKED if that would be any different.
English

@souberious @Alexarmstrong There is a full garrison with AA and anti ship missiles backed up with Typhoons. We won't need to "get them back" as the Argies dont have enough to take them.

English

@Alexarmstrong And how are you going to get them back with your Barney Rubble military 🪖 🤔? 😂🤣😂
English

@ComputerSageJAB @LabourfutureUK This has been raised due to the UK apparently not helping the US in Iran, despite 70% of your Bomber force flying unrestricted from the UK so a genuine question. How has Argentina being helping in Iran to get this support?
English

@LabourfutureUK Russian troops died to get Crimea and donbass. Does that mean it is theirs or is it okay to let them vote for self-determination?
The Falkland’s is an Argentinian and uk issue. Both are U.s. allies. Of course over time issues should be resolved-evaluated.
English

President Trump has threatened to review the United States position in relation to British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.
The Falklands are British. Troops died to keep them British against the Argentine.
No US review will change anything.

@mikedinslc @WarMonitor3 Just out of interest how has Argentina helped the US in Iran to get this support?
English

@Andrewgood32449 @WarMonitor3 But not as much as Argentina. This time there is a full garrison with AA and anti ship missiles and Typhoons already there. They wouldn't be able to take it in the first place.
English

@WarMonitor3 The only problem is the UK has declined a lot since that especially the military
English

@Dovidcc @LondonFallen65 @WarMonitor3 Yes but this time there is a garrison backed with anti aircraft and anti ship weapons and Typhoons. The Argies wouldn't be able to take it in the first place. If they did then...

English

Well. It’s a lot closer to the Falklands and its own logistics than the 8000 miles away Britain is. Britains aircraft carrier’s suffer propeller shaft failures causing break downs. And only one is operational at any given time. Britain only has 2 of 6 destroyers operational and one of those (HMS Duncan) can’t be sent into warm waters cause it suffers unreliable propulsion issues in hotter waters. Argentina has one more destroyer than Britain in operation and has 24 F-16 fighters So I give Argentina better than even money in a military conflict today. For sure.
