the funniest AMERICAN dude of our generation, no cap

FTFY.

The s might be a dessicated husk of a once great empire, but they always had better comedians than you s.

he really isn't funny. never made me laugh. Funniest guy of our generation is Garrison Keillor followed by Jonathan Goldstein.

Argentina doesn't even have a good case for owning it then?

It only took a little baby British helicopter carrier with one of those gay takeoff ramps with Harriers on it to win the last one. (Tbf it was actually really close and if a few rolls of the dice went the other way Argentina would have won.)

The Argentinian military was actually pretty strong then. They had a good air force with modern weapons, the French Super Etendard/Exocet, which unfortunately for them was defective kinda like how the French sold everyone hemophilia drugs infected with literal AIDS at the same time. I'm a hardcore francophile but that was a bad time.

Anyway my point is, Argentina's military capabilities now are minimal. They (rightly) decided not to pay billions of dollars keeping it up the last 40 years. It would take at least a decade to buy new stuff and train guys on it before they could think of even taking on Britain's pathetic remnant of an empire.

A lot of frigates with plenty of anti-naval missiles might work. It would take 5 years tops () to get there, but everyone in the world would notice.

The other problem is maintaining the supply. Assuming they can carry out the amphibious assault with 5k soldiers, they'd need to keep shipping supplies over, but at that point the UK and eventually the US could blockade the islands.

It would be really expensive for them to gain a shitty little set of islands.

Depends on America's appetite for wasting gunpowder on protecting British overseas territory yet again. Sometimes they send a million men to die over it, sometimes they tell the queen they'll dissolve her banking system if she doesn't surrender.

He said it would be unfair to annex the Falklands while Argentina is in its current state.

Based and reasonable-pilled.

It was a paradise of good governance before we got there.

Argentina used cargo planes, more efficient, more lefties per flight

Yeah it sure would be hilarious if a military alliance forced people into wars on the other side of the world they didn't care about

Oh no not the island nation of $11 gallons of milk and fat drug addict abbos on EBT

Yes, it's just protected by the US...

Imagine if we allowed them to ever have a standing military again.

he got touched in mr. robutt

Yes because the part of nato that everyone fears wouldn't by definition be drawn into a war on the US.

"Japan did not have enough of a logistic tail to invade California, let alone Hawaii, let alone Midway."

This sounds like cope by the people in the US military during ww2.

Japan absolutely could have overrun California in 1941. They did not do so, only because it did not fit their strategic goals. If they did so, they would have been counter-attacked by an army lead by Patton.

So here's something that could have happened:

December 1941 or January 1942: Japan conquers the western US as far as Denver. At this point I should point out that I am not a weeb. In fact I do not like Japanese culture. I am an American conservative. I am just skeptical about the whole "Japan did not threaten the west coast" thing.

January 1941: Goerge Patton pushes back with infantry divisions. He pushes the Japanese back into the sea.

January 1942: America institutes its island-hopping campaign, as in real life. America overruns Hawaii and Midway. Japan has ignored northern Australia as in real life. By this time, America has developed nuclear weapons. Tokyo is vaporized by multiple nuclear bombs. Japan surrenders.

Februrary 1941: The American southwest is still recovering from its occupation from a hostile power. There are concentration camps set up by the japanese in places like Phoenix, San Francisco, Deadwood, etc.

March 1941: "B-29's have delivered thousands of nuclear weapons upon Moscow; rendering western uninhabited for millions of years."

2xst century: White people, speaking a form of English, establish a colony on Europa, a moon of Jupiter.
