The Red Line podcast tried to do an episode about this today but it was really boring because everyone just said Argentina no longer has any military power.
Which is pretty amazing when you think about it. In 1982 they came very close to winning a war against Britain and now they're no threat.

This is what I've heard from British guys who were involved. If a few more exocet missiles had hit it would have all been off. Iirc where it really came close is they were down to one ship left that had CH-47s (which they so charmingly call the "chin ook" because they can't pronounce anything the French way !pnw) and if that one got hit they would have had to abort the whole operation.
The public perception of this stuff reminds me of Mitsuo Fuchida talking about the old timers in the Japanese navy. They tried to explain to the kids that when they fought the Chinese and Russians it wasn't easy like propaganda suggested. They were really lucky and a few shells landing in a different place would have meant a totally different outcome. But the zoomers didn't listen and started ww2 and ultimately are responsible for anime.

I suppose you could make the assumption that the UK would just back down but I think that's unlikely. It's possible they would have involved their allies more. There were actual British people living on the Falklands and they wanted to remain w/ the UK after all.

I don't know (nor do I care about) the specifics of that conflict but I can't imagine the UK used much of its military power to fight for that dumb rock.

It turns out, a rightoid military junta gets more funding for the military than a social democratic government. Who knew?

They had a good window when angloids had no carriers a few years back, without carriers there's no way they could've mounted an expedition.

On the other hand they've got no carriers and the British at least keep a few planes down there today. If they fought each other now it would basically be a bumfight.
