The best form of defence is offence, so a good defence would be to give the Argentinians something to really fear. The best, and easiest idea, is a blockade until they give the islands back. That doesn’t mean blocking all traffic, just declare all shipping to/from Argentina within a certain distance of Argentina as a target, and start sinking a couple, the insurance costs alone will do 90% of the job for us. Maybe mix in special forces raids on some of their most important infrastructure. Another idea could be to start taking out their power stations, once their population starts to suffer they’ll soon see the error of occupying our territory. Hydroelectric ones are an ideal target, and they have 12 for us to destroy. When the Argentine civilians start seeing consequences of their government actions against us, they will soon decide that the Islands aren’t worth it.
They could be used for attacking the Falklands, reality is though, they’ll end up using them for peacekeeping and in natural disasters, both of which are really in our interests.
Or a transport plane full of marines, paras or the like with heavy weapons and another with food and ammo. As is, the current base set up means the Argentines will pay a very big price in military lives in launching an attack on the Islands.
I love statements like that. Those “brave heart” guys who wish to demolish civilian infrastructure and kill civilians will be the first to scream “terrorists!” just in case Iranian sabotage teams performing similar activities, as asymmetrical retaliatory strikes, in the country of the “brave heart” guys. That’s the good-old double-standard.
Anyway, be careful. If the USA and satellite countries start to attack Iran you may be lucky and face likely sabotage operations like that in Europe.
