Truss says Falklands part of ‘British family’ after China backs Argentina

[Invicta]

Who cares. We just want to support Argentina and sell them weapon,build infrastructure for them. As for how and could they actually take the island back is not our concern at least for now. But if the relationship between china and UK get worse,then we might do something more for them.

Your fellow countrymen, they are obsessed with UK.

Have you missed the point again or did u feel the need to just say something.
People of Gilgit and Northern area are white. They consider themselves white....and your point being?


No we don't. The moment nations stop is the moment this useless organisation stops being relevant

Yeah, but when China stands up for Pakistan in the United Nation Security Council, then United Nations becomes something prestigious.

British colonialism must be crushed in all its forms. Malvinas is Argentina.

Wow.. that was a sneak development. A UK vs China in Argentina has started. But is Argentina even willing to take that position? I doubt they are in a mood to start sending Argentine Marines in Malvinas/Falklands any time soon. UK is thousands of KM away but Argentinian military is not powerful enough to just sweep aside the British military presence on the islands and wade off a US sanction.

Also they forget that with current international treaties if China or any other country was to arm Argentina, it will take more than a decade for them to come up to a standard to pose any meaningful threat, Argentina AF and Army used to be good they had decent exposure and equipment at their disposal. Years of financial ruin has dented this and it will take time to recover, Argentina cannot sustain such a rampant increase in military spend so China will have to bankroll them.

A few expensive toys will not do much, specially when the other country - in this case UK can actually hit mainland Argentina without being anywhere near Falklands.

i don't think china or argentina or any country really, expects argentina to be able to take on the british anytime soon. like you say, it would take decades and a lot of money that they dont have to build up a military to challenge the royal navy/air force.

however that doesn't mean they cant be a annoyance and spread the already thin british navy even thinner.

in the same way that no one expects the royal navy to survive in a shooting war against the PLA in the SCS. but they still go there to annoy the chinese.

No requirement for the RN to even be anywhere near the Falklands to deter the Argentines from even think of trying another invasion.

500 UK troops, SAMs and the Eurofighters on the islands are more than enough to deter the Argentines.

The Falklands have the infrastructure to take dozens of fighters and thousands of extra troops within 48 hours if required.

i dont think so.
Again, nobody thinks the Argentinians will be able to successfully take islands, not without years of build up and billions that they don't have.

but you still have to track and following any movements by the Argentinians. this will take ships and fatigue the airframes over time all adding to the british military burden. and every little bit of effort the british exert somewhere else is less effort they can spend to annoy china.

and its pretty standard practice. every time china send even a single frigate into the sea of japan, the japanese surveillance planes scramble and they assign at least one ship to follow, every time a single russian bear bomber goes around the british islands, nato escorts them.
that single frigate has no chance of invading japan or even doing a whole lot of damage nor does a single bear bomber pose much of a threat(yes i know they can be nuclear armed, but regardless that single bomber isnt going survive british defenses) but japan still cannot allow it to roam freely and un-tracked just as nato must escort the russian bomber.

a few potentially unfriendly ships around means they'll have to have their ships follow, stretching their already limited fleet, a few jets flying near the airspace means those Eurofighters will be spent all the quicker. all this is good for china, especially since china isnt even paying for it, it's in fact profiting from the sales, literally no down side for china.

Exactly no need to panic mate. I wonder why that lady is so panicky. Maybe one day a Chinese CBG can visit Argentina and passby and do a freedom of navigation patrol. Lol

For the record I thought it was very analytical.
