UK reviews Falklands defence as Russia offers Su-24s to Argentina

.
Brits should hand over the island to Argentina who's the principle owner
 
.
IMHO the Falklands will be in Argentinian hands once again during my lifetime. The UK is in decline both militarily and economically and whilst Argentina is hardly in the ascendancy the game is going to change now that the South American giant that is Brazil has officially backed Argentina's claim on the islands. The UK will struggle to take on Brazil in her own backyard today and won't be able to in a decade or so.

I doubt this will be sorted out militarily but once the UK government and people see their claim on the islands are untenable diplomatically some sort of deal will be put together.

UI can tie up with the US in this one

How about cutting the money paid to career single mothers, drug addicts and alcoholics,plus the money we give to corrupt dictators and spending it on our defence?

I already like you
UK's system of giving benefits to useless idiots is costing the country greatly
Time to spend this 'welfare' money on better things

The Falklands will be in UK hands till Argentina gets its economic act together, which looks like a "never" proposition. They keep defaulting on their debt. Russia would be out of their minds to accept Argentine credit, and no one else is going to bankroll that purchase.
 
. .
No doubt that Royal Navy is in bad shape but Argentinean military is in pathetic condition. They are still using equipments of falkland war era like copies of french mirage.

UK should give island to its rightful owner. the days of british empire to enslave poor countries are gone.
 
. . .
still got imperial mentality???? wake up man this is not british empire and we are not your slaves anymore. and dont do chest thumping cause you are on the mercy of USA and NATO.
This has nothing to do with India, don't flatter yourself. And we will not part with what we fought a bloody war to defend, not for you or for anybody.

Proximity has nothing to do with sovereignty.

I said earlier that it would be very difficult to defend the islands with our current naval strength. Hardly "chest thumping".
