To you they are because you are small.

>>66901872
Name a single big country with a large population that isn't a shithole.

>>66903112
Portugal.

>>66904214
Portugal is 24m people below the average pop. of a country. It's hardly a highly populated country

>>66901872
>large population
We have 2 thirds of the UK's population

>>66904427
Wow, south Brazil really IS German.

There's actually a lot of oil near the falklands. Or there was since we've taken it all :)

>>66903112
USA

Literally the riches country in the world.

>>66906376
Only nominally friendo, China is higher PPP and several countries are higher per capita

>>66906376
yeah but it's still a shithole

>>66901717
Argentina wouldn't, and couldn't, take British land.

>>66901717
Thanks Panama, we appreciate your support.

They easily could blow your tiny shitty navy out of the water with a few cheap missiles, then the UK has no force projection to anything about it.

Flying some Tornado fighters from St.Helena to Las Malvinas for bombing runs would require them to be refueled 8-10 times if that was possible, you dont have any carriers or whatever.

The British military of 2016 is just a small token force to tag along with American invasions.

Gonna have to stop you there, Paddy.

1. We wouldn't take Tornados to the Falklands that would be dumb as fuck

2. We have an airbase there with 4 Typhoons permanently stationed, artillery, and other shit.

3. It would only take a couple of days to reinforce that squadron with more Typhoons. We also have anti-destroyers, submarines etc which would make short work of their navy and air force.

>>66911450
>anti-destroyers

Obviously I meant to say anti-air destroyers. You know, the cone-head lads.

because we're too white to breed fast

Russia and Brazil have big, but unhelpful lands. They can extract resources, but it's very hard to develop infrastructure.

Some arable land in Brazil, but lots of jungle and mountains. They get lots of rain, but jungle soil is acidic to crops, so it needs lots of work. It's such a pain in the ass to transport crops to their port cities. They can't float it on rivers or use rail. They can't even use 16 wheeler trucks. They have to use smaller trucks because of mountainous terrain.

Russia is even worse. They literally need to drop bombs on their rivers to prevent devastating floods when they thaw. Try to build and maintain roads across their big frozen country that turns to mush in the warm season. You can't without a huge investment, and they're not exactly wealthy.

Argentina actually has some great geography. In terms of fertile flat land located near navigable rivers, they're blessed. They're like a miniature USA. If geography were everything, they would at least be on the level of France or Germany. However, they've been undermining their own potential success with a terrible political environment for decades.

What happens if Argentina destroys the runway and then invades with a force big enough to take out 1,200 men?

>>66912663
>What happens if Argentina destroys the runway

How do they destroy the runway in your scenario? Have you read about the Argentine military lately or is this a fantasy airforce they're using against us?

FYI there's radar all over the Falklands now so whatever comes towards the islands, the Typhoons will scramble, artillery will prep and so on. So you tell us what they'll use to beat the Typhoon patrol and anti-air missiles installed there

>>66912906

A cruise missile strike would knock all that out, then land the paratrooper brigade and bring in some more troops to mop it up. The British garrison would probably surrender after some losses and since they cant be resupplied due to the destroyed runway.

>A cruise missile strike would knock all that out,

Using what missile?
Fired from what, and where?

guys, guys, stop sperging, that's not going to happen, we don't have any army nor the need of spending money and lifes in an unnecessary war, pls.

I'm just saying its very possible and easy if they wanted to

>>66913457
It's in their constitution that the islands belong to Argentina. If it's so easy why haven't they done it yet?

Can you at least give the name of these cruise missiles Argentina has? Are they land-based or what?
