Britain Can Do 'Nothing' To Prevent Argentina Retaking Falkland Islands -- The Telegraph

The head of the Naval task force in the Falklands War has warned that defence cuts mean Britain can now do "precisely nothing" to prevent Argentina retaking the islands.

My Comment: Adml Woodward is stating the obvious .... a point that I am sure that Argentina is already aware of.

On a side note, the Brits are now realizing that Argentina is more important to U.S. interests in Latin America than Great Britain .... hence the U.S. support for Argentine claims to the Falklands. Any bets on when Israel will also come to the same conclusion (if not already), that the Arab world is infinitely more important to U.S. interests than the state of Israel.
