Falkland Islands?

Tweet

So Trump and Denmark have been helping Argentina to re-arm. We know Trump loves to start wars so one of the countries involved and the ones in and around those wars need American arms to survive. It's a tried and tested sales pitch. Look at the Ukraine, Europe forced to spend billions buying US kit to defend against Putin in a war the US encouraged. We now see a memo floating around the White House that the US may not recognise the U.K's ownership of the Falkland Islands, one of our last empire outposts. To be fair it has no strategic use and we should have shared the ownership back then and avoided war. There maybe some oil there but so far away and too expensive to really drill without Argentina on side and thats so not going to happen now. Again, we could have shared oil exploration back then. We beat them in that 1980s spectacular war and it remains a burning issue - and vote winner - in Argie politics. So Trump, the guy who said he may buy or invade Greenland, may let Argentina invade the Falklands because we and NATO are not helping him much on Iran. He is yet to understand that NATO is not designed to start wars but defend countries in NATO when attacked. The irony of Denmark, that protect Greenland ,and so NATO protect them both, would then sell kit to Argentina to invade the Falklands is madness. But we know Trump loves that chaos. Trump also lectured us on leasing the Chagos islands to Mauritius, that included the Diego Garcia joint US/UK base outpost, and said it was a dumb deal to give away the islands yet won't help us to keep the Falklands? As I say he loves chaos in his allies as much as his enemies. Clearly the U.K would struggle to defend a re armed Argentina attack on The Falklands. Our Navy is a quarter of what it was in the 1980s. It would take three months to get there so a retake the islands exercise once again. We have a small Navy presence there gathering rust and an airstrip with four fighter planes and bits n bobs. But our fueler fleet has left to help out in Iran theatre. With tacit US support to Argentina we would lose. I dont think Trump would spite us by doing this but you cant discount that anymore.
