What a lot of nonsense. Firstly, Argentina has no legitimate claim on the Falklands. Secondly, America would not help us officially in a conflict over the Falklands just like last time. Thirdly, we would not surrender the Falklands or lose a fight with Argentina simply because our naval capacity is seemingly reduced. Of course if Jeremy Corbyn and his rag tag band of lefty loons got into power (which they won't)we might offer them Scotland as well as surrender. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (30 Mar 2016 1.02pm)

The only people with any real and meaningful claim over the Falklands are the people who live there. They had their say. Everyone else, is wrong. Finally our naval capacity might be less, but the Argentine military capacity is monumentally less. Turns out, Military Juntas spend most of their money on defence, and that's why they end up invading places like the Falklands, to distract from their domestic policy failures.

They are right, the report was clear in the issues of disputed sovereignty. It does not apply. The report was linked in the original article.
