This is because their economy is a shambles. If Milei releases the economy, restores rights, ****cans all the social ministries, and avoids the temptation to divert $ to his own retirement, then they will be able to afford to fix their military.Wow it is bad. I just looked at the state of the Argentine armed forces.
They have no active Submarines, The old Carrier they had is a distant memory.
They have 3 destroyers. A few small frigates. The only amphibious ship is an older converted destroyer.. which hasn't sailed in years. All the ships are in a low state of readiness due to budget.
They still maintain a "notational" Fleet air arm (even without a carrier), but its limited to a few King Airs..
The infamous Super Etentards are all non operational.
The country lacks any and all modern combat jets.. still using A-4s left over from the last war.
The Army is the strongest force.. its not terrible. But there really isn't any means to get them to the islands.
Still, its clear that Argentina poses zero threat to anything the UK has. The Argentine armed forces are a mere shell of there former selves, outside maybe the Army.
Particularly since the UK keeps a lot more armed forces already in the Falklands then pre 1982.
Likely the UK wouldn't even need to send an expeditionary force like in 1982.. what is there is more then a match then what the Argentines have left.
That's a strong sticking point.Britian has stated before they would be amenable to negotiating if popular sentiment of Falkland Island citizens was to turn in that direction. Of course, with Argentina's difficult challenges, the status quo is the strong preference.
Not quite. While any fiat currency is fiat currency (with all the trouble and devaluation that brings), there are immense relative differences. We complain about 10% inflation while they have > 100% inflation. If Milei is successful in making the US Dollar the official currency of Argentina, it will cause some short term pain but some immense long-term benefits. It has the potential to turn their economy around. The life savings of most middle-class Argentinians is literally stacks of $100 bills in safe deposit boxes and hidden locations.So moving from a currency in ashes to one on fire.
I have friends in Argentina. There is a thread of Argentina gun laws by me on INGO.Argentine President Milei Approves of Right to Keep and Bear Arms
Newly elected President Milei of Argentina is in favor of an unrestricted right to keep and bear arms. He is unlikely to pass reform of Argentina's restrictive gun laws very soon.www.ammoland.com

I was just in Argentina earlier this month and have friends there. They are cautiously optimistic about Javier Milei.
