The move comes in the wake of Sir Keir Starmer’s humiliating surrender of the Chagos Islands to Mauritius which has emboldened the Buenos Aires regime, with Argentina’s foreign minister Diana Mondino boasting: “We will recover the full sovereignty of Las Malvinas.”

Back in 1982, the Argentina military govt led by Leopoldo Galtieri, underestimated the response of Britain to the invasion. They believed that the UK would be reluctant to engage in a war so far away, but the Argentine govt was facing internal divisions and declining public support. This contributed to a weakened morale and a lack of cohesion among the Argentine forces.

The British Royal Navy had a significant advantage in terms of naval power in 1982. Their task force was well-equipped and experienced. The Sea Harrier jets that were based on the British aircraft carrier provided crucial air cover against the Argentine air defences and protected the British ground forces.

It seems like history repeating itself from 1982 when the Argentine economy was in crisis, with high inflation and unemployment. The military govt hoped that a successful military campaign would divert public attention from these domestic problems. This govt believes that retaking the islands would boost national morale and unite the country once again. Have the Argentine leaders not learned anything from 42 years ago?

If Argentina invades the Falklands for the 2nd time, then Britain should conquer the Latin American nation once and for all to teach them a painful lesson.

When D Company, 7th Gurkha Rifles began their final attack, they found that the Argentinian soldiers had all fled. They were convinced by both British and Argentine propaganda that the Gurkhas were sword wielding monsters who cut off their enemies' heads and then held the severed head by the hair and cut off the ears. The only Gurkha fatality occurred after the war was over, when a Lance Corporal struck an unexploded grenade with his spade. As the British commandant wrote: "If we can win wars by our reputation, who wants to kill people?"

Last time UK took Argentina easily with US help.

Argentine propaganda during the Falklands War actually demoralised their own soldiers. Journalist Alfredo "Tico" Meli inadvertently fuelled widespread fear among Argentine troops. Upon hearing news of Gurkha reinforcements, he concocted a fictional tale of a battalion of fearsome, 1/2 metre blade-wielding fighters, the "Cuchilleros Correntinos". Meli's story, disseminated through a news agency, was widely believed. It painted a terrifying image of the Gurkhas as monstrous, invincible warriors, instilling fear and anxiety among Argentine soldiers. This psychological warfare tactic, while effective in the short term, ultimately proved counterproductive. The portrayal of the Gurkhas led to excessive caution and fear among Argentine troops, potentially hindering their effectiveness in combat.

The Argentine soldiers fighting in the Falklands were fearful of the Gurkhas. Tales circulated among the troops, painting the Gurkhas as ferocious, invincible warriors. A soldier described a harrowing encounter with 2 fellow soldiers who had barricaded themselves in a house, convinced they were being hunted by Gurkhas. The men, overwhelmed by fear, claimed to have witnessed the Gurkhas' gruesome attacks, including soldiers continuing to fight despite losing limbs. Their fear led them to believe the impossible.The Gurkhas' reputation for fearsome prowess was further cemented by a cruel prank played by British paratroopers. They told Argentine prisoners that a smiling Gurkha was a sign of impending danger. The resulting fear and confusion among the prisoners was a testament to the power of these tales.
