Britain is now militarily incapable of defending the Falkland Islands, a leading Argentinian international relations expert has warned, declaring its power “practically nonexistent” and reigniting concerns over the UK’s ability to protect its overseas territories.
Carlos Perez Llana, former Argentine ambassador to France and a respected academic, delivered the stark verdict while analyzing Europe’s faltering role in the escalating Middle East crisis involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Speaking on the Argentinian current affairs program Modo Fontevecchia, broadcast on Net TV and Radio Perfil, Mr Perez Llana said: “It’s plausible to think that today Great Britain couldn’t defend the Falkland Islands.”
~Snip~
He contrasted Britain’s weakness with France’s strength amid the current global crises. He told viewers: “In Europe, from a defense standpoint, from a military standpoint, if we add the drama of Ukraine to the drama linked to the current situation, the only country capable of flexing its defense and geopolitical muscle is France.” France has deployed the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to Cyprus, while Britain has failed to send its fleet even to protect a British base on the island.
~Snip~
While dismissing the idea that Iran wants to “Europeanize” the Middle East conflict, the expert highlighted the strategic importance of global chokepoints such as the Strait of Hormuz, where any disruption could send oil prices soaring.
His assessment has thrust the Falklands back into the spotlight and sharpened debate in Britain over whether current defence spending and capabilities are sufficient to safeguard distant territories in an increasingly volatile world.



Commentary:
The UK has no idea how to stop them! Prime Minister Starmer will then sign the Falklands over to Argentina and pay you for the next 100 years to look after the sheep!
The Falklands may be more British than the mainland...
As it is the population of the Falklands is on the cusp to starvation. They rely on shipments of food from Uruguay.
He's bang on. The UK needs a new P.M. that can rebuild the country and it's military.
UK military officials have admitted that the country is not prepared to sustain a war for more than a couple of months due to shortages in ammunition and equipment. This concern has been echoed by various defense analysts and reports highlighting the UK's limited capacity for prolonged conflict, without significant support from NATO allies
The country is a sitting duck.
Seems the Parliament is getting ready for the total Islamic takeover.

And why?

British military in 'sorry state' and needs 'well north of 3% of GDP for a decade', ex-Army chief warns | LBC

The former head of the British Army has warned that the UK's military is in a "sorry state" due to years of underfunding, calling for a significant increase in defence spending to address growing security threats.

www.lbc.co.uk

"He told Nick he was “very concerned,' when asked about the state of the Army. “So it was 102,000 when I assumed command of the Army and under the fairly draconian Cameron cuts, it was scheduled to go down to 82,000. It's now hovering around 70,000, I believe.""

Yep, 14 years of the Tories.

They increased taxes by 90% in 14 years, they increased public spending by 25-35% on essential services. The doubled the national debt.

Where'd all the money go? In a Tory pocket.

Covid scheme fraud hit almost £11bn but much 'beyond recovery', report says

The response to the pandemic led to "enormous outlays of public money which exposed it to the risk of fraud and error", a report says.

"Much of £11bn Covid scheme fraud 'beyond recovery', report says"

That was just Covid, and they funnelled £11 billion to their rich mates.

European countries don't need no stinkin' militaries, that is what they have NATO and the USA for.

By stiffing the US on UN support and NATO funding and banking on America, they have for years been able to dump 99% of their economy into high living, 6 week vacations, free healthcare and education, and 2 hour lunches every day.

Damn Trump is rocking the boat now...

You think they can beat penguins?

I don't know, they may form an alliance as penguins kinda look like Napoleon.

 

[luiza]

Americans desperately looking for somebody they think that they could beat .

Unfortunately America has forgotten what winning is like and we would always be victorious simply by virtue of being far more clever and cunning .
And not so blubbery .

That was just Covid, and they funnelled £11 billion to their rich mates.

It's what Tories do, they gave a PPE contract worth £22 million to a Publican which was Mat Hancocks local,while Covid was rampant, at the same time real PPE providers were rejected, and there were many more cases.
