the outcome would not at all be certain.

Oh it would. Argentina has no force projection capability and unlike last time there wouldn't be a failure of political will in the UK to create an opening for them. They'd be coming at a defended Falklands not a handful of bored marines on sheep-shagging duty

Man. Looking at the Argies capability, they've literally got nothing do they.

Don't disagree @Zarjazz - but it's still a bit silly saying that America would come in on Agentina's side in a new Falklands war.
There's oil. The traditional diplomatic playbook goes out the minute there's oil involved. If Trump thinks that his family can profit by backing Argentina , then they'll back Argentina all the way. I don't think Trump and co expects it to come to blows, but there's a middle ground where a third party handles the oil rights and both Argentina and the UK get a slice of the pie. It might just be that a Jared Kusher backed firm becomes this third party. This is how Trump operates. Graft, Graft and more graft. It should be expected at every turn these days.

Apparently the UK firm who found the oil needed 3.5bn to exploit it - and they got it from Israel, who've taken 2/3rds of the profits apparently.

It's wrong all round tbh. Plenty of corruption. And from their (US n Argies) why shouldn't they be in on it...
