[Tonitrus]

Rumours the Cubans might get involved. It's the 1980s all over again!

If we use "Red Dawn" as a reference point...Nicaragua.

Yep, because Burkina Faso is part of the pré carré i.e French. 
I believe there was a putsch and/or a civil war going in the former Haute Volta lately so they might be busy for a while.

Costa Rica doesn't have an army.  Pretty sure Nicaragua does.

If Venezuela wasn't such a basket case these days, they might like to help the Russkies out.  Or Argentina could some practice in before trying another Falklands grab (which if they managed to pull off again, would probably go unopposed this time).

With the Tories in power?

Even with the Tories, I'm not sure Hollande would lend his planes needed for our aircraft carrier. Or is it the carrier for our planes, I'm not sure. Although I might be wrong, as Mitterand did support us last time Argentina invaded.

Do you still have two hands?


If so that's just about enough to count how the number of Royal Navy warships. un-

The Tories may be in power, but that doesn't mean they have Maggie's balls. 

I guess it would ultimately depend on how supportive/involved our government would be.

Didn't they build a military base on the island to prevent a landing?

Also, modern submarines are more than enough to destroy what ever navy the Argies have (they've slashed their budget even more than the UK IIRC).

Still more than enough to defeat whatever shit the Argies have

Rumours that several, perhaps three Russians have been killed in rebel shelling of a forward base inland from Latakia, suggested they're not Russian servicemen, nor 'little green men', but volunteers, possibly having come from a quietening Eastern Ukraine.
