The UK should build a few bunkers for the Falklanders and give them 3 low yield nukes with a 100 mile radius.

If the Argentinians are to be believed then the HMS Dauntless has nukes on it, and also there is apparently a Royal Navy trafalgar-class nuclear submarine in the waters around the Falklands too. Also, there is a 500 strong British army garrison on the Island permanently, so I think it's protected enough to withstand the Argentinians, at least, until the RAF fighter jets arrive, lol.

Oh, and if you type 'Falkland Islands' into google, this thread is the first result..

I wouldn't trust a future UK government to defend them though especially given the cost. The Falklanders could just bluff that they have them.

Once the oil money starts flowing, they can go independent and start bullying the Argentinians with their billion dollar pirate ships.
