What would a second Falklands War look like?

Yes, indeed.

I think relations have improved over the year, but there's still no love lost, as we saw in the Football World Cup earlier this year.

So just going back to what's behind the current territorial flashpoint, I'd say this has got a lot less to do with reclaiming a so-called stolen land.

While the Falkland Islands are only about 300 miles away from Argentina's southern coast, it's never actually controlled them.

They've been under British control since 1841.

What's really behind this is natural resources.

The current noise is emerging as the UK prepares to conduct initial oil exploration work via an activity called Sea Lion.

And just sort of looking at a sort of cautionary, perhaps why you shouldn't look to invade the Falklands again.

And there's a massive mismatch between the UK's armed forces and Argentina's inventory, as Ryan's just alluded to.

As I said at the start, the Falklands were very, very lightly defended when the war happened.

But there's now a permanent garrison, been there for many years, and that's got roughly 1,200 UK military personnel who are defending the island.

And that's roughly as many people as there actually are living on the island.

In addition to that, the Royal Air Force has a permanent flight of four Eurofighter Typhoons, which are positioned there to stand quick reaction alert if they're needed.

And they're supported by an A330 Voyager tanker.

They're all positioned at Mount Pleasant Air Base.

So should there be any further increase in tensions, though, or the threat level comes up, then London's got... lots of extra Typhoons it could send down there.

It's also got two Royal Navy aircraft carriers with F-35B Lightning II strike aircraft on them.

The messages coming from London in response to Millais' recent comments are absolutely clear.

They said the islanders alone should determine their future.

There was a referendum done in 2013 And I think it was 99.8% of the population said that they wanted to remain British.

So there wasn't much ambiguity there.

London also says that the Falklands are adequately defended currently against the threat level that they face.

So as I alluded to at the start of the episode, Argentina's president has clearly been energised by Donald Trump, who suggested that Washington could adjust its attitude to the Falklands' sovereignty.

And that stems from the UK not backing his war in Iran.

Although bizarrely, Trump has said that he didn't want their support and didn't need their support.

Yes, indeed.
