Britain will invest £180 million over the next ten years in defending the Falkland Islands against a ‘very live’ threat from Argentina, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said today.
The announcement comes amid fears of an invasion after it emerged Vladimir Putin could be helping to re-arm the South American nation by leasing them 12 long-range bombers.
Mr Fallon said Britain’s military presence on the South Atlantic territory would be ‘beefed up’ following the findings of a review by top brass.
It has been 33 years since the Falklands War of 1982. Argentina continues to insist that the Malvinas (Falklands) Islands belong to them. Vladimir Putin agrees apparently. What he is doing is courting allies for the upcoming world war. The Falklands would no doubt be a vital base for the Russians in the future.
