This is a total non-issue. Of course Milei isn't going to say "oh I don't care about the Falklands" (he's the president of Argentina and even though he makes his decisions based on his mystic sister's crystal ball, he's not that mad) but "get them back by diplomatic means" is Argentinian politician code for "why should I care about some rocks in the middle of nowhere" and "I will occassionally bring this up as a piece of sabre rattling but I will be too busy trying to shut down the Argentinian state and central bank to invade".

I'm really nervous about this. Of course almost every Argentine leader will hold this policy because it's a very popular one across the populace there, and yet despite his Anglophilia I fear that...
I'm really nervous about this. Of course almost every Argentine leader will hold this policy because it's a very popular one across the populace there, and yet despite his Anglophilia I fear that Milei is unpredictable enough to actually make a diplomatic effort at some point in his tenure, even if not militarily. Things are dangerous at the moment, and I do worry for the Islanders so much right now.

The Argentine military is even less capable now than it was in 1982.
