Probability that the war will escalate... and the capabilities and British intentions
I think it's highly unlikely that war can scale so that British attacks land to the Argentine mainland become necessary.
Using as likely trigger any of those mentioned above in other post, for more to be closest to the ASB, far removed from reality these may not come to pass.
More feasible, but still far from reality, perhaps serious that British soldiers and the governor of the Falklands, taken prisoner of war by the Argentine ... be sent to a prison camp within Argentina and required a conventional military operation to free them; because a hypothetical Argentine negative to free or exchange them.
In this scenario and / or added perhaps to a different end of the war, but without official surrender for assault and fighting house to house in Port Stanley; with the result that defeated the Argentines but in Bs. As. will not accept that the war ended and continuing air strikes.
In this situation, it would require the destruction of air bases from Argentine aircraft depart, located on the mainland.
I say military operation and I do not mean a British invasion to Argentina because not only was not in his interest to do so but was outside the capabilities and the British will send one or several armies in amphibious operations of the size required to invade Argentina.
British forces would be fighting in the reverse scenario to that of the Falklands War ...
Assuming, of course, that choose to Patagonia to invade, would be hundreds of kilometers without a city or town that can capture and those who are captured are not worth the price in blood that the Argentine armed forces, would make them pay. away from their bases outnumbered and without the support of its fleet, against the Argentine military units in a conventional war to be fought near their bases and with the support of its population.
With respect to attack Argentina's capital directly... I do not think any British military planner or theirs political controls, they go to interest the prospect of urban warfare in a city of millions of people and in a region with several million people more.
Regarding the best Chilean aid, does not expect too much of a dictator as Pinochet, even if it is a circumstantial friend of Great Britain, or the capabilities or intentions of Chile for more than just to maintain some Argentine units.
Fighting in the mountain passes, a war planned and for which the Argentine armed forces were prepared for years.
It was a hypothesis conflict that was desired for the Argentine Armed Forces and one that perhaps would have happened if the alcoholic dictator Galtieri had not had the idea of invading the Falklands.
Finally it remains to consider the political aspect that would imply that British soldiers fighting the Argentines in their own country, and the reactions of other Latin American countries.
Besides the very uncomfortable political position of the United States when Argentina invoked justifiably to The Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (commonly known as the Rio treaty, the Rio Pact, or by the Spanish-language acronym TIAR.
Requesting help from neighbors and especially Brazil... which would be theoretically by the treaty and the popular pressure forced to help Argentina... at least a minimum by sending war supplies.
Could we get Beresford's colours back?
