DW NOTE
Argentina threatens sanctions against oil companies drilling off the Falklands — a posture it has maintained since the 1980s with precisely zero enforcement capacity. The islands' hydrocarbon reserves remain unexploited not because Buenos Aires objects, but because the geology is unproven and the logistics are punishing. Milei inherits the same rhetorical playbook as his predecessors: claim sovereignty, threaten consequences, watch British-licensed exploration proceed regardless.
