Not a major choke point but nonetheless a choke point and you know how excited they get around choke points.
I am thinking of Chavez's spreading revolution a lot of symbolism tied to the Falkland Islands.
Contemplated within the context of the Grand Game a Falklands invasion may not be cod’s wallop. The Falkland Islands are close to the Strait of Magellan. While the Strait of Magellan is not one of the ten major choke points that are now being fought over it is significant enough to merit new consideration. #msg-4024852
edit:
I am not sure this (#msg-6554723) is true but it got me thinking. Chavez is for real and wouldn't he love to institute another Falkland adventure?
