Re: But...
not to mention that the islands were invaded by the then miltary Junta, whose performance was probably a big factor in them losing power a few years later.
Not a cuddly lot, those.
In fact, I really struggle to see what claim Argentina has, given that the only time their ancestors had anything to do with the islands, it was pre-Bolivar, ie it was Spain doing it.
But when you have a tinpot govt, looking at you, oh Kirchners, what fun external issues are.
p.s. this whole QE + F35 thingy is really starting to look like a Chinese military planner's wet dream, innit? Given thats the only adversary remotely justifying that white elephant. shoehorn your opponents spending in unproductive directions, straight outta Sun Tzu.
