I think Argentina has a big head because they won the World Cup. Maybe some photos and videos of the previous Falklands war failure can help them come back to reality. Britain could’ve bombed mainland Argentina if they wanted.

They should have. Al Haig wouldn’t let them. Taking out a parliament capitol building would have sent the message home. Nips it in the bud the thought of trying it again.

They did bomb a military facility as I recall. The rest of the continent was sensitive of the gringos. This was 4 years after we were sensitive enough to hand over the canal in Panama. If there is something to be gained from any grievance the grievance will be milked for all it’s worth. Eg: blacks and slavery.
