“Oh yeah, forgot. That’s like the US winning the Grenada war (the last war we won outright). So impressive.”

Your snark is unwarranted, perhaps because you know nothing at all of the Falklands War.

It was a logistical nightmare for Britain, as it had to sail 8,000 miles to get to the Falklands and South Georgia Island. Britain had to transport EVERYTHING by sea: Troops; supplies; materiel, etc. And Argentina had a respectable navy and air force (respectable, but not formidable). And, Britain had to divide its attentions between the Falklands and South Georgia Island, which are 1,000 miles apart.

And that makes the British battle-hardened and ready to take on the Russians?

Okay....
