I wouldn’t say like Gitmo. But it is ego driven. Once upon a time the sun never set on the British Empire. That’s really the last holding they have.

Uhh, Argentina was a totalitarian regime — frantically looking for a distraction (like BeijingBiden is pushing CNN to talk up Ukraine as vital to US interests).
