Reagan was pressured by the UK/Western Europe to supply huge amounts of arms/ammunition to the British forces to help them beat Argentina. European nations spend so little on defence, they can't even beat a medium ranked nation like Argentina without massive American help.

They did not get "massive American help" in this war.

You are engaging in historical revisionism again. The other day you were praising North Korea and also claiming they beat back American Forces in the Korean war, when it was actually China. North Korea would have been gone but for China's intervention.

They did not get "massive American help" in this war.

"Massive" is subjective, so the amount of assistance is open to interpretation.

It's safe to say, however, that the UK could not have carried out the operation they did without US assistance.

This isn't conjecture, by the way. While the US was officially denying it at the time, CIA files released thirty years after the conflict reveal that the US was providing satellite intelligence as well as air-to-air missiles to the UK. The Americans also fueled the fleet up on its way south.

South Korea was getting clobbered by North Korea before America butted in.
So America backed South Korea and China backed North Korea and together beat back the US. South Korea forces. so what's the problem?

“The other day you were praising North Korea”

I said I’d back North Korean forces in any fight with Ukraine forces’
That still holds.
