How did Pink Floyd put it?
Brezhnev took Afghanistan
Begin took Beirut
Galtieri took the Union Jack
And Maggie over lunch one day
Took a cruiser with all hands
Apparently to make him give it back
Looks like not much has changed, has it? Know what else hasn't changed? The outcome of fighting if the Argentines try another military stunt in the Falklands.
Malvinas, no. Falklands, si.
Tough noogies. I'm not giving California back to Mexico, Spain, Aztlan, or the Maidu, either. And the inhabitants of the Falklands want to be British. Bummer for the Argentines.
ReplyDeleteAs I recall, the "selling arms to Argentina" only included what they had previously ordered and paid for. It included nothing new to use in the war.
Remember the General Belgrano!
