Genuinely great ngl

I ask myself that question every day...

>RAF cackling evilly
Amazing

What the fuck is it with Aregentina and this mad suicide rush to fight over a bunch of arid cliffs with nothing but sheep? Is there some secret pirate treasure buried there that they think will save their economy?

The war itself was supposed to save it, as well as stop unrest.

Are argies still salty they got spanked by britannia when trying to invade their island with an army of press-ganged conscripts

An incompetent and tyrannical dictatorship trying to distract the populace from troubles at home and whip up national pride to quell dissent by going to war.

It gets brought up on the regular because the nation is such a shithole and the politicians at each point are equally desperate.

From what I've seen, the people don't give a fuck, but politicians regularly uses it as a tool to get support.

>You now remember that Argentina has and continues to make multiple claims on parts of Antarctica

Argentina was ruled by a tinpot fascist junta which was in extremely dire straits. Seeking to legitimise itself, it invaded the Falklands, which was a genuinely popular move.

When the lost the war well, things didn't go so well.

daily reminder this bitch got lucky
if argentina invaded a year later britain would've been fucked, with no aircraft carriers or troop ships to retake the islands.

You could say that about alot of wars and conflicts.
Never neglect your Luck stat.

Nah, it would have been the American Argentine war, then.
You think the eternal anglo would have sat by and done nothing when one of its NATO members were attacked?

Actually the guy is brazilian

Yes.

el aweonao eterno...

No, is quite correct. It was awkward for the US because they wanted to maintain relations with Argentina, but Reagan was hardly going to side with them over his close ally Thatch and had the US standing ready to help if Britain needed it. We didn't.

They were perfectly happy to turn a blind eye to Americans supporting the IRA

Do you know about the Monroe Doctrine?

Do you know how close the Thatcher and Reagan governments were? Not to mention the fact the Cold War was still going on at the time and the UK-US alliance was the most important against the Soviet Bloc. If you think the US wouldn't have helped the UK to win (they helped them behind the scenes anyway) you don't know your history as well as you think.

You fucking idiot, the argentinean military junta was put in power by the CIA in order to kill communists (Operation Condor). The only reason Argentina invaded the Falklands is because the CIA told them the UK wouldn't care, otherwise they would have started a war with Chile.

I'm a fucking idiot for stating facts?

The US has pulled shit like that time and time again. They helped fucking Saddam Hussein into power. They do whatever is in their interests at the time, and they decided to side with the UK because their alliance with the UK was more important than their ties with Argentina.

There would have not been an Argentine-American war because it would have been pointless in the context of the Cold War: The US fighting against a capitalist dictator they put in power? That only happened after the fall of the Soviet Bloc (Noriega, Hussein, etc).

What would have likely happened is that the US just tells the UK to deal with it or they tell Argentina to start a war with Chile.

I wasn't the guy who made the first post referencing an Argentine-American war. But the US would have helped the UK win if they hadn't been at full strength. I can't find a source that isn't behind a paywall but Reagan offered Maggie use of a US aircraft carrier if she needed one. I can't see any circumstances in which the UK could have lost.

America promised to back Britain because Britain was well placed to retake the islands. If Britain had no capabilities to retake them independently there's no reason to assume America would make the same promises.

We all know Chile was next on Argentina's shitlist.

I mean, Reagan backing the UK in a war would have happened anyway, but the US declaring war against Argentina? Impossible.

Says the cocksucking faggot without honor who pretended to join the Pacific War if we continue claiming the patagonia. Do you know what is the best part?, you can't prove me wrong.

right wing capitalist dictator ships arent great

Reagan x Thatcher OTP

I don't blame them. There are Filipino villagers in some remote mountains that speak a mongrel version of local dialects mixed with a version of Spanish thats over a hundred years old that are more comprehensible to a Spanish speaker than the average Chilean.

some decades after the war, argies and bongs are now on a race to the bottom

Argie here. Only people who care are the boomers who fought the war. Everyone else doesn't give two shits.

>He voted for fernandez.
LMAOing at your life butthead.

What Argentina did was a last desperate move to save the dictatorship through distraction. It would have been stupid for other countries to side with them and risk war with the UK and possibly America if the NATO agreement was invoked. Argentina played themselves.

a functional economy and a voice in regional politics

wait no that's how they get the UK to become Argentinian

Cry some more.

Argentina thought that it would be like the Indian occupation of Goa. That Britain would howl and complain but ultimately acquiesce.
Unfortunately for them the UK was not Portugal and they were not India.
