@josedro No it did not mate. All this talk of the USA giving Sidewinders to the UK nonsense. Just as in WWII, the Brits paid for everything. The Sidewinders were already on order and delivered early. The most significant help was from Chile. It allowed the Brits access to its radar surveillance station, to monitor Argie military aircraft movements.

@Great White Don't be too sure. It's not what you have, it's about how you use it. That was proven in the Falklands conflict and also when the RAF managed to evade the USA air defences during two exercises, one year apart, to 'drop nuclear' bombs on US territory.

@oscarbosio9881 You can think what you want. Argentina is the result of Spanish colonialism. Argentina was stolen from Native Americans. There are no traces of human habitation on the Falkland Islands. If the Argentinians return the stolen land to the Native Americans, then we can see what the next move is.

@oscarbosio9881 The islands are called The Falkland Islands.

@oscarbosio9881 So when will the Argentinians return the land in Argentina to the native Americans?

@markcooke5270 It turns out that the oil is very low quality. The only income for the islands is fishery licenses.

@oscarbosio9881 The land occupied by Argentina was stolen from the native Americans. When do the Argentinians plan on returning it to them?

@jotabe1984 Yep, just like the Argentinians live and prosper on land stolen from native Americans.

@igniortix Why would the Falklands islanders want to be governed by a corrupt, bankrupt and incompetent, failed State, which is nowhere near being a stable democracy?

@josedro Totally untrue. The UK paid for everything, just as they did in WWII.
