  1. So in other words: Milei has problems at home and tries to distract Argentinians with an outside conflict.

    Oldest trick in the book – except that it rarely actually worked.

  2. In 2013 the people of Falklands voted whether to stay with Britain or join Argentina. 92% of the electors voted and 99.8% voted to stay. Maybe we should respect those who live there.

  3. The UK did not help the USA in Iran because the USA did not inform the UK of the war or what its goals were (Trump said they would topple the whole regime and help the protesters, they did neither).
    The Americans did also not provide cheaper gas/oil to the UK to compensate for the rise in prices due to the war there.
