Guffah! You would have lost the Falklands war if not for covert US
support.
Failures in Iraq and Afghanistan as well.

What "covert US support" was provided in the Falklands war, sparky?

Sidewinder missiles. We stripped our own front line defense to supply them
two days after the first British ship was hit.

Sidewinder missiles? You "stripped" your own front line, did you?

That's it?


You may recall things started out rather poorly for Billy's side.

And you think that the US's Sidewinders were what turned the tide!

LOL

Absolutely.

Don't take my word for it. Ask Lord Powell, Thatcher's foreign affairs
advisor. Caspar Weinberger was Knighted for his support.

Riiiiiiiight.

For Sidewinders.

LOL
