Gasp!  How dare the Israelis favor a right wing government in South America over one in Europe?

Yes, how dare they.

Go ahead and test the power of your "empire" against the ire of the Israel lobby in Washington.

Nice editing of your quote there.

But my post still stands.

We don't have an empire.

When did I say we have an empire?

Eventually the yanks are gonna tire of giving billions to Israel and bending over for them.

For the record, I wasn't entirely serious about the arming Hamas thing. I am generally quite pro-Israel in most cases but I think they should at least issue a fucking apology for what they did. But hey, it's still better to have Israel than another Islamist shithole in the ME.

And the Israelis weren't the only ones. The war was associated with a certain term back in the day, which got more or less synonimous for the whole conflict: Exocet. Produced in France and actually responsible for the the british vessels being sunk. Also know what the Argentinians were flying? Dassault Mirage III, another product courtesy of French production.

So that's much ado about nothing. Just another country supplying another one to fill their own coffers. Maybe the French were a little more discreet in not actually shipping to Argentinia during the actual conflict. Which lasted for a whooping three months, by the way.

That's only because the conflict didn't fall on Trafalgar day.

BTW, the French did tell the argentines how to modify the Exocets they already have to beat British electronic countermeasure, to this revelation a certain British minister responded by saying of the French "they have always been a treacherous race". The french were probably thinking of Mers-El-kebir.
