This is when people want to start a 20 Trillion dollar decade long war but get pissed at the idea of giving Americans free blood pressure medication or free college tuition.

They won, but it wasn't pretty. They made some big mistakes and paid a hefty price. Pretty embarrassing to get shown up by a conscript army.

It looks like the Iranians seized another British tanker. This one is British owned and named Mesdar. It has changed course and is headed towards an Iranian island.

I definitely wouldn’t say Britain got shown up by conscripts... Once they actually got to the Falklands they smacked Argentina around.

Britain also captured 11,000 Argentinian prisoners and dealt some very heavy losses air-wise. They drove Argentina off the island pretty quick once they got there. So yeah they lost a couple hundred people but I would say it was still a dominant victory.

Glad five eyes has spent all this money on satellite surveillance because it’s clearly paying off.
