If the UK lost it's carrier @Sawyer42

So after thousands were dead.

True

Anyway I’m back

I might go soon

The USA didn't put any sanctions on the Argies

Europeans did.

But yeah Russia isn’t as powerful as people make them out to be

Oh yeah I forgot when not proving themselves incompetent our "allies" just complain that our military might be used for something other than their problems. And now? Now you are complaining that we might want to fuck off and let you settle your own problems.

Afaik Thatcher _wanted_ to go it alone, to show the world that the UK still got it.

a good move IMO

"settle your own problems." You created these problems @Jym

Try harder.

China is much more of a threat and we should stop fighting constant wars to keep other nations down

and the US did offer help with Falclands

but Thatcher refused for that reason

If thousands of people died and a carrier was lost

THEN

They would help.

Yes.

@Nathan James 123 is right

I don’t give a fuck if America caused the problems in the Middle East, AMERICA CANT FIX THOSE PROBLEMS

but also Monroe Doctrine was still in effect then

True

It’s not our concern, stop trying to justify constant military action in the Middle East

Okay so say we created these problems
I say, have fun!

@Snake I think we're setting up problems in the ME for China to inherit

For Russia to inherit.

The problems usually date all the way back to the Ottoman empire.

it's not fair to blame the US

Problems it will happily fix through genocide.

not all of them

@Nathan James 123 China will need the Oil more than we do

True, but Russia is in a position to expand its sphere into there

@Nathan James 123

This is not about "a shining light of goodness". I'm debunking the silly assertion you made that these "allies" are in any way useful.

As they're currently doing

Russia will beat them to the ME.

@Jym Allies are useful

@Jym UK bases in the Middle East, Indian Ocean?

how are we supposed to counter China w/o friends

UK intelligence sharing?
