In case you dont know about me, i tend to react quickly and fiercely to articles.

Then about an hour or less later, analysis kicks in.

A. The war wasn’t so long that any military sales would have mattered too much.

B. I’m pretty sure England had their eyes on what was coming and going.

C. Whatever weapons were sent by whomever, they didn’t make much of a difference.

D. It’s a 30 year old war.

I wish England would fight a war to take Staten Island back.

The United States was neutral in the Falklands War. We were technically allied with both the UK and Argentina.
Israel and the UK were not allies. The British were all too happy to stop Jewish immigration and arm the Arabs in the years leading up to the Israeli War of Independence. Hamas wishes to destroy Israel. The Argentine junta wanted 2 small islands.

Israel certainly sold their own technology to China, generally with the approval of the US. I am no fan of such sales with or without the approval of the US. However, China is helping Israel’s enemies. Israel on the other hand is one of the major arms suppliers of India.
