There wasn't any need to bomb the hell out of Argentina when we could

That was my point. Good show.

Of course, "we" means "The USA and the Brits right behind us".

My understanding is that the Americans were rather keen that we didn't go to
war with Argentina. The US imposed sanctions on Argentina but didn't have
any military involvement.
