There are certainly grandiose mindsets in Washington, perhaps the bigliest , most beautiful and psychotic of mindsets Donalds dollars can buy. He of coarse gets his free.
NEVER trust the US.
They supplied Argentina with spares for their A4 Skyhawks during the Falklands conflict.
The surviving crews of Sir Galahad, Antelope, Coventry and Ardent wonât forget, even if most of the internet seems to have done.

That wasnât the US it was Israel, donât think the US helped Argentina at all despite putting huge amounts of pressure on the UK not to declare war.
The French, never trust the French. MI6 instigated an op to buy up Exocet missiles that would otherwise have been sold to Agentina!

Amen
Israel certainly supplied parts for their version of the Mirage, so that wouldnât surprise me; it was rumoured the relevant French corporations were not exactly unhelpful with Super Ătendard & Exocet knowhow, and as I say all trace of allegations that the US supplied Skyhawk parts has long vanished - if it happened none of it would have gone thru vaguely official channels, it would have been secondary market dealers. Plausible deniablity 'nâall that.

Israel are cunts, always have been and always will be. I would never describe them as a âkey defence allyâ as they spend most of their intelligence efforts spying on their âalliesâ
Newly declassified files from the National Archives in Kew reveal that Israel supplied significant weaponry including strike aircraft to the Argentine Junta in the run-up to, and during, the 1982 conflict.
The files show that Israel provided, via Peru, air-to-air missiles, missile radar alert systems, and large capacity fuel tanks for the Argentine Skyhawk aircraft, giving them extra defensive capability and air time over the Falkland Islands, during the conflict. Israel also sold a large number of reconditioned Nesher (âDagger2) fighter jets from the 1970s, the Israeli version of the Dassault Mirage 5 multi-role aircraft, to the Argentines during the period of the Junta (1976-83) together with spare parts and other military materiel. Israeli arms exports to Argentina in this period are estimated to have been around US$1 billion.
This activity was well known to the UK authorities at the time but officials were pessimistic that the Israelis could be persuaded to stop.

Yep, Begin was behind that attack and was then PM during the Falklands war so itâs pretty clear whose side he was on.

A devastating blowâ: NAACP says supreme court ruling is âa major setback for our nationâ
Meanwhile, Derrick Johnson, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the nationâs oldest civil rights group, said the high courtâs decision in Louisiana v Callais delivers âa devastating blow to what remains of the Voting Rights Actâ.
The ruling is âa license for corrupt politicians who want to rig the system by silencing entire communities,â Johnson said in a statement today.
He went on:
The Supreme Court betrayed Black voters, they betrayed America, and they betrayed our democracy.
This ruling is a major setback for our nation and threatens to erode the hard-won victories weâve fought, bled, and died for. But the people still can fight back. Our democracy is crying for help.
The BBC frame the ruling somewhat differently.
This quote tells you what you need to know though:
The White House celebrated the ruling, calling it a âcomplete and total victory for American votersâ.
