Barry, I can only repeat that Britain needed only a small air-unit on the Falklands and/or a few warships off the Falklands coast to deter the Argentine invasion, and perhaps a small military force in Port Stanley.
The reason the invasion came, where the best Argentine warships were WW II hand-downs from the USA, was because Mrs. Thatcher in all her wisdom did not even have one warship stationed there.
It took just a few torpedoes from a Brit submarine to sink the General Belgrano. But that was after General Gualtieri sent the invasion force over to Port Stanley, in fact weeks after.
So many British and Argentine lives were lost simply owing to Madam Thatcher not stationing any RN warships at the Falklands.
The Argentine generals would never have invaded in the first place if there had been a pair of warships there.
As for the rest of your post, "defending Britain's interests all over the world" is something you have been advocating for a long time, but the Government does not agree with "your very strange and warped idea"
