    No, Brian. Britain has North Sea oil for a while, whereas western Europe has just about no oil apart from Norway, and the USA cover 25% of their oil consumption with their own oil fields.

    If there were an urgent need for oil in the West, only Britain could supply it by extracting it from the Falklands territorial waters.
    An Argentine threat to this potential supply could cut western Europe from oil supplies if something brewed up in the Gulf, and also the USA. We would be one of the few countries in the West to somehow get through on our own production, which comes from the North Sea.

    The Argentine government is playing a dangerous game by threatening us.
    The whole of the West in Europe and North America could actually be on our side if the Argentines continue threatening us.
