Argentina going childish (as always?)

No, you're not brilliant when you start a war.

then your definition of brilliance is way more limited than i would expect from a denizen of a total war forum

And Thatcher most certainly did not do much to end the junta. The Falklands was a last ditch attempt to rally support for it, not the cause of its demise.

indeed and it is quite likely, nay nearly inevitable that the junta would have gone for somebody else if thatcher didnt provide such a willing target. But they didnt. Instead of attacking its fellow south Americans in wars it might have won it attacked the super power with a suez sized chip on its shoulder and the rest was history.
