Latino Disunity during the Falkland War
No, I am not talking about the Latino American reluctance to offer Argentina the same military assistance as the United states offered England. I am referring to something far more glaring. A fellow Latin American country offering assistance to Britain by preventing Argentina from being able to fight back effectively.
How so? Well, you see, being a geographically adjacent country, Chile was able to detect Argentinean fighter jets heading for the Falklands, and would immediately inform, the British so they would not betaken by surprise.
In short, not only did Argentina have to deal with the British fleet radar detection of its jets, but it had to deal with the Chilean radar detection, making a successful attack extremely unlikely.
Now, this is something that most people in the USA would not imagine possible since they view all Latinos an identical group united by very similar histories and cultures. Yet, that is the exactly the way it panned out. Chile offered the British invaluable help in that military struggle, and prevented a far greater damage from being inflicted on the British Navy.

Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Radrook Admin: Six guests in 24 hours down from 5000 just a week ago? That is really impressive tweaking.

Radrook Admin: Amazing how the number of guests rose suddenly to 5000 and then has been gradually and steadily going down. Pretty soon I will be getting maybe 100 guests if I am lucky. All of them bots, of course.
