The Pentagon is looking at ways the US can punish NATO countries for not supporting the Iran war.

Donald Trump’s Pentagon officials are examining potential measures to penalize NATO countries that have declined to back the Iran conflict, with reports suggesting this includes a review of Britain’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands.

[…] Britain fought a war against Argentina in 1982 to maintain control after Argentine forces invaded the islands. Argentina’s current president, Javier Milei, is among Trump’s closest international supporters.

        I mean that the UK has always been supporting US adventurism, whether it be Iraq, Syrian or now Iran. So, will they also support an invasion of their own territory, now that the US is trying to press a claim?
