  Danish F16s are probably now going to Ukraine, not that the British would lift their veto anyway.
  
  No, it’s JF-17s or armed Pampas for the Argy Airforce.
  
  Although, we have heard this all before.

  “Once more, the Air Force was left to dream about getting a supersonic fighter for a while, dedicating time and resources to inspect, evaluate and study solutions that came to nothing,”
  
  “Apparently blind to the buildup of air power in neighboring Brazil and Chile, President Fernandez sees only peace in South America.”

  A Chinese Army base in Rio Negro, a Naval base in Tierra del Fuego and a factory of Chinese fighters ... well good luck with that .. very Argentine mind choices just like before WWII here we go again.. propelled by a lethal amount of envy I think.

  I'm just going to copy and paste my same response to the other similar story, as it is identically applicable.
  Last I checked, China has never been behind the assassination or ouster of any Latin American president, has never tried to overthrow any elected government, has never sent any troops or military interventions, nor finances and created propaganda for any of its preferred candidates, has never stunningly openly lied to the entire planet by creating million dollar efforts to install non elected politicians as a “legitimate government”, nor financed internal wars and guerilla fighting and murder. Neither has China (so far) logged thousands of acres illegally leaving behind poison and deadly chemicals in the rivers of countries in order to haul away as much of their geological resources as possible.
  .
  When it comes to US and UK historical involvement @Shogun (about another post), I would hardly call it a comparison between Pot and Kettle. Just the fact that it is the -- Head of a sector of the US military global command -- makes her lying even more outrageous. Why should the US Military be talking about political situations relative to global democratic free associations among nations, if it did not want to right away create the framing for a belligerency or war hypothesis?? Once more an English speaking country with zero regard or respect towards the equal rights of all nations in the world, talking insolently and pedantically about what really is the US's oppressive pretension of domination of Latin America, and its own veiled and presumptuous greed for its resources and control of its politics.

  I do the same.
  
  When you dance with the Devil there is a price to be paid.
  
  Just Ask the Tibetans, Uyghurs, Taiwanese, Hong Kongers, or any of a dozen other ethnic groups in China or on its borders.
  
  Or any country bordering the S. China sea.
  
  Or any country in Africa that has done investment/extraction deals with the Chinese.
  
  The only thing free from China was covid 19
  
  Time to start supplying Taiwan with NLAW and StarStreak missiles, make that as unwinnable for Chinese as Ukraine is proving to be for the Russians.
