How fortunate, then, that the Argentine now owes us so much money that we could stop an expeditionary force just by calling in the debt. Golly, does that mean that we are now reduced to American-style imperialism? If so, perhaps we could try the same thing with Spain... as Cicero so wisely said, the sinews of war are limitless finances.

Still, even if we could, that would be no reason to remove the Gibraltar defence batteries which point out of the Rock towards the Dons, and make the firepower of the RAF look like a troupe of Boy Scouts with pop-guns.
