    Not how deterrence works. If it was an instant "I win" button that current nuke powers could use to bully any non nuke powers into getting whatever they want, you would have total global proliferation overnight.

      The British are buttholes. They have always been buttholes.

      They didn't use nukes because there was no tangible benefit to doing so and would have cost them a significant amount of political capital at home and abroad.

      You might as well ask why they didn't bomb school buses in a terror campaign.

                No they haven't. They have rejected statehood multiple times. There are a few homosexuals pushing for statehood and doing everything including removing "remain a territory" from public voting options.

                why doesn't Puerto Rico want to become a territory? iirc rich expats from USA messes up PR's local economy. Plus, wouldn't they get seats in Congress if they become a state? They'd still get gibs from the government since a bunch of states get federal funds.

                They'd get more gibs but also pay more in taxes and have to live up to a bunch of US regulations from my vague memories, but I could be wrong. They also would have to find some way to convince the Republicans and Democrats that letting them in won't change the balance of power, or try it when the government is being run by a singular party and pander to them.

          No that's weird. Why should American troops enforce an island's right to remain a British territory when Thatcher is willing to spend the cash (and buy from the US, btw) to do it herself? Weird.

          The US would step in to break it up if things got out of hand, but Britannia is a capable nation, she can take care of her own business and foot her own bill in blood and treasure.

      Nobody was going to cause WW3 over the fricking Falklands and Britain showed it didn’t have to use them anyways from how quickly they slapped Argentina. Using nukes on Argentina would be a complete and total waste when the British goal was only securing Malvinas back and it became apparent that Argentina was in no shape for a prolonged conflict anyways.

      They were a British territory for long before all of that and specifically voted to continue being a British territory because anyone with a brain could see how much of a shithole Argentina was right from their house.
