[0:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BA1nZ3P1CidQ/en/us-politics-and-brexit-warnings-on-the-white-house-and-the-falklands-war?t=3) W- what has it got to do with you?" The fact is, when America sneezes, the world catches a cold.

[0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/BA1nZ3P1CidQ/en/us-politics-and-brexit-warnings-on-the-white-house-and-the-falklands-war?t=14) Uh, and it's, it's because of the man who is in the White House.

Um, and she took us into the Falklands. There was no reason, none whatsoever, for us to fight the Argentinians in the Falkland Islands.
