borislvin1998 год - интервью бывшего посла США в Аргентине о событиях 1978 года.
Автоматический перевод с испанского:
- What was your impression of the position of the Argentine commanders? Who were the most warmongers?
- They assumed that they were going to invade Chile, Santiago, especially. It seemed very easy to them; a question of crossing the border and that the Chileans were going to give up. And I told them: No, no, they are wrong.
<...>
- And why then did the Argentine military want to go into conflict with Chile?
- They thought that Chile was a weak country, that it had a certain military weakness and that it could very easily invade it and take Chile's position.
- And when you contradicted them, what did they say?
- They didn't believe it. They thought that they were going to get on a white horse and they arrived and were like Simón Bolívar.
- A madness.
- Yes.
- And the same pressure that you exerted in Buenos Aires was exerted in Santiago?
- No. I felt that in Chileans there was a calmer atmosphere.
