The Monroe Doctrine applies here. 2000 Brits living in an isolated enclave are not worth making a big issue over. They can continue to live there in peace as Argentine citizens. Having Milei as their PM just might be better.
Diego Garcia. The British government moved 800 people from the islands and dispersed them to others to build a major base there. Same thing should happen in this case but Falklanders are a different color.
The Falklands never was part of Argentina.
The people who live on the Falklands would like to stay as part of the UK, why not let them be?
Cause Argentina wants more fish and has a broke kleptocracy with hyperinflation
The Argentines have never colonized The Falklands. The Brits have been there since 1833.
Within 30 years it will be a colony of an Islamic Republic
The Monroe doctrine is long time dead. The part of that deal everyone forgets is the other half of it, that we would not screw around in the European sphere.
But in any case, Argentina is far less capable than it was in the 1982 war. And the Brits are pathetically weaker also. The Argies can’t get there, and the Brits could no longer remove them.
So I guess no harm is trying diplomatically and legally.
If the Argies had any sense, they would arrive in refugee boats and land unarmed and un-uniformed like they do in the Uk and EU today. Ask to be fed and paid benefits. Bout 2800 islanders, they could be overwhelmed in a day.
Nah. The Argies are just gonna have to accept that the islands are not theirs and the locals don't want them.
No. The islands are British for over 200 years. Like Gibraltar, they are British.
“They can continue to live there in peace as Argentine citizens”
IIRC they all voted to stay as British citizens.
Being a resident of a very rural area in the USA that is dominated by “City” folk, I can appreciate their desires.
I despise city people, as I grew up in one(Los Angeles Metro area) and have seen the corruption, crime, and damage their ways cause.
I understand why rural people like their independence.
