Remember, gold is not at an all time high, the dollar is just decreased in value.
That’s actually kind of funny. They can draft prince Andrew to fly choppers down there again.
And Bermuda is ours while we’re at it .
“Israel hints at ‘recognizing Falkland Islands as Argentinian’ in revenge for Keir Starmer welcoming Palestinian state”
at first, i thought this was a babylon bee headline, but on second thought, i though it was one hellofa great idea!
That would certainly be inflammatory. I spent a few weeks in Cambridge in the 90s and remember seeing aftermath of a bombing because of Ireland..and thought sheesh..hope I don’t get blown up over some land.
Someone posted that Israel has recognized England as a Palestinian State. LOL!!!
I used to be proud of the fact, that I gave the RAF, direct military support, during the Falklands campaign. Now? Not so much.
AND...Alberta 😁
There is no way Britain could defend the Falklands like they did back in the day
It was actually a pretty close thing even then
Funny how that works. From the time of Bill Clinton’s illegal operations utilizing NATO, many of us on Active Duty at the time recognized the misuse. Having worked in a handful of general officer’s admin support, and then supporting US Forces, I thought it was cute when I was told I would be breaking Congressional Oversight and legal boundaries by secretly providing US NATO Officers with Signal Battalion support - which is forbidden by the Congress for GOs assigned to NATO. It was just a hop and a skip from that moment that I left DOD for the foreign service. Being the only conservative in a group of 25 Americans at an Embassy when Obama was elected, I saw the immedate repurcussions of DNC ownership of the USG, and especially the CIA. From reporting Hillary’s email server in Feb 2009 to being told by Judical Watch in 2019/20 to drop it because the official narrative is the USG only found out about Hillarys email server and redirection of classified and sensitive information in 2015. The USG is corrupt beyond the pale. By the time Biden dropped the ball with a rudderless presidency, the lawfare state and Project Ukraine became central to every initiate.
In 1990 the US put a black ambassador in S.Africa. We effected the transfer of the De Klerk government nuclear weapons to the US and Britian, leaving Taiwan, S.Korea and Israel with rouge centralized weapon program; today we worry about Iran. The way things work is we arm one country or four in this case, and then China and Russia arm countries like Pakistan, Iran, N.Korea and “others” winky wink.
The world used to seem like American was the becaon of freedom and democracy and the Russians bad. Then it seemed for about 8 years Russia was okay while we capitalized on their collaspe until we were kicked out by Putin.
Israel was my first foreign service assignment. Israel is doing what needed to be done in 1967/73. While the Jewish had to live with the Arabs... the Arabs never wanted peace with the Jews and they always had the world opinion to save their butts when they terrorized the Jews in Israel. Gaza is finished; the West Bank is another huge problem that is just the next round away from being dissected and destroyed. The world could only subject the Jews to so much hypocrisy in allowing thier precious Pali$ to destroy Israel. Israel has destroy Lebannon, Syrain, Iranian, Hootie, and just about all of Gaza since October 7th. The world is getting a clue about how real power works. The US has used this same kind of power in Ukraine.
Since Clinton, Bush II, Obama/Biden, then Trump as well, Biden and now Trump II (Biden 2.0), the US has been engaged in the raw use of power in the wake of the collaspe of the soviet union... NATO was the instrument of that raw power. From former Yugoslavia with to Iraq, over a million civilian casualites are at our president’s whims and commands in those countries. Reading the military and diplomatic figures on those killed is sobering.
I still love our Country and the Military; the rest of the USG and the DNC/Deep State needs to be sent straight to Hell or Jail - I would not lump Israel’s so called genocide with that of what NATO has performed. Trump in weak moments has stated NATO is something that needs to be dismantled because of the longterm misuse.
Until as such time as the US disengages from multilateral military arrangements and using proxies to conduct wars, coups and other acts of RAW Power... those serving must hope American returns to a beacon of hope and freedom, democracy not so much.

I find it interesting that in the 1982 Falklands War Britain was run by a conservative Margaret Thatcher and Argentina was run by a socialist.
Today, the politics are reversed for both countries.
