What Does Great Britain Owe 2,000 Falkland Islanders? Is it worth it?
https://theweek.com/politics/javier-milei-what-new-argentine-president-means-for-the-falklands ^

Posted on 12/15/2023 8:31:57 AM PST by DIRTYSECRET

Milei drew heavy criticism for saying that the British prime minister during the Falklands War in 1982, Margaret Thatcher, was one of "the great leaders in the history of humanity".

It is a "must" for Argentine politicians to "create noise over the Falklands"

They should get the hell out. It cost them $500k per islander to bail them out in '82. Milei has bigger fish to fry but this issue is a part of it. Britain can work with this new government and create a win-win partnership. The US could be the arbiter but not under Biden. We gave up the Panama canal, something Wm. F. Buckley approved.

Capitalist democracies do not war with each other. Deal with it.

After Milei’s comments, it “didn’t take long for Britain to hit back” said Hennell, with Defence Secretary Grant Shapps saying it was “non-negotiable and undeniable” that the Falklands were British.

“England invented racism” -Andrew Young.
A perfect example.
“England’s empire has returned into sand”-Bob Dylan.
Get on with it.

They should stay right where they are, on the land that their ancestors settled, and they should have the government they have choose to have.

Just as Northern Ireland has chosen, Gibraltar has chosen and so on.

I know you, DEMONCRAT SHILL, love the idea of stealing from free people and overturning their votes but you can just go pee up a rope.

Milieu doesn’t understand that possession is 9/10 of the law.

They are British. There are no Argentinians on the islands and haven’t been for 200 years.

“They should get the hell out.”

And give them back to Spain?

Buckley was wrong. Inexcusably so. It was obvious then and is vastly more obvious now.

Capitalist democracies do not war with each other.

And Argentina is in no way Capitalist, it is a socialist hell hole that managed to make everything into nothing.

Deal with it.

“England invented racism” -Andrew Young.

"DEMONRAT SHILL invented simping for socialists."- Harmless Teddy Bear.

Both statements are totally untrue as DEMONRAT SHILL could not invent anything if his life depended on it and Emmanuel Kant pretty much invented the concept of racism. A German not English.

There is no reason for the Ethnic Cleansing that DEMONRAT SHILL would like to impose on the Falkland Islands to please his Socialist paymasters.

Sadly true although there are some that are fighting it.

Like here they want to get to twenty percent foreign born which will probably be the tipping point and there will be no way for the newcomers to integrate into the dominate culture.

For my next trick N. Ireland goes to the Irish. Why do you think they supported Hitler?

Quebec goes independent. We take western Canada. Capitol: Pt. Roberts.

Khalistan goes Sikh.

No, what is wrong with you DEMONRAT SHILL?

Lived in Argentina, lived beside Argentina and sadly they are socialist to their boots.

Could that change? If they want to do so but Argentina is way too enamored of OPM (Other Peoples Money) which is why they want to ethnically Ethnic Cleanse the Falkland and steal them and they want to do the same to the Beagle Islands.

Argentina is has a long history of Ethnic Cleansing and Socialism. That is why the old Nazis felt so comfortable there.

Can they change?

Sure.

Will they?

Milei is not filling me with hope as one of the first things he is running his mouth about is Ethnic Cleansing and theft.

“you can just go pee up a rope”

Lol I haven’t heard that expression in ages since my grandmother passed away 40 years ago. She would use that expression regularly.

“They should stay right where they are, on the land that their ancestors settled, and they should have the government they have choose to have.”

Can the same be said of the Mexicans in the US Southwest? The Indian tribes?

Nay.

Might makes right.

For my next trick N. Ireland goes to the Irish.

Once again you want to over turn elections and do Ethnic Cleansing of people who are just peacefully living on land their ancestors settled.

Why do you think they supported Hitler?

Because Communists of a feather flock together.

Quebec goes independent.

Quebec does not want to be independent. Like Argentina they are racist and really want other people's money.

We take western Canada.

Who is this WE?

Khalistan goes Sikh.

Ok, now we are seeing a pattern. You, DEMONRAT SHILL, love terrorists.

So you are in favor of socialism, racism, Ethnic Cleansing and terrorism.

How delightful.

And Argentina has no might.

I have seen gas station attendants that were more put together then the Argentine Army.

They also have no money to get that might. Although the way they have been running their mouths since they selected Peron to be their god they could have made a fortune in wind energy.

Absolutely not. What kind of a country abandons its sovereign territory and simply turns its back on its own people because another country wants some of its territory? Britain should defend the Falklands to the hilt and press ahead with oil and gas exploration in the Falklands’ territorial waters.

Well at least in your world Imperial Washington will finally have to recognize the independence of Dixie.
