This is going to be so much fun.

There isn’t enough popcorn in the world.

They may as well. Britain can’t manage what they have on their own continent…

The Brits should never have betrayed the people of Hon Kong.

It’s a good time to do it. Last time, the UK still had their Cold War military, now they have next to nothing, and most of their ‘next to nothing’ they already disposed of in Ukraine.

For the curious, here’s a comparison of the British military to the Argentinian military (2023 data).

Britain is just a shadow of its former self. But Argentina has even less, and in some cases much less.

Argentina has to play a long historical game.

Woke, “diverse” corrupt-socialist Britain is in the long-historical process of collapsing itself.

Just wait until it does, and the Falklands will fall into Argentina’s lap without a struggle.

comparing it to the UK returning Hong Kong to China.

I don't know about the British and Argentina in 1833 or whenever, but the Brits had a lease on Hong Kong for 100 years. When the time was up, the Brits honored the lease and returned Hong Kong to the Chinese.

Kidding and snark aside, I hope he doesn’t waste time and political capital on this. There’s an awful lot of repair work to be done on the economy and crime/corruption fronts that is a lot more important to the future of Argentina.

Best book on the Falklands War (by far):

"The Battle for the Falklands" by Max Hastings and Simon Jenkins.

It touches on the politics (Spanish and British) from 1713 to 1982, the logistics of the British response and details of small unit movements during the war itself.

Great, fast-moving read for any history buff.

That is a VERY dumb move politically. It sets a line in the sand that is unlikely to be achieved. Thus giving ammunition to his opposition to attack.

1. Isn’t the new president a libertarian? Libertarians are usually against using the police and the military.

2. That being said, it’s hard to understand how the Brits would benefit by remaining there. They have all they can do to handle the internal divisions created by immigration and their failed socialist/LGBT policies.
