Today marks 42 years since Argentina tried to colonise and ethnically cleanse the Falklands Islands only for progressive decolonial thought-leader Margaret Thatcher to support land back and defend the indigenous people's right to self determination against fascist imperialism.

Thatcher was punk as frick

I'd give a lot of the credit to the AIM-9L Sidewinder with the new all-aspect seeker so you could shoot it head on. It's a big part of why Israel went like 100-2 against the Syrians in the same year.

A little bit of oil, a little bit of national pride and a little bit of scientific research

The Brits got it before the Spanish and the Argies want it because it's close to them.

The French were first, and afterwards the last Spaniard was evicted (1811) from the island before Argentina was created (1820)

So it's pretty r-slurred

Wrong, chud. The only reason why South America is dysfunctional is due to CIA meddling.

He's literal a fanboy of that ladygarden thatcher so nope.

The way things are going the argies will get the fricklands plus reparations for RACISM from king abdullah al-kebab in about 20 years or so.

Is there literally any way in which he could succeed at that, though? I imagine if things got actually dire for the brits down there they'd tap on America's shoulder for air support, and a single US carrier group could probably rout the entirety of Argentina's navy and air force.

The Milei administration is the most pro-British in recent memory

It wouldn't work if he tried. The modern Argentinian military is a meme and ranks solidly behind even Chile who's way behind Brazil. The Falklands on the other hands is the most militarised possession of the UK in the world with a dedicated army and RAF base.

He said it would be unfair to annex the Falklands while Argentina is in its current state. He claims once Argentina rebounds and becomes an actual developed country then the Falklanders themselves will want to join, in other words it is not on his priority table.

Also the Argentine Armed Forces are in a terrible shape, they're in no condition of taking anything from anyone, I know people here love to make fun of Bongland but despite being much smaller than during it's heydey the Royal Navy is still a formidable force, they have nuclear subs, 2 large aircraft carriers and F35 fighters.

They should have listened to Thatcher and forcibly split up Germany

Fight me britbongs

Wasn't much of a fight last time, won't be this time either.

!soyteens or ?

>they call it a war but it was more of a conflict

A 'special () military operation'.

Don't forget the self hating Bongs and the Ir*sh tagging in to seethe about the last time the Uk was based
