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. pic.twitter.com/aHRGQVIzIs

You disgusting worms, I can read in TWELVE DIFFERENT LANGUAGES. I have a MA in English and a doctorate in Education...

You're not on my level, trust me. So take a MOTHERFRICKING SEAT & leave my people alone.

Why did either of these countries care about this island so much? It seems pretty insignificant to fight over for either party.
My first and only real exposure to the war was the Top Gear special where the Argentinians chimp out over a license plate.

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

They have a good case. The British have a good case too.
It should be possible to reach a compromise, like the British keep the islands and the Argentines get the EEZ or something. But humans are way too neurodivergent and r-slurred for that.

@SonAmyHeartbreakCompany doth wonder...
!latinx !neolibs !historychads assuming that he succeeds in turning Argentina into the perfect ancap utopia he wants, would Milei ever consider retaking Las Malvinas? Or at least try to negotiate a takeover? I know he's pretty nationalistic, but as a lolbert guy I'm not sure if that's something he would desire (especially since those cringe af Peronists tried to earlier and fricked up hard)...

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.

A lot of frigates with plenty of anti-naval missiles might work. It would take 5 years tops (
) to get there, but everyone in the world would notice.
The other problem is maintaining the supply. Assuming they can carry out the amphibious assault with 5k soldiers, they'd need to keep shipping supplies over, but at that point the UK and eventually the US could blockade the islands.
It would be really expensive for them to gain a shitty little set of islands.

Depends on America's appetite for wasting gunpowder on protecting British overseas territory yet again. Sometimes they send a million men to die over it, sometimes they tell the queen they'll dissolve her banking system if she doesn't surrender.

It only took a little baby British helicopter carrier with one of those gay takeoff ramps with Harriers on it to win the last one. (Tbf it was actually really close and if a few rolls of the dice went the other way Argentina would have won.)
The Argentinian military was actually pretty strong then. They had a good air force with modern weapons, the French Super Etendard/Exocet, which unfortunately for them was defective kinda like how the French sold everyone hemophilia drugs infected with literal AIDS at the same time. I'm a hardcore francophile but that was a bad time.
Anyway my point is, Argentina's military capabilities now are minimal. They (rightly) decided not to pay billions of dollars keeping it up the last 40 years. It would take at least a decade to buy new stuff and train guys on it before they could think of even taking on Britain's pathetic remnant of an empire.

It's a miracle they won the Falklands war they simply didn't have the logistics to support such an operation and had to commandeer container ships to use as helicopter landing ships. If the Argentina's were a little more competent they would have lost.

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.

AlbertOther Notorious Pervert connection.Gibraltar is also where the SAS murdered 3 IRA terrorists in cold blood in front of thousands of people, which iirc led to the funeral massacre by the prot terrorist. And then the funeral for them, British "plainclothes soldiers" (this is actually the term they used
) made a wrong turn and accidentally drove into it and security dragged them out of the cars and killed them.

Yes. It is an actual war crime going back forever. You're not a legal combatant if you're hiding in civilian clothes.
The British always wanted to treat it like this was just law enforcement and there wasn't a war going on. Despite there being places in the country that could only be resupplied by helicopter because a hostile army controlling the territory. A lot of people died because they would never own up to what they were involved in.

Gervais is a decent comedian, it's just his face that's offputting, like a toddler that you know's going to gnaw your face off the moment you break eye contact.
As for 'this guy' (I honestly cannot remember his name) he was just another British actor (I saw him in Doctor Who and The History Boys) until he went to America, the only place a 'comedian' with as little talent as he has could actually make it big.
