Argentina will use no-deal Brexit to take back Falkland Isla

[McAz]

I rather suspect that the reason we kicked the Argies off the Falklands had nowt to do with them 'wishing to remain British' and a lot more to do with this.

Whatever it was it wasn't morality or principle. 10 years earlier Heath finished the job of forcibly removing 2000 British subjects (the entire indigenous population) from the the Chagos Islands to Mauritius to make way for a Yankee military base.

That’s why we want the islands, fuck the islanders and the British!

Why do you live in a country you despise?
Try St Helena.

Consider our reaction had the Argies claimed the Orkneys a couple of centuries back, then you will understand their view of the Malvinas.

On that basis France should invade the Channel Islands.
Malaysia should invade Singapore.
Britain should reclaim Calais and whole of northern France.
Should I go on?
1,521 KM Beunos Aries to the Falklands.
Argentina took over British Patagonia, even today there are entire Welsh Scottish Irish and English communities living there and because they were there before the Spanish your arguments London really ought to reclaim British Patagonia.

You were asked to consider their view, not a justification for invasion. No rock is worth killing for.

I agree. Withdrawal from NATO, unilateral disarmament, scrapping of military purchase contracts, closing armaments industry down and stopping all arms sales plus sacking the armed forces.
The arms workers and armed forces will all be on welfare but it’s for the best, someone in this world needs to take the lead.

So why did Argentina invade?

[Guest]

Argentina could take advantage of uncertainty caused by a no-deal Brexit to bring the Falkland Islands back under its control, the country’s foreign minister has said.

Jorge Faurie suggested that Buenos Aires would exploit looser diplomatic ties between the UK and Brussels to “enhance” its position, as EU treaties will cease to apply and member states will no longer have to support the UK’s claim to the islands.

The comments came after a meeting with foreign secretary Jeremy Hunt amid uncertainty over the legal status of the UK’s overseas territories after Brexit.

Does anyone really care? (not me)

Can Germany take back East Prussia then?

Political opportunism, same reason Thatcher decided to send the task force. Both gambled they could win but Galtieri lost the bet.

So it’s okay for Argentina to invade Rocks but not Britain.
Odd set of principles?

Yes you are odd. Why do you think that?

[LordRaven]

Self determination is clearly key in this matter and the Islanders voted overwhelmingly to remain a British Colony.
Had they voted to change allegiance to Argentina then I would respect that, but the fact is they did not.
Their culture history and sense of being is British and therefore we should all respect their democratic wishes.

Unless you are anti-democracy.

No-one has the right to vote for others to die - fuck their democracy.
