Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.
Britain should give Argentina the Falklands because they won the world cup. It’s your own game, England! it’s more than fair!
Inside you are two wolves
One of them wants to post, "Sink England into the sea lmao unlimited genocide on the first world"
The other is deeply concerned about defending British territorial claims in South America
You are a Hexbear poster
China recently renamed Okinawa to Ryukyu in its internal nomenclature and Xi was reported specifically talking about Ryukyu’s historical connections with China.
Seems like we’re entering the “two can play at that game” stage of Chinese diplomacy.
They’re really going through every country and finding an island to support the independence of lol
China backing the independence of whatever the inhabitants of North Sentinel Island call themselves
the most cursed independence movement to support would be pitcairn who only want to leave because they want to abolish age of consent laws
Put all English people in the Falklands, then partition England between Scotland and Wales
This is the way
Don’t Argentina’s claims basically come from it being part of the same Spanish colony? Cause idk that doesn’t sound very de-colonialist to me.
but like, on serious note, this is probably just China doing the whole ‘East Turkestan is a real country’ shit but in reverse.
A lot of you are to the right of the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/07/british-sovereignty-falklands-absurd-imperial-hangover-argentina
In 2012 it was estimated that British taxpayers paid more than £20,000 per islander for defence alone, and approximately one-third of the population worked for the government.
Surely this is an independent population that exists for reasons other than to be a military foothold in South America.
IMO, it should just become a separate country, or at the very least demilitarized. And no, the Argentine government of today isn’t the same as back then. They aren’t just going to invade because the British fuck off.
Even a previous UK government wanted to just hand them over: https://declassifieduk.org/no-strategic-value-to-us-when-the-uk-planned-to-give-the-falklands-to-argentina/
