Playing the long game!

And Argentina is only now starting to wake up to the fact.

Fancy that. Panamanian lawmakers visit the Falklands and see for themselves the actual situation.

Then they realise that Argentina has been lying through their teeth for years, so these lawmakers begin to push for a change in Panama's position.

The 1st crack in the so-called LATAM solidarity is exposed (well there have actually been plenty - but this is the 1st overt crack), and other countries will begin to wonder about Argentina's truthfulness.

Then the oil will begin to flow and these countries will see business opportunities, and their people will see employment opportunities. And Argentina will be left behind to wallow in their own self-pity as usual.

Panamá has seen for itself that the Falklands/Malvinas have their own style of government which is democratically far far superior to the country which seeks to colonise them!

Panama controls one route between the Atlantic and Pacific. Chile and the Falkland Islands controls the other. The Falklands and Panama have much in common. Argentina controls a 12 mile strip of sea along its Atlantic coastline and the world Tango and whingeing championships.

Well done Panama.

The first, but I strongly suspect not the last Latam country to establish an official link with the Falklands.

This is not good news for TinPot, far from persuading the world to support Argentina (whatever he may claim), he is actually now on the defensive in his own back yard.

”the standing dialogue willingness repeatedly shown by Argentina”

Except when dialogue is offered of course. When it is offered, Argentina refuse it.

Wake up South America! there is now dialogue between Panamanians and Falkland Islanders.

How did your brainwashing of the Americas not stop this?
