“Sea-faring nation” ?? How absurd. The Falkland Islands is a colony of the fading British Empire. It is not a member of the United Nations. Stop this fantasy and get your facts right, please. Actually, I wish it would become an independent nation so that we here in England would not have to be subsidising you financially for ever and ever at the cost of our own needs.

Anglo DoubleSpeak...:

“Self Governing British Overseas Territory...” = Brutish Colony...

“Friendly fire...” = Anglo Trigger-happy Stupidity...

“Extraordinary rendition...” = Anglo Kidnapping...

“Enhaced interrogation...” = Anglo Torture...

“Collateral damage...” = Anglo Murder...

“Ex-Pat...” = Anglo Immigrant...

Etc..., etc..., etc...

Capisce...???

Ahh, where to begin:

Patagonia = Murderus Kurepi Planter occupied territory.

Conquest of the Desert = Ethnic cleansing of said Patagonia.

Friendly fire = Allowing Argy officers to keep sidearms after surrender so own men don’t kill
them with their bare hands.

Extraordinary rendition = Flying Nuns over the S. Atlantic.

Enhanced interrogation = S.O.P. for Argy Military Dictators, see: 'disapeared'

Collateral damage = Native population

Argy Ex-Pat = Refugee/economic migrant, see: next Venezuela
