Argentina expects more support from the EU on the “Malvinas issue” after Brexit
Since the Falkland Islands ceased to be a European Union (EU) Community overseas territory after the Brexit, Argentina seeks more support from the bloc in the negotiation claim with the United Kingdom on the South Atlantic British territory. It was explained by the Argentine Secretary of Malvinas, Antarctica, and South Atlantic, Guillermo Carmona in an interview with EFE. Read full article

Feb 05th, 2022 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse +2That resolution clearly states that the “interests” of the inhabitants of the Falkland Islands will be taken into account. Clearly it's not in the interests of the islanders to have anything to do with Argentina. End of argumant.
“What his country seeks is that the United Kingdom “complies with international law”, which implies, according to resolution 2065 of the United Nations General Assembly, that it “sits down at the negotiating table” with Argentina.”

Spot on. Relevance of Title by Conquest Today
Where then stands the law on conquest today? According to Jennings, the current disposition of vast territory would be thrown into doubt, if the view were accepted that changes in the rules of governing territorial acquisition had retroactive effect on acquisitions accomplished under older rules. (The Finnish Yearbook of International Law, 1998, p226 quoting, Jennings R.Y., The Acquisition of Territory in International Law, 1963, p53-56).

The Treaty of Rome established the principle that the Overseas Territories of Member States were recognised by the then EEC. This was reaffirmed by Maastericht. The EU has regularly re-affirmed that it recognises the Falkland Islands as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom, and this is a firm legal position. The fact that the UK has left the EU does not change the EUs understading of the relationship between the two.

Had the EU included the Falkland Islands in Brexit negotiations, the spotlight would have been shone on French, Belgian and Spanish overseas territories, particularly in the Caribbean and S. American mainland. Britain is always the bad guy as far as Argentina are concerned, they continually turn a blind eye to other European countries having colonial interests.

Skippy Jessop is the sock- puppet of the malignant narcissist Chicureo.
Projection
“The most common way narcissists create alternative narratives is by projecting. If they say that the other person is jealous of them, then you know that the narcissist is jealous. If they say that the other person was lying and cheating, they were the one lying and cheating. But more often than not whatever the narcissist is presenting the other person as is a much more accurate description of the narcissist. The mechanism here is that in the narcissists mind they try to attribute their own unhealthy behavior, perspective, and character traits to the other person because it shifts attention and responsibility from them. And if the other person is all these bad things, then it can’t be that I am these things thinks the narcissist I’m the good guy here.”

“Narcissism and the use of fantasy
In sample 1, it was found that (1) narcissistic individuals experience achievement, heroic, sexual, hostile, self-revelation, and future-oriented daydreams; and (2) these six types of daydreams represent a coherent “narcissistic” fantasy style. In sample 2, narcissistic individuals who were experiencing higher levels of daily stress report using more self-admiration, power and revenge, and suffering fantasies to cope with stress. The narcissistic theme of entitlement is uniquely related to narcissistic fantasy and the narcissists' use of sustaining fantasies to cope with stress. Results are consistent with clinical literature on the narcissistic personality.”

“How Narcissists Play the Victim and Twist the Story
Delusion and denial
Narcissists simply want to know that they are in the right. For that, they need false validation to regulate their shaky self-esteem. They need to find people who would agree with them. … or the narcissist needs to lie and present a different story than what is actually true.
Here, they tend to flip the roles where they are good, noble, caring, virtuous and the other person is evil, cruel, selfish, and immoral. Which brings us to the next point.
Projection
The most common way narcissists create alternative narratives is by projecting. We’ve talked about narcissistic projection in a separate article but to extract the main point, narcissists love to project.
If they say that the other person is jealous of them, then you know that the narcissist is jealous. If they say that the other person was cruel to them, then you know that the narcissist was cruel to the other person. If they say that the other person was lying and cheating, then you know they were the one lying and cheating.
Yes, sometimes it’s not as simple and there could be unhealthy behavior on both sides, but more often than not whatever the narcissist is presenting the other person as is a much more accurate description of the narcissist.
Whatever the case may be, the mechanism here is that in the narcissists mind they try to attribute their own unhealthy behavior, perspective, and character traits to the other person because it shifts attention and responsibility from them. And if the other person is all these bad things, then it can’t be that. I am these things thinks the narcissist I’m the good guy here.”

Well, the U.K. has left E.U. Perhaps some European countries do not feel that they are “obliged” to support Britain in the same way now. But why should they really support Argentina? As far as I can see the “Malvinas Question” is a “non-issue” for most Europeans. It is almost never on the news agenda here. Few care about it. Younger people do not remember the war in -82 and have perhaps not even heard about this conflict. There are so many more important and bigger conflicts around the world. Today both Great Britain and Argentina are outside of the E.U. So perhaps the E.U. is more “neutral” today than it was when a Member State was involved. But most people in Europe are still great friends of Britain which they consider a friendly neighbour, which they often visit. Argentina, on the other hand is is a country far away, associated with military juntas, failing economy, and known for giving refuge to war criminals such as Mengele or Eichmann. And, most important, the U.K. is still a more important trading partner for most Europeans.

Why do any of the myths and fantasies above give Argentina more rights to the Falklands, than the Amerindians they displaced in Patagonia far later?
