    The Falklands is not 'Argentine territory' and never will be. Get used to it.

    ”[It] happened to us with the TIAR (Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance) which obliged all countries in the continent to come to our defense when we were attacked in our territory by an extra-American power...“

    ”It happened to us“. So Argentina is the victim?? Does that woman really believe that Argentina was ATTACKED by an ”extra-American power“? So Argentina did not start that war? Or was it no war but a ”special military operation”? I can see certain similarities between Argentina in 1982 and Russia today. They invade territories which they think (or wish) belong to them.The difference is the Ukraine was controlled Russia/Soviet Union about 300 years, but Argentina just had a small presence in the Falklands a few years in the beginning of the 19th century. Ukraina has the right to decide if they want to join Russia (and after this brutal invasion the answer is of course a big fat NO). And the Falkland Islands have the same right to decide if they want to join Argentina (and the answer is also a big fat NO).

    The FIG was installed on Malvinas by the government in London to create the semblance of political independence in order to mask their usurpation of Argentina's settlement and eclipse its historical political rights to the archipelago, and for the islanders to believe they have somehow some kind of complete political autonomy to create the fiction of rights to the islands. The islanders never earned their own sovereign right to self determination, they never settled on the islands in a wholistic sense of their own doing, for their own exclusive purpose of destiny. They went there under the umbrella of UK governmental authority, not their own authority. They went there for Britain on a narrative premise of going there for their own reasons and purposes, except in reality in its ultimate source and reason, for London. BOT's are just a trick for Britain to no longer appear like an expansionist imperialist power, but the truth is that if it talks like and empire, it walks like an empire, it acts like an empire, it's an empire. London USES the islanders, and the islanders play the part for their own comfortable convenience, chiming along with the victimized narrative of the poor souls being antagonized by the Argentinians, when in reality they are being victimized by the UK.
    Today the English language is the largest most proliferous disseminator of propagandist misinformation IN THE WORLD, and the Ukraine war is clearly revealing that. These countries don't even care to cover up their lies anymore, in fact they can't. Just like they couldn't with Bolivia and Venezuela. That's why they are going crazy trying to figure out how to control and undetectably sensor the internet.

    ‘trying to figure out how to control and undetectably sensor the internet’

    No ‘trying’ about it, already being done, just you don’t realise it.

    It's wonderful to see Trimonstruosidades supporting Putin in the Ukraine. It reminds us who in here supports torture, rape, and murder of helpless civilians. I certainly look forward to reading about the same happening to individuals (note I would never use ”people,) that he cares about deeply. Life's funny that way, like the sardonic grin of a skull...
