Disclaimer & comment rulesBoy, you're all going to stick to that bullshit narrative now like a piece of chewing gum to the sole of a shoe! How about talking about the historical truth, and the real reasons why Britain made sure there was sooner or later a war on the islands?? You can't. You need to hysterically make it only about this fictitious right invented by the British which the islanders, in the case of the Malvinas/Falkland's don't have. And you're gonna keep working on that stage propped up set layer after layer us inhumanly caked on as the make up on Ms Truss's face is.

Even if some countries pay lip service to them nothing of course happens.Now there are much bigger conflicts around the world and the “Malvinas question” is of no interest to most people (if they have heard about it at all). The Brits are mostly silent because they feel they really do not need to talk about the obvious. Nice to hear some British politicians speak out about the Falklands.
Jun 15th, 2022 - 11:56 am - Link - Report abuse +2Yet another crazy rant from a bitter little man, the 3rd today, Falklands were British before the United Provinces existed and will be a BOT until they decide to become independent,

Jun 15th, 2022 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse -5Aside from the atrocious event of a mindless pack of generals about to be kicked out of power, Argentina had already begun incorporating the islands in a process that feebly started consolidating with the declaration by David Jewett in 1820, gaining patriotic girth by 1828. Argentina to this day is the only country to politically view the islands as requiring the bestowment of a full sense of sovereignty, reciprocally making the whole of its continental territory the home of the islanders and the whole of its government a place for its equal representation among all provinces. It is the British who have a “colonial mindset” and to this day device ways of using the islanders, and creating “projects” to shore up its own geopolitical territorial ambitions masked and decorated with all sorts of bullshit.
Argentina may not have given the islands the wealth Britain is able to splurge on them, but lets not lie and define things in ways that are untrue, but call things what they are Mr Summers, and stop trying so hard to feed the false narrative.
@Trimonde You certainly talk like a Colonialist ! what with your “Patriotic Girth”, and “Bestowment of Sovereignty”, just put up a picture of a Smiling Old Man and Your there! OH You already have with your profile picture.

Jun 15th, 2022 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse +2He continues to lament over the British Falkland Islands, without a thought to the indisputable facts, that
Spain stole Spanish America from the indigenous inhabitants violently at gun point
The United Provinces of Rio de la Plata violently at gun point stole its territory from Spain
Argentina violently at gun point stole the provinces Chaco, Formosa and Misiones from Paraguay
Argentina violently at gun point stole all of Patagonia south of Bahia Blanca from the indigenous inhabitants
In spite of that, Trimonde (obviously a Third World inhabitant), blabber about his missing ability to understand that the 7th, 8th, and 9th generation of people in the British Falkland Islands wants to stay British, just like 6 generations of their ancesters.
“Britain made sure there was sooner or later a war on the islands”

“The declaration by David Jewett in 1820”
“There is scarcely a Buenos Ayrean privateer which has not committed piracy of every description” John Quincy Adams July 20th, 1820. David Jewett, and Louis Vernet
Anyone else catch the hysterical nature of Trimonstruosidades' walls of verbiage? His frustration with the repeated failures of Peronism drives him on, typing rant after rant. At least it's free entertainment. ;)
