Even at its weakest, the UK military still has overwhelming firepower compared to a smaller, underfunded force like Argentina.
This isn’t a close contest, not in capability, not in reach, not in experience.
The Falklands aren’t up for debate. They’re British, full stop.
Alex Armstrong@Alexarmstrong
Argentina spends $990 million dollars on defence, 80% of that is salaries and pensions. The UK spends $85 billion on defence. Milei has cut the military spending to its bare bones. In almost every category we are superior. They ain’t taking anything, just for the record.

@browndog319 @smoggy1536445 @Ctdinnovations His first term he gave them weapons. Obama gave thwm blankets.
English
@smoggy1536445 @Ctdinnovations No, he didn’t. His admin started going after Russian ghost fleet to stop them from shipping sanctioned oil. Last year, US increased oil supply to get oil below $60/barrel hurting our economy to bring Russia to its knees. EU still bought Russian gas & oil. Think again.

If anyone wonders why Britian belongs in Europe.
Look at the European outpouring to support us over the falklands.
Allies stand with allies.
America take note.
English
@smoggy1536445 @spell_slinger85 @Ctdinnovations So defend them. Nobody is stopping you. Have a draft train a army and take it. Dont ask American tax payers to do it for you.
English
@spell_slinger85 @Ctdinnovations Ukraine is European land, and on a path since its independence in the 90s to EU membership.
It's our ally.

@smoggy1536445 @Ctdinnovations @grok I dont see any of that as Trump standing against europe. Trying to get a peace deal is working for europe. Also, thwn from your perspective europe has been favoring russia over ukraine. In 2014 eurooe should have done something about Crimea. Instead you dummies bought more oil.
English
@MatsonCurt @Ctdinnovations @grok please list the instances to which trump has favoured russia or his actions have aided russia against europe and Ukraine during the russian invasion of Ukraine.
English
@smoggy1536445 @Ctdinnovations That might be the dumbest comment I read today. Trump is actively fighting a Russian proxy iran. Iran was supplying weapons to russia.
English
Russian invaded us, and America stood with us against our common enemy.
Trump pulled that, turned coat and befriended putin.
Stop pretending it wasnt you who betrayed us.
And whilst you left us to the russians you demand we help with your war of choice.
The betrayal was one way, and it was all trump

@smoggy1536445 We took note, that's the point. You not only didnt stand with America, you stood against.

An interesting difference between America and Canada, is on second languages Canadians can be expected to converse in French at least to grade 8 level. The Americans barely speak English, without slangs. English Canadians know when visiting their Quebec brothers and sisters outside of Montreal to open in French first. When in Europe, its habit for Canadians to open in the local language, out of respect. Its not a means of trying. We have been pushed to always lead with the local language then switch to English, or French. Its habitual in Canada, because of Quebec and English Canada a handshake essentially in language.

@CharleyXRP @ShawnPetriw At the end of ww2 the usa was manufacturing 50 percent of everything produced in the wolrd. We also were fighting Japan basically alone. They controlled 1/6 of the globe at one point.
English
Yeah and how did Omar Bradley do? Russia won the second world war Americans just came back in as the second bench and to help out a little bit. Omar Bradley, what are you a fucking idiot anyhow, people who quote other people obviously don't have a brain or else that have their own memorable statements
English
You people are missing the point. We don't need the Americans. Carney has signed one of the largest trade deals ever in the world with the brics countries. We're diversifying trade away from Americans that will cause shortage of Canadian goods and allow us to increase our prices. Moreover, we should cut our oil deliveries United States and we should cut off all our electricity and hydro to the United States. Enough is enough

"Canada is in a very weak position within CUSMA, whether we want to admit it or not. Mexico is likely to secure a deal with the U.S. first, again, leaving Canada to return to the table, make concessions it initially resisted—including granting greater access to its dairy market."

@CharleyXRP @WadeintheYYC @FoodProfessor Lol, please let us know the dollar amount of those goods. 😆
English
Transportation's really not an issue. Many countries and are doing it now are paying a premium for Canadian products. Because of our climate policy, our carbon policy and our standing in the world. They'd rather do business with a safe, reliable country than the Americans who at the drop of a hat will unilaterally change trade deals, trade negotiations and they don't follow any contract that they've written or agreed to
English
@IanJaeger29 Europe is working against the interest of America. So fair game.
English
French President Emmanuel Macron claims that President Trump is “working against” the interests of Europe.
English
@ArmchairAdml We should give you zero security. Why should the American tax payer supplement your military when you haven't lived upto your 2 percent for nato.
English
Once again evidence that we cannot rely on America for our security.
I’m not saying we can’t work with them, or buy some of their military equipment, but we CANNOT rely on them the way we have.

@Canada4Europe @Docsdaddy1 @TheTrut04639288 Lol, totally destroyed their capabilities, half way around the world. With 8 percent of our military. The logistics of just having to cross the border would be a very bad couple of hours for canada.
English
@Docsdaddy1 @TheTrut04639288 You can’t even win in Iran tough guy 🤣
Instead of talking tough on the internet you should go research the military analysis about how destabilizing Canada will be the end of the US and shut the fuck up
English
Apparently Canada is restricted from making bourbon because it is region protected by CUSMA. But if the deal gets scrapped, we can make our own, and that will be a sad day for Kentucky
English
@Canada4Europe @TheTrut04639288 Pretty sure poisoning downstream water would end canada as a nation.
English
America is the only country with buying power.
Real power comes from supplier power. America doesn’t have the potash, America doesn’t have the rare earth minerals, they don’t have the fresh water for the future water wars. We are positioned in such a way that if we wanted, we could poison their downflow water supply.
People underestimate our power because the weak premier won’t let us ban potash exports and give the yanks a little famine

@Tablesalt13 I love this, I dont want a deal with canada. So keep talking.

@Tazerface16 @Apok____ @michikoconuts Wow, you are so smart, It seems like you know everything, please tell us more.

@Apok____ @michikoconuts Sure.
Shitty little banks should go under.
Spirit handles less than 1% of domestic traffic, has gone bankrupt multiple times, and is literally considered the worst airline in the country.
What is worth saving, dumbfuck?

Dear MAGA, you do understand that Trump bailing out Spirit Airlines is socialism, correct?
