The United Kingdom and our fourteen Overseas Territories are British.
This must remain the case for the Falkland Islands.

@VickyRichterUSA Where is this patriotism over Gibraltar and Chagos?
English
Hands Off the Falklands, Donald
Nothing says “leader of the free world” quite like threatening Britain’s closest ally status by flirting with Argentina’s claim to the Falklands because London would not salute every foreign-policy whim on command.
Reports that Washington reviewed support for Argentine sovereignty claims as leverage against the UK should outrage anyone who still believes alliances are built on principle rather than tantrums. The Falklands are British because the islanders overwhelmingly chose to remain British. In 2013, 99.8 per cent voted to stay a British Overseas Territory. That is called self-determination — unless, apparently, it becomes inconvenient.
Even Sir Keir Starmer, hardly known as a chest-thumping imperial romantic, had to state the obvious: sovereignty rests with the UK and the islanders’ wishes are paramount. Quite right too.
Veterans were blunter. They called it bullying. Fair description. Men fought and died in 1982 to defend those islands from invasion. Many still carry the scars. To use their sacrifice as a bargaining chip in some diplomatic sulk is not strategic genius. It is graceless politics.
And what exactly is the message here? Support every American military venture or Washington may suddenly rediscover sympathy for rival territorial claims? Charming. One imagines allies across Europe sleeping much easier.
The irony is rich. America lectures the world on democracy, then toys with disregarding the clear democratic will of Falkland Islanders because Downing Street was insufficiently enthusiastic elsewhere.
The Falklands are not a poker chip, not a punishment tool, and certainly not a stage prop for anyone’s ego. They are home to British people who made their choice.
Hands off the Falklands. Some things are not negotiable.

@RambleAndPint @SwareyDavid Sorry, the the UK military isn’t what it once
Was.
English
@SwareyDavid How have you come to possess the notion that we have "no military", my severely balding Yank friend?
English
The Argentinians and their American/ Jewish handlers leveraging The Falklands over the Zionist war with Iran, has united the British.
One Argentinian foot on The Falklands and we bomb Buenos Aires. Don't confuse temporary weakness, with a permanent loss of strength.

@penkalaa1 @Ribaldo59 @C_McMitchell @WarMonitor3 You mean the French don’t you? They armed Argentina.
English
@Ribaldo59 @C_McMitchell @WarMonitor3 Sure, you dog Israel armed Argentina during this war declassifieduk.org/how-israel-sec…
English
Argentina should remember 1982.
And this time your economy is even worse…
English
@C_McMitchell @WarMonitor3 Unfortunately, with what? UK is poorer than the poorest state in the U.S. UK can’t project power anymore.
English
@WarMonitor3 We destroyed them then, we'll destroy them now.
English
@JamesBriscoe1 @Dgingsz @ScottMGreer Only a temporary situation. UK is now poorer than the poorest state in the USA. Living standards have fallen over the last 40years and Argentina is a booming economy. In the next 10 years, Argentina will be a force to be reckoned with.
English
@Dgingsz @ScottMGreer They are welcome to try and let’s see what happens. The Falklands is far more militarised than it was in 1982 and Argentina’s military is far weaker
English
Dumb. The British easily won the war over it and Falklanders want to stay with the UK. It’s British territory

@JamesBriscoe1 @BuffaloCompact @ScottMGreer There are more immigrant Muslims in the UK than the entire population of Wales. Think on that.
English
@JamesBriscoe1 @ScottMGreer Would that include Starmer? He’d more than happy to hand them back if the UN put pressure on him
English
@ScottMGreer Patriot, anyone who doesn’t back British sovereignty over the Falklands is a third-worldist
English
@Courage69861986 @ScottMGreer That will be good news for the Turks. They are more than happy to occupy the rest of the country today.
English
@ScottMGreer The citizens of Cyprus don’t want two British bases on their island. Since we’re asking the citizens now.
English
@ScottMGreer 40 years ago…
Today with UN pressure, Starmer will hand them over before another war… UK is only a shadow of the power it used to project.
English
@JMilei No, there were Spanish long before Argentina existed. They were NEVER Argentina. Never.
English
@BrigitteOhNo Unfortunately decades of weak leadership in the UK has bullied the UK into submission. This is a tit of tat geopolitical stance of Gibraltar and Chagos islands.
English
If we lose the Falklands we need to kick every single US service person and their family out of this country and our sovereign areas.
BBC News (UK)@BBCNews
Falklands is a pressure point for the UK – and the US knows it bbc.in/4vQ9q46
English
What are you talking about - the USA has broken Russia influence; Syria, Venezuela, Iran and Cuba. Russian allies are dropping like flies, military exports gone! In the process USA has blunted Chinese influence. All while the EU debates what to do in Ukraine - the USA is the only country fighting Russia internationally. Instead of recognizing USA, you complain the USA is doing nothing for the Ukraine and a puppet of Putin. You’re an absolute hypocrite and ignorant of what is happening around you - Germany & Austria still uses Russian energy, France still uses Russia to reprocess nuclear materials. If you want to help Ukraine, get the EU to put troops on the ground and fight. While the USA is fighting Russia internationally
English
@GlobalUpdates24 Trump has been grooming his gullible MAGA cult to treat the USA’s closest neighbours and oldest allies as enemies since his first term although I can’t think why.
English
Trump has unintentionally stirred up patriotism among British people
All British politicians and citizens across party lines are condemning Trump's threats over Falkland Islands
English
@GlobalUpdates24 Sadly the UK is shamed into flying the patriot flags of the UK…. It takes a foreigner to bring out the best of British
English
No sorry. This is a failure of the UK to retain its international sovereignty: Gibraltar, Chagos Island. Sharks have smelt blood in the water and the UK is oblivious. Either the UK steps up international or just melts away into the background…. Look at how Spain had to give up its sovereignty to the UN in the 50’s-80’s.
English
The US position on the Falklands is a real betrayal when you consider the wars Britain has joined them in for the last 40 years

@WarMonitor3 No, UK does not have the political will or the stomach to do it again. An example is Gibraltar and Chagos Islands. UK is happier to hand over land to appease the UN.
English
Falkland Islands Briths military force deployment map 1982:
Britain before was able to supply a large marine force thousands of miles from our coast, we could do it again.
WarMonitor🇺🇦🇬🇧@WarMonitor3
Argentina has called for renewed talks over Britains sovereignty over the Falkland Islands. I just cannot believe this is happening...
English
You forgot Syria. Each of these countries were strong Russia allies - no more. The USA has destroyed Russian influence, military export markets and systemically alienated Russia on the international stage. If he IS a thief, then I thankfull that he is breaking down Russian and Chinese influence at the expense of the EU. You want USA to die in Ukraine, but yet you complain about USA breaking apart Russia and Chinese influence….
English
@AdamKinzinger Trump knows exactly what he's doing. He's a thief. He's going to Iran, Venezuela, Nigeria, Greenland and now the Falkland Islands
English
The Falkland Islands are the UK.
Can’t believe this is now a thing we need to say
English
What does that even mean? The USA is on a campaign to build relationships with partners to counter China influence. This is a quick win for the Monroe Doctrine. For decades the UK has proven incapable of being a strong geopolitical partner with countless number of weak leadership leaving UK exposed to foreign influence. Ukraine is an EU disaster, Germany Austria being dependent of Russia Energy, France still has nuclear material reprocessed in Russia. EU doesn’t want to step up its NATO spending - why? EU has been compromised by China, and fails to see the threat right infront of them.
English
@AdamKinzinger Trump wants to take resources from Ukraine to defend the Falklands again, he's compromised
English
@AdamKinzinger It’s political, UK has had decades of weak leadership leaving the country vulnerable. USA is on a campaign of building SA allies against China. US doesn’t see th UK as a strong geopolitical partner anymore.
English
@ArmchairAdml Lessons from the Suez Canal forgotten. UK bullied itself into submission with successive decades of weak leadership. UK can no longer stand tall on the international stage. Falklands falls under the Monroe Doctrine - unless the UK can assert itself.
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.
