@RT_com The US can review what it likes, the UK is a sovereign nation, the US stance has no bearing whatsoever on our sovereignty in the Falkland Islands!

'IF THEY FEEL ENGLISH, GO BACK TO ENGLAND'
Argentina’s VP Victoria Villarruel sends blunt message to Falkland Islanders, following leaked Pentagon email — The Times
Email suggests US could review its stance on UK's claim to Falklands as punishment for lack of support in Iran
English
@DownHomeJohn @TheGriftReport 😂 that would be a British settlement, so, unless you’re claiming to be one of the Powhatan, that just makes you descendant from colonisers! Hypocrite.

@BritVeteranU @TheGriftReport Matter of fact I fad family at Jamestown in 1608. Dumb ass.

Argentina’s Vice President sparks outrage by telling Falkland Islanders ‘if you feel English go back to Britain’
Victoria Villarruel declared the Kelpers are “English people who live in Argentine territory” and are “not part of the discussion” over the islands’ sovereignty.
She posted “Today more than ever the Malvinas are Argentine” and insisted the dispute is strictly between Argentina and the United Kingdom.
In a direct reply to a social media user she added “If they feel English they should go back to the thousands of miles away where their country is.”
President Javier Milei backed the claim writing “The Malvinas were are and will always be Argentine.”
Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper hit back saying “The Falkland Islands are British. Sovereignty rests with the UK and self-determination rests with the islanders.”

@DownHomeJohn @TheGriftReport Doesn’t matter, you’re not likely a descendant of either.

@BritVeteranU @TheGriftReport First off the Solutrean people were here before the Clovis people.

@DownHomeJohn @TheGriftReport That’s rich coming from an American, you realise the NativeAmericans feel the same way about your presence in the Americas?

@TheGriftReport I support the Americas. Europe out of our hemisphere!

@AndNum26 The British landed on and claimed the islands in 1592, before Spain, Before the Union and before Argentina!
English
The islands already belonged to Spain when UK tried to settle them. Aegentina is the legitimate heir of the former Viceroyalty of Rio de la Plata.

The Falklands situation is so dumb. If Argentinians used the same rationale that they used against the British they would have to give their land to the natives. In fact they only had a "permanent population" for less than 10 years and no administrative/ military presence .
English
@AndNum26 The Islands were entirely unoccupied until 1765, when they were first claimed by the British who established a garrison at Port Egmont.
English
@florenciarietto Since when, I think you took them for a few days then got your arses kicked and we took them back. The first recorded landing was in 1592 by a British Captain, over 219 years before Argentina existed!!
English
F****off. Las Malvinas son Argentinas.
Elisa Mosini 🇪🇺🇮🇹@MosiniElisa
Argentinians, you can insult and threaten me as much as you want. I’m not afraid to say the truth: your claim over the Falklands is a form of violence against the inhabitants who have lived on the islands for almost two centuries. The Falklands are British.
Español
@mediceneljefe @JMilei We established the first landing in 1592, 219 years before Argentina existed. So, go find another battle elsewhere!
English
@icardo8 True but the English have had a presence since 1765 when they claimed the islands, the Argentines claimed them in 1832 when the country changed from Spanish to Union to Argentinian however the British still had occupancy and evicted the Argentine forces. We claimed them in 1592!
English
Otro inglés que no sabe historia.
En 1813 Argentina existía y ustedes invadieron.
El referéndum no es válido porque votaron los colonos invasores.

It really is staggering that Argentinians still think they have any claim over the Falkland Islands when: 1) The British owned the Falklands before Argentina even existed 2) In the 2013 referendum, 99.8% of residents said they want to remain under United Kingdom rule 🤡
Español
@baruch_marzel The islands are British, we’ve had a presence there since the 1700’s before Argentina was even a consideration.
English
The English people have historically been a conquering nation, and the time has come for them to stop holding territories that are not theirs. Leave the Malvinas Islands. The State of Israel stands with Argentina and supports its full and sovereign right over all the islands, out of a belief in historical justice.
Javier Milei@JMilei
LAS MALVINAS FUERON, SON Y SIEMPRE SERÁN ARGENTINAS. VLLC!
English
@isaacrrr7 😂 yes, save this tweet so we can ridicule you at a later date!!
English
@irishpatriot91 😂 there has been a British presence on the islands since 1765, well before the Spanish or the United Province and the eventual Argentina. So, no, we can’t “give them back” as they were never yours!
English
Javier Milei demands the Falkland Islands back illegal UK occupation since 1833 must end! Leaked Trump Pentagon emails now weigh ditching US support for Britain over the Falklands as Iran leverage. Global power is shifting. The Rothschilds are falling!
English
@Argenpoirot No, they’ve never been, aren’t and never will be Argentine!
English
El Reino Unido reclama soberanía sobre las Islas Malvinas, ubicadas a miles de kilómetros y SEPARADAS por OCÉANOS,
Pero al mismo tiempo CUESTIONA el derecho de Israel sobre territorios PROPIOS como Judea y Samaria y Jerusalén.
¿Alguien puede explicar esta CONTRADICCIÓN?

@Khaledhzakariah If U.K. overseas lands are attacked then it doesn’t matter how far away it is, you attack our kand, you attack us!
English
I am a British citizen, and I will always be immensely grateful, and loyal, to Britain.
But if Argentina attacked the Falkland Islands (which is highly unlikely), I won't be fighting in this war.
I have learned from the British government and the British public (polls prove this) that any war that takes place far away from our shores (the Falklands are 8000 miles away), is just "not our war", especially that, in over 10 years in Britain, I've never even met anyone with any connections to the Flaklands.
Sorry, folks, but I shall be calling on both sides to "de-escalate" and "negotiate". You know, "war is never the solution" and all that shit.
Might also organise a few "pro-peace" marches and wave an Argentinian flag.
What do you reckon?
P.S: I would never do this. Just want to demonstrate exactly how it feels to be stabbed in the back by people you expected would stand by you.
On a serious note, there will come a time when the British government, military, and everyone who was ever involved in decision-making will learn that what goes around, comes around.

El USS Nimitz ya se encuentra en aguas argentinas en apoyo a nuestras fuerzas armadas para prácticas en conjunto.
Gran Bretaña tiene miedo....

@ladymarketok They’ve never been Argentine, they were Spanish and uninhabited. So, they never were, aren’t and won’t ever be Argentine!

No capo. Las Malvinas fueron, son y serán Argentinas. 🇦🇷

@ianmiles Keep to Dubai chap, leave the Falklands to the ones with actual involvement.

Argentina needs to seize the Falklands. Islas Malvinas.

NEW: Javier Milei declares the Falkland Islands — currently under UK control — “were, are, and will always be Argentine.”
