The Great Game

1) the Falklands were originally illegally seized from Argentina in 1833. BUT they have been British ever since. 2) throughout the 1960s and 70s, Argentina negotiated in good faith to trade ownership. They offered concessions, such as “Falklanders won’t have to serve in rhe army.” The British teams all recommended the transfer. Each UK government punted it to the next. Was Argentina right to invade? Of course not. The Falklanders’ opinion should be taken into account! Plus the major reason for the attack was because the junta was looking for distractions. But I can’t help but think that it would be cheapest for Argentina to pay each Falklander a million dollars (costing about 3.5 billion) to move away.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump is considering PUNISHING the NATO countries which were UNHELPFUL to the US during the Iran operation, per WSJ Trump would move US troops OUT of those particular NATO countries, and station them in countries that SUPPORTED the US. No brainer. And then he should totally withdraw from NATO.

Meet Malvina Vernet (yes, named after the islands). Born there, forcibly expelled, and died near Buenos Aires longing to return—like many Palestinians. Yet it’s easier to empathize when the cause feels distant, not when your own country is responsible.

One possible important takeaway for Western leaders from the Iran clownshow: we must finally reject the idea that it is feasible for us to conduct foreign affairs on the basis of how much we approve of a particular government.

BREAKING: President Trump is considering a plan to "punish" some NATO countries by moving US troops out of countries which he deemed "unhelpful" to the Iran War, per WSJ. Details include: 1.

Countries that could benefit because they are viewed as supportive include Poland, Romania, Lithuania, and Greece, US officials said US-NATO relations appear to be degrading.

Todos los que afirman que Argentina nunca tuvo población en las Malvinas, sepan que es sencillamente mentira. Hasta 1833 hubo gobernador argentino, asentamientos argentinos y familias argentinas. Fueron todos expulsados por la fuerza.

I’m a lefty anti-imperialist, but Argentina is wrong on the Falklands The islands have never had an Argentinian population. Falklanders predate Argentina, and 99% voted to stay British This isn’t a colonial issue. It’s used by ARG's far right to distract from domestic problems.

Las Islas Malvinas hoy. Sin villas. Sin inflación. Aislados en el peor lugar para vivir del planeta. Disfruten este video. Superioridad anglosajona en todo su esplendor.
