   This is stupid AF. Falklands irredentism is one of the topics which keeps Argentinans a Banana Republic
   
   Falklands are British, like it or not.
   
   They never populated the islands, and people living there (99.9%) consider themselves British.
   
   And whatever like it or not, British people claimed those islands before Spain.

     @waltercool Just on a karmic level I’d like to see the argies have it back, because the brits so happily threw away their empire on every other front….guess that’s like my stance on the A-10 thunderbolt and the Royal Navy. The country is so painfully gay and retarded today it doesn’t deserve to have cool things like antitank fighters and imperial settlements 3,000 miles away.

     This little fig leaf of honor in the falks is just cheesy, it’s halfway around the world and the navy’s smaller than ever. The BBC (and every state apparatus) loves the “melting pot” diversity bullshit on the home isle, anyways. They wanted to give away all their holdings since WWII, so hold to it and cut them all loose, why keep playing pretend?

     (my opinion tinted because of a longstanding gene-enmity w/ the british)

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @waltercool The libtard/conservitard/generalretard position is "they were going to give it back but the Argies proved they don't deserve it, so now it's the Brits' right and duty to keep it from them"
     
     In other words it's entirely geopolitical pettiness

     @nierenstein @waltercool Yeah, it’s even gayer that way. It’s a fig leaf that allows them to posture against a 2nd world country (that still managed to extract some embarrassment from them at their peak cold war readiness) and pretend they’re still the britain of old, that they still got it.

     “oh but they aren’t argentinians! You expect them to just give up their way of life?!?!“

     Yeah niggos, you literally turned your capital into a nigger-ridden 3rd world bazaar, and you send the (unarmed female) police to lecture anyone foolish enough to admit it publicly.

     They happily gave gave away the beating heart of their empire, the home to their throne to the dregs of the world. It’s offensive having to watch them keep pretending. Park the carriers and scrap the whole lot of them, give away your subs and pare down the RAF to a few trainers and a skyeye to lecture the russians from, sell it all off the pay for NHS dental care, from the reports it sounds like you all desperately need it
