Say what you will about Margaret Thatcher, jokes about buying everyone in Scotland a shovel so they can deliver her to Satan personally are hilarious, but curbstomping those stupid Argies was the greatest thing ever. Argentina has a lot in common with the American South. Delusions of past grandeur, inability to admit wrongdoing, inability to get over losing, endless whining, and electing bumbling retards. Their reaction to an imagined slight by Top Gear was far more violent (And probably backed by the government) than when the Alabama white trash reacted to intentional insult from the show.

Fun facts about the Falklands:
The people living there hate Argentina, even more so since the war, and recently voted to remain British. "Not fair, I only believe in self-determination when it works for me!"
They were uninhabited by the time the British colonized, so not stolen from anyone.
Most Argentinians are of European descent, for some nice contrast their ancestors did steal a country from a native population.
Argies are loving stupid.

They probably aren't, but both the British and Argentinians hope they will be.

All there will end up being is massive disappointment and a Repsol-funded Argentinian invasion of somewhere that does actually have oil and gas like that one bit of Bolivia which is conveniently on the border.

It's like someone made a musical about Eva Braun. Madonna is exactly the kind of moron who would star in an adaptation of this, and lo and behold 15 years later she directs a movie about Nazi sympathizer and generally lovely person Wallis Simpson. Because her little lizard brain reasons that it's a magical love story.

realtalk though, the falklands war is practically the only mid-scale naval/air war the world has seen since world war II, and even the lovely argentine air force sunk six considerably modern british warships and damaged a bunch of other ones.

and now neocons want the U.S. to go to war with iran, which has the whole persian gulf targeted with even better chinese anti-ship missiles lol. and doesn't even have to fly actual airplanes to fire them.

I love the commonality that make Argentine Malvinas a thing for Irish nationalists. British people took your country? Hey, us too! Let's be friends!

Apparently there was an Irish adventurer who became an admiral in the Argentine navy and helped them fight the Brits back in the day, and there's still a song about him covered by the pro-IRA bands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BniyC33QdjM


quote:

And the Southern Cross take note where bold Willie Bullfin wrote
The Irish still support you Argentina
With the Empire tumbling down let no Paddies back the crown
"Las Islas Malvinas, Argentinas"

Gonna be lol when the tpp goes through and american corporations start seizing Argentine state assets for all those defaulted loans

Its good the Kirchener administration has used all their time and money on more important things, like subsidizing soccer tickets and requiring the phrase "The Malvinas are Argentine" to be placed on public transportation

I didn't say it had any bearing on who has rightful claim to that island. Just that it's almost certain that amerinds went there and noticed there weren't any trees or w/e and said fts

A country of Italians who speak Spanish and act British.

Seriously, Argentina is like 98% European or Levantine descended. It and Uruguay are the whitest places in the Americas.

It's funny because Argentinians run around saying they own the Falkland islands based on no legal pretext in the same way they run around telling everyone they are white Europeans. No-one believes them or listens to them any more and boy do they get mad when you point out how wrong they are.
