I can see why; a few decades of non-stop collapsing empire and then some lovely south american dictatorship thinks it can get away with straight up stealing one of your colonies? Yea, getting to finally draw a line in the stand and stomp the poo poo out of some lovely army would be a big deal.

it's a confusing issue because 99.9% of the time the UK is on the wrong and evil side of a conflict. Argentina is just so dumb they joined an exclusive club with basically just nazi germany in terms of managing to be worse than the Brits :godwin:

on a scale of 1 to 10 jean luc picards smashing the display case in star trek: first contact, how mad are we talking?

Argentinians genuinely believe they are basically white Europeans and therefore better than all these Latinos they have to live around, which is why Latin America hates them so much. No one in Europe thinks of Argentinians as anything other than South Americans so they get pretty mad about that. I'd say a 6.

Whenever you point out there's no legal basis for their claims on the Falklands they get super mad, like definitely a enterprise model display case smashing mad. I mean they have these big rallies where the President tells them all about how it's only a matter of time until they evict the imperialist yolk and a literal mob chased Jeremy Clarkson out of the country because he happened to have a licence plate that could be contrived to refer to the Falklands war.

I mean the level of anger is probably about equal to one of those US guys from the deep south after they heard Target had implemented a "No guns in the store" policy. They were all mad about the second amendment and none of them stopped to appreciate the irony of a store called "Target" banning guns.

Yeah, there are a few Rules to talking with Argentines. Unless you're ready to smile and nod at a shitload of irrationality, don't call them South American/Latin/Hispanic, and don't go anywhere near the Falklands issue.

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.
whoa check your nationalist fervor

and i'd hardly call that a curb stomping it was a little dicey for a few seconds, iirc them exocet antiship missiles were destined for the lone uk carrier and only changed target accidentally to hit the merchant supply ship

if they hit that carrier you'd all be speaking argentinese right now

My favourite example of Argentine dissonance is the Belgrano incident. The Argentinian navy accepts it was a legitimate act of war, but their politicians keep bleating about it being a war crime. It wasn't a war crime.

In any case, the Falklands issue is just a way of distracting Argentinians from their lovely, lovely economy. People are angry, so politicians give them something external to be angry about.

Argentina keeps trying to be an Orwellian dystopia but they're too incompetent to even do that right.

They pass ever-more draconian laws, people just shrug and head back into the nearest arbolito to change their toilet pesos into dollars like they do every other day.

Even argentinians don't really give a poo poo about Argentina.

Argentina is an awesome place to visit, so long as you can leave whenever you want. Pretty much every Argentine who can get a foreign passport (usually Italian) already has one.

you can really thank the U.S. for the argentinian defeat in 1982. because the u.s. did a lot of training and advising there during the dirty war. but the U.S. imparted to the argentines the lesson that expensive tricked-out technology wins the day, so the argentinans went on a shopping spree for advanced weapons without ever really learning how to use it together, or use it effectively.

and then the british showed up with gusto and actual fighting skills and kicked their butts.

so what i'm saying is lol

They overcook pasta in Argentina, like they are serving it to olds without teeth. Also, the food is much more boring than it is in Italy - bunch of grilled meat, with lovely medialunas for breakfast. Pizza in Argentina sucks rear end.
