@ParcaRolan75042@anthonyboutall We are used to Argentina (as a 3rd world nation with extreme poverty) always bringing up this. Please try and invade, we all dare you. We would decimate your country within the space of a day. Please try, I genuinely dare you and your government.
@ParcaRolan75042@anthonyboutall But no need to try and claim something that has never belonged to you. The UK has controlled those Islands longer than Argentina has existed. I know you and your Government like to throw the Falklands card when your economy is in the shit, we are used to it here in the UK.
@thematidog@Jackunbanned@balmer_tim Two, the UK economy is large, and is massive compared to both Argentina and Israel. Either way, the UK is much stronger.
@thematidog@Jackunbanned@balmer_tim One, Argentina can’t initiate an amphibious invasion of the UK. It cannot launch an invasion of any nation, nor can it invade the Falklands. Two; the UK is a lot stronger than Argentina and Israel. We operate a modern blue water navy with global power projection.
@PolitlcsUK Top of foreign policy? He was Prime Minister, I am not sure what is higher in the UK? There is no vacancy for NATO secretary general is there?
@itsjohncrotty@ColmWhelan Oh, Churchill was not happy either way. He viewed Northern Ireland in defence purposes. ROI refused to get involved, and we were worried Hitler would invade, and use it as a springboard to attack the UK. He certainly didn’t want to hand it back because of any emotion.
@itsjohncrotty@ColmWhelan Ireland wouldn’t dare veto. The UK could tear up the defence agreement we have to protect your skies and waters because you invest 0.2% of GDP on defence. You are literally freeloading. Also, the UK is your largest trading partner, and you rely on us for many things.
@ChrisSwans62679@DansBoucher We don’t ask to use your airspace or bases, it is actually the other way around. If you are going to tweet something, at least make it factual.
@ChrisSwans62679@DansBoucher Queer Starmer? Protect us? The UK was not under attack, neither was the US. We are quite aware the British Empire has been dissolved, it doesn’t take a genius to work that one out. The Falkland islanders choose to British (99.7% voted to remain a British overseas territory)
🚨The whole of Britain has turned on Donald Trump today.
You do not insult the Falkland islanders right to be apart of Britain.
You certainly do not call for a reunified Ireland.
You do not insult our troops.
Before people say "But you are centre right"
I am, however I also don't allow others to look down on our country.
We are not a toy, we are the United Kingdom.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has said he would 'love' to see a unified Ireland during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin in Dublin.
Replying to a reporter, the US president said 'it's going to happen eventually' adding 'the UK will have something to say about it'.
@CSgtBourne@GrassSmoke22 Once again another person doing the normal ‘whataboutery’ it’s ridiculous. He’s an embarrassment. We have been a great ally to the US. But, the US doesn’t do allies. They are a rogue state.
@chacrasan@DavidB80379@EscenarioM We don’t, and judging by the current leader we have, the leader of the opposition and anyone in the future who would take over as Prime Minister, we aren’t going to. Just for your info, Argentina has the largest Muslim population in Latin America. So I’d be quiet.
@poolypete@nicpromanzio Also, we did not have air defence on the Falklands at that time. Sky Sabre which is deployed on the Falklands now is so advanced it can track 24 targets simultaneously and deploy 24 missiles simultaneously. Argentinian air force would be destroyed within 2 minutes.
