Thread Name: BS: Falklands 'militarisation'
Subject: RE: BS: Falklands 'militarisation'
When your country is in the economic shit and the crimes of past governments cloud your political issues, it is always nice to distract your people with jingoistic blame game at another country.

If the Falklanders were to have a referendum and want to become The Malvinas, then fine but I have yet to see the day.

If we are being colonialist, then surely Argentina are being wannabe colonialist? The last time I looked, The Falklands were surrounded by sea. It is as much Argentina as half of Scotland is geology wise America.

Reagan sat on the fence the last time Argentina played silly buggers. Wonder what the present (just about British) President will do?
