Why did the British and Argentines fight over a bunch of penguins?
>>56746337
It's in a key location to supply the British Antarctic territory and completes are Atlantic network of bases. Useful to have. They invaded it so we took it back.
>>56746337
They're our penguins
Becase of >muh pride and they though on invading us, but knowing that they'd get raped they went for the brits instead.

>The most striking revelation from the meeting is the degree to which Haig's compromise favored the Argentines. The minutes are quite clear on this point: Haig "then described the elements of the American plan which in effect would give ultimate sovereignty to Argentina but under evolutionary conditions which the Islanders could ultimately accept."
>It's far from clear, however, that the islanders could or would accept Argentine sovereignty, nor that Haig was really solicitous of their interests. He had recently told U.S. congressmen that the principle of "self-determination" did not really apply to them. And an off-color joke of his about their sexual practices underlined his lack of sympathy.
>But Haig was baffled and frustrated by the reaction of the junta: "Our proposals, in fact, are a camouflaged transfer of sovereignty, and the Argentine foreign minister knows this, but the junta will not accept it."

Even though were friends, Argies always tried to fuck us over. During Empire we went to war with them lots of times, during WWII they had a plan to annex us if Germany reached the americas and the plan of invasion from the south in 82. (If they didn't went to UK or Chile).
Ironically, we selled ammo and military equipemnt for them during the war.
>>56749493
I call bulllshit on that.
The war was because the junta needed a distraction from the economical failure and social discontent.
Muh nationalism is always a good excuse to do anything
>>56748122
this + both thatcher and the junta needed a popularity boost so they were eager to win a war
>>56749611
wheres our proff
>>56749493
Supposedly the Foreign Office wanted Callahan to hand over the islands to protect the UK's trade relationship with Argentina but he told them to fuck off
>>56749611
Well it was a Junta so the plans to use the military in various ways would be there, but I always thought their REAL beef was with Chile. They almost went to war with Chile in 1978:

Huh? How does what you said contradict what I posted? You can't call bullshit on it, what I posted it's the truth. It's literally what happened on the American side:

Stop already, there was no plan from the Argentinians to invade us.
>>56749953
but i like you anon
>>56749439
>>56749845
Yeah. Thatcher hated the Foreign Office too because they were apprehensive against using the military to take the islands back.
I think at that point a culture of declinism had set in due to withdrawal from Empire and they just thought Britain shouldn't resist losing the rest
>>56749879
Yeah they always had this tsundere with Chile.

You mean search for the codename of the invasion of the Malvinas? This doesn't have anything to do with Brazil, the Junta never planned to do anything against us. What is going on in your head?

Indeed. Callaghan was decent enough
"Jim Callaghan was a formidable opponent, one who could best me across the dispatch box. In other circumstances he would have been a successful prime minister. He was a superb party manager. Despite our disagreements, I always respected him because I knew he was moved by deep patriotism."
- Maggie Thatcher after Callaghan died

But that doesn't exist.
>viable option
No of course it wasn't. The junta wanted a war in which they would be able to win, I can't see a single way in which a conflict with Brazil would end well for the Argentinians (not even in the mind of the most delusional general), it's just a no-go mindless plan.
The argies should have invaded Chile instead.

>implying you wouldn't find some obscure project on how a Brazilian invasion on Argentina would work
We compited militarily for decades back then, does it surprise you that our military government did a study on how well would we fare on a war against you?
In fact, I think modern statistics on that also use neighboring countries as a comparison, stating for example how many hours would an argie military defense stand against Chile, even if we are getting closer to them diplomatically every year
Argie bargies wanted clay to distract them from the fact that they're useless and poor and not white
Our based balls-of-steel queen Thatcher blew them the fuck out and now they're butthurt about it.
Don't worry, our next socialist prime minister will probably give them to them on a silver plate and kiss their arse for the privilege.
>>56751867
jesus, "compited"
My point is that Brazil has probably a plan on how an invasion or defense agains all of it's neighbors would work

The people on the Falklands were/are British citizens.
Argentina invaded them, simple as that.
>>56751958
Our military revolves around an invasion from a USA-Europe coalition. I doubt an invasion from any of our neighbors is taken seriously.
Fuckssake Argentina, didn't your parents ever teach you to not take things that aren't yours?

>A referendum on political status was held in the Falkland Islands on 10–11 March 2013. The Falkland Islanders were asked whether or not they supported the continuation of their status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom in view of Argentina's call for negotiations on the islands' sovereignty.
The people have spoken.

>preparing for invasion for US-EU coalition.
So you practice surrendering or retreating into the jungle?
>>56752452
Then why didn't the UK didn't recognize Crimea's referendum when they voted Russia :^)?
If the UK still owns Gibraltar, which is literally attached to Spain and is in the EU, what makes people think they'll give up the Falklands.
>>56751542

Because we're going to elect an old lefty who wants to give the Falklands to Argentina just to keep his wife happy.

>Gibraltarians overwhelmingly rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and again in 2002.

Was it a big deal there was an American news piece on him on Sunday? A couple of weeks ago they did one on weed man and it was reported on here.
They said his kidnappers freed him after his dad paid six million in ransom. They should call him pic related.

Reminder this is what they said about Trump.
Corbyn's going to be the labour leader and you're going to love it.

First time I hear about it. Not surprised tho, he's supposedly trying a whole different approach than the one we ad for the last 14 years, and also Obama is currently visiting us.
IIRC it was that kidnap that inspired him into politics

Pretty much this. But you missed a point. Do you truly believe that they are british if they are so far from your country? It's simply riddiculous. I'm not saying that they are argentinan either. Maybe they are just independent.

What's even more amusing is that there were multiple cases of yanks either muh heritaging or on exchange in the argy army who get shot to shit during the war, which was then swept under the rug by the American government because muh cold war united front against the commies.

How can "We repelled a foreign invading army" be interpreted as brainwashing?
>>56757475
That was not an invasion on Chile.
The Patagonia was no man's land, on the Left you have Chile's claim, saying that the division was given by a river. On the right you have the Argentine claim, saying that the division was given by the mountain peeks. We actually went to the brit monarchy, I think, to decide. For once, you favored us, after we diverted a river to prove that the peeks were far more consistent. It has a cool and longer story.
