Diplomatic War on Falkland Islands

"Malwins (Falklandas) belong to Argentina" - the information characters of specified content are all of Argentina. While traversing this country, I initially took them as specified directional signs, not as part of an extended propaganda run to remind the Argentines of the “buy” of the islands mentioned by the British. Although Falkland Islands have been under British sovereignty for almost 2 100 years, each successive Argentine government urges Britain to return these territories to Argentina. This is not surprising, for in a country in a permanent economical crisis, the government's playing the Falkland Islands subject unites the nation and distracts its citizens from another problems faced by local politicians. However, this does not change the fact that it is hard to disagree with the arguments of the Argentines in this regard.

The Falklands off the coast of Argentina, and owned by Britain as a remnant of the colonial conquests of the British Empire, are more than 12,000 kilometres from the Kingdom. Despite this, the effort by the Argentines to arm the islands in 1982, due to Britain's tremendous military advantage, failed, leading to the collapse of the military dictatorship and the introduction of democracy in Argentina. In expressing gratitude to the British for this liberation, however, the Argentines are - so to talk - very restrained and sometimes there are anti-British incidents in the country, specified as paint-throwing the British embassy or burning a puppet of 1 of the members of the royal family. With respect to claims concerning Malwin - as the Falklands of Argentina - nothing has changed after the war either. 3/4 of the public explicitly recognises them as part of its territory and supports the authorities' efforts to recover them.

economical issues are gaining in the fight for islands. After the war off the Falklands coast, oil deposits were discovered, which Britain began mining in 2012 (and besides granting concessions) with apparent opposition from the Argentines. To confirm their rights to the Falkland Islands, the British organised a referendum in 2013, the consequence of which was known in advance. Almost all of the nearly 1,700 island residents who were eligible to vote voted voted for belonging to the Crown, although for the Argentine rulers the position of a fistful holding the British residence passport is irrelevant in the dispute and they constantly lobby internationally for designation of Argentina's rights to the islands. A major success in this substance was the extension by the UN in 2016 of the territorial water belt Argentina so much that it covered the Falkland Islands as a whole, which made it hard for the British to access the islands, and above all to oil, and again tightened the diplomatic conflict.

Olives are added to the fire selected in December 2023 by fresh president Javier Milei of Argentina, who already in January 2024 at the Davos economical Forum not only shocked the elites there with his message criticizing the regulation of freedom and the introduction of socialism as a threat to the Western world, but besides one more time he claimed Falkland Islands. This was seemingly worrying to the British, since the period after Milei spoke to David Cameron in Davos, the second made an authoritative visit to the Falklands, the first of its kind in 8 years. It is clear that the Argentines are not going to let go, although the option of re-trying to take over the islands by force against the immense interior problems (hyperinflation, crime) Argentina's not precisely an option. In fact, it is doomed to failure, as the island is now far more defended than from the last attack. However, the British cannot sleep peacefully, since thousands of akin signs adorn Argentina's roads, reminding citizens who are invariably their enemy. https://eyewatcher.blogspot.com/
