but it's actually 82
Third front in WW3 is going to open up in an unexpected place.
some damned foolish thing in the balkans
some damned foolish thing in the falklands
He’s a libertarian, he should be arguing to let the free market decide who owns the Falklands
Milei and Rishi:
This is some very weak libertarianism. First, he should not be recognizing that any country at all should have sovereignty over anything. Second, he should not accept that anything is 'non-negotiable'. And third, this conflict of interest is more than 40 years old at this point, and showing any kind of enthusiastic interest in something that old goes against the very founding idea of libertarianism.
A true libertarian would argue that the Falklands should be the sovereign territory of the highest bidding private investor and that everything is negotiable. And they would reserve their passionate interest for Snapchat, which turns 12 this year.
The dude is a real terrible an-cap He's against abortions, but pro-child-slavery (I understand that this is typical libertarian shit, but like in theory they should be pro choice)
“One gratifying aspect of our rise to some prominence is that, for the first time in my memory, we, ‘our side,’ had captured a crucial word from the enemy . . . ‘Libertarians’ . . . had long been simply a polite word for left-wing anarchists, that is for anti-private property anarchists, either of the communist or syndicalist variety. But now we had taken it over...”
tl;dr: The right wing co-opted libertarianism for its own ends...
Only way to settle this is a one on one death match between Milei and Sunak.
with cavalry sabres please
Hell yes, i want them to go full Highlander.
All disagreements between countries should be settled with single combat. No proxies. You have beef with America? 1v1 Biden to settle it
The US would find a way to pick the duelling method and would continue being an imperialist power just by Biden's ability to devour more glitzies than any other head of state.
I think Russia would do rather well out of that arrangement
Nope! That's an historical claim from Argentina, every president says the same. Turns out that Milei is much more favorable to the UK, he said that Margaret Thatcher was a great leader.
It's just a fun observation based off a newspaper headline, not an actual analysis intended to be taken seriously.
The Falklands war has to be the most inane war of the 20th century. UK vs Argentina? Couldn't they have just done a football match?
It seriously is the dumbest shit. People have literally been sent to die over this fucking rock.
not even a good rock
It doesn't even crack the top 100 rocks

Noo Milei you are suposed to use the Malvines as a Distraction when ur goverment is doing terrible not before it even starts
It is all stupid but it is crazy that the UK thinks it has any claim to the Falkland islands though
The current claim is that the people there pretty much unanimously voted that they want to remain British. Britain is in decline, but Argentina in terms of actual conditions and stability for those that live there is worse.
It's a settler state fighting a coloniser state on the basis that the settler state is the one who really deserves to own a rock far out in the ocean on the basis of a dubious historical claim against the wishes of the people who live there.
I don't think it matters a whole lot given that the island was uninhabited when they got there. All that matters here is truly the people that exist today.
it probably costs the UK money to maintain its presence on the islands, so in the name of austerity, they should forcibly repatriate the inhabitants to england and leave the islands empty once again.
the lathe demands someone 9/11 the falklands when britain is broke as an afghan trap and then xi will build real neom oxagon
Nonce-on-nonce violence
doctor death has the opportunity to do the funniest thing ever
if you read the article he's planing on seeking them by diplomatic means. I predict the UK government will just say no and that will be the end of it
seeking them by diplomatic means
By this, the libertarian means offering the Brits an acceptable amount of underaged children in exchange.
Andrew's got plenty of access at home
I can't wait for that Krusty re-run to finally become relevant again.
That bit proved he wasn't illiterate and that sideshow Bob was innocent.
Quick! Check Price Andrew's underarms!
