    More likely this is the Express stirring things up. As newspapers go, it’s rancid dog shit.

      The article says Buenos Aires as if it’s the Argentine government making political statements. Apparently the “tensions” are coming from a union which is kinda weird. But not surprised by the article seeing OPs posting history

        Yep, new account posting shit from the Sun and Express is an easy block.

    Javier Milei would really be a great cast for an Austin Powers villain. The guy looks more cartoonish every time I see him.

      The irony here is that Milei would be the last person to stir up territorial disputes against the UK. He is a total simp for the capitalist anglosphere.

        I actually know very little about his political agenda. I just can’t help but wonder if this strange look is part of his political antics.

          Nah, it’s Argentinian look. At least the hairstyle. Look up Carlos Menem, another Argentinian president. Wiggy hair and sideburns.

            I did not know that either. I mean it’s a cool look, just very 70s.

    However, his statement provoked a furious response from Argentina’s union the General Confederation of Labour (CGT).

    I guess a labor union, not associated with the Argentine government, making a statement about the falklands equates to rising international geopolitical tensions. Argentina lives rent free in the head of British nationalists.

        And overwhelmingly so. There was a referendum in 2013 with 92% turnout and 99.8% were in favour of staying British

          Reason for this was the region was and is settled by British sailors. Most of the people are of British descent, people speak English etc. At the end of the day, they are tiny islands with 3k people living on them. They are a great source of saber rattling by Argentina and nothing more.

            A great source of oil now it seems. Hence the renewed saber rattling.

        MBFC is so incredibly biased it’s absurd. The American Overton window is so far gone…
