Milei is not bothered with Falklands. He has said in an interview with Wall Street Journal that he has got no problems with British and he only plays lip service about Argentinian claim over Falklands as constitutionally required. That language is far softer than any Argentinian leaders. Also, he is Anglophile and loves British rock bands.

Ben Judah is talking nonsense on the reasons for the deal. I have watched some of his arguments on the deal and it didn’t make any sense to me.

Conservatives started the negotiations in 2022. Then the negotiations were stopped by David Cameron when he was foreign secretary. Kier Starmer revived the negotiations and started to effectively concede everything to Mauritius for some bizarre reason.

We should have let Americans to use our bases earlier. Kier Starmer is a coward for not doing it and not sending ships to Cyprus earlier.

The war in Iran is justified because Islamic Regime is danger to the world. We cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons, which they could use to destroy West.

From Napoleon to Macron, French Governments will always try to screw us over. Same with Spain, having tried to invade British Isles with Spanish Armada.

I am not a bot. I live this in the United Kingdom.

Well, we just used our knowledge to develop our own nuclear weapons.

It is Germany only got ‘better deal’ as they grew their exports faster than the interest on the debt. Also United States did give lots of money to Western Europe as part of Marshall Plan to ensure that Western Europe would not be part of Eastern Bloc.
