Another Falklands Thread: This Time, It'll Cost 50 Pesos

[Ostroeuropa]

I learn from the past, I know what Britain is capable of as history knows it , I have even been to Britain and I practically understand them better than they understand themselves.

Now Britain is clearly a threat and should not be given Falklands

Yeah sure you do, everyone believes you, you are clearly an expert on all things British and have seen the unspeakable brutality that hides behind our tea and Yorkshire pudding's truly the British are no better than rabid imperialistic beasts who should be constantly taken down a peg by the brave Empire toppelers the Indians.

It was merely a setback.
He's found us out.
Not only do we still have the conviction that we are the true masters of this planet, but we secretly still have the means to enforce that vision on reality.
As everybody knows, our Island has enough resources and manpower to conquer the entire universe if needs be.
Ever wondered why the Empire in star wars has British accents?
Exactly.

Uh oh. Our cover's been blown!

QUICKLY, LOAD ALL THE TEA INTO SHIPS! WE MUST GET BACK TO THE DEATH STAR IMMEDIATLY!

Exactly.

Also, Doctor Who is a documentary about MI6 agents travelling the cosmos to illegally implant British populations everywhere. The Daleks are just righteous anti-imperialists.

I think you read too much Manga, bud.

Nah. Given his xenophobia to all foreigners I doubt he reads something Japanese.

I learn from the past, I know what Britain is capable of as history knows it , I have even been to Britain and I practically understand them better than they understand themselves.

Yeah, you went to London for a week and some chav called you a Paki, is that right? That qualifies you to be an expert on Britain as much as watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail qualifies you to be an expert in bird migrations.

And anyway, nobody's going to give us the Falklands, since they're already bloody British. Should India be given Mumbai?

A bunch of cowards broke my septum, but that aside this is not about the brutality i have faced at hands of them, if they ever come to India, i shall see them, every dog is a lion in his street, this topic is not about them, it is about the British trying to use Falklands for safeguarding the Antarctic, which in 2060 would be of great value

This is about the resources they are planning to steal and how they should be stopped

Ah, so that's what happened.
We merely pretended to stop being Imperialist. In truth, we began an imperialistic campaign against the space-time continuum itself.

Is there any evidence to prove that the British are 'planning to steal' resources and land?

[Novia Soviet Socialist Republic]

Hilarious, given how you're so focused on the past.

I learn from the past, I know what Britain is capable of as history knows it , I have even been to Britain and I practically understand them better than they understand themselves.

Now Britain is clearly a threat and should not be given Falklands

You got called a naughty name by some bottom feeder and now you're an expert on this country and everything here? I think you'll find we're waaaay more complex than that.

[The Confederacy of Nationalism]

Why would he be laughing with us evil British Imperialists looming over his nation, ready to strike at a moments notice and revive the British Empire?

Because it's patently ridiculous
Britain isn't the same country as it used to be.
We've given up all that christian crusading missionary mallarchy. And the white mans burden.
Now we're obsessed with capitalism or social justice, depending on your temperament. Even our revisionism of the empire takes that into account.
We don't get all broo-ha-ha about invading places and killing people. Makes us uncomfortable.
We wistfully talk about banning slavery, and expanding democracy, creating trade and business, and such.

And we can do all that stuff without the red coats.

Give independence to Canada - ok, that's fine
Give independence to India - ok that's also fine
Give independence to Australia - sure, whatever

What, the little buttler dudes?

According to the United Nations, those are not people. They're penguins.

Sounds like imperialism to me. Penguins are people, independent Penguinstan 2015! Impeach pesos, Argentina is theft.

What, the little buttler dudes?

No, not the penguins.

Trying to establish whether or not the people born in a previously entirely uninhabited land, have any claim to the land they live on.

That's an interesting question to be sure. Not aplicable to Falklands though, since they are a legal part of UK today.

Look at history !!

There is credible evidence to prove what the British do on foreign soil

I still stand by my belief that the United States was obligated to aid Argentina in the Falklands War under the Monroe Doctrine. It's disappointing that to this day Argentina still does not control the falklands.

Because America supporting a bankrupt nation with little to no importance is worth active opposition of not just a nuclear nation but Americas longest standing Allie, destroying the founding principle of NATO in the process.

I still stand by my belief that the United States was obligated to aid Argentina in the Falklands War under the Monroe Doctrine. It's disappointing that to this day Argentina still does not control the falklands.

The Monroe Doctrine was designed to defend democracy in the Americas against Monarchistic europeans.
It would be a betrayal of the doctrine to back a Fascistic governments invasion of a Democracy.

No offense to anyone, but America does have a history of overthrowing Democratically elected regimes and replacing them with pro American dictators.

I know what they did to me, you have no right to comment on it, I actually thank them for opening my eyes anyways this is not about me, it is about the British trying to do what they always, take over land which is not theirs

*Give the Falklands the choice on independence - Okay, how's 2013 sound?

[Imperializt Russia]

How can it be thousands of miles away from UK territory when it is UK territory? It's like saying Russia can't own Siberia.

Because the Spanish discovered it (: there are many Spanish maps that include the Malvinas before the British "discovered" them). The British colonized the islands and a while later they left. The Argentines were expelled in 1833.

Yup. It's definitely colonialism.

The Argentines were not expelled apart from the mutinous garrison who were sent back to Buenos Aeries by the British, who begged the gauchos to remain on the island, who begged to be taken home.
Documents on display in the Argentine national archive support this.

Oh yeah, I forgot about your nose bit. But that's quite an impressive gift you have, being able to sense the arrival of a handful of Britons into a country as crammed as India. But such eastern magics cannot stop the indomitable march of the evil Britannians! We will pillage Antarctica to construct our Wellington Churchill mechas! Muwahahaha! >:D

From Britain's perspective, "giving up" something is the same as "giving independence" to it, they lose the territory either way. India, Canada, and Australia made Great Britain a large sum of money, the falklands does not.

Falklands; British by the will of Falklanders and international law.
