Who is supporting socialists? Not me. As for the current settlers of the islands,IMO they are occupiers, no different than the Torries who occupied parts of this country then fled back to England after the Revolutionary War.

While I don't support any socialist government, even our own; If you're implying that I support the socialist government of England less than the socialist government of Argentina, you are correct.

As someone who has visited both countries, I can tell you unequivocally that we as Americans have more in common with the Argentines than we do with the British.

But look, I knew I'd take flak on this thread for my beliefs, so I'll shut up, and let you have your pro British love fest.

Jolly Good

Well, you are not correct.

Socialist Argentina does not have a valid claim to the Falklands. Nor did Argentina prior to that ever assert such a claim.

You also overlook the fact that Argentina undertook a military invasion without valid reason, using the same rationale that Saddam Hussein used to invade Kuwait. That alone should disqualify any support their claims may have deserved.

Again, you have no clue about what you are ignorantly spewing.

How can they be occupiers? Do you know the history of the Falkland Islands?

You are not advocating anything but ignorance of the historical reality of the situation.

I don’t care where you’ve “visited” or who you believe we have more in common with. Your position reeks of an arrogant POS liberal who “feels” they are in the “right” due to their superior “moral” stance.

You are not as intelligent as you believe you are, IMO.
