The UN has officially exceeded itsnshelf life. Time to exict it from the USA and disavow any support of it.
Without US bucks, it will wither away.
How many divisions does the UN Commission have to enforce their “ruling”. I do believe that eventually Britain (formally Great Britain) will give up the islands because the cost to defend them will be too great.
My thoughts exactly. This is his best opening to stick a finger in the eye of the despised Brits. Petulant brat.
Or that Florida belongs to Cuba.
Great Britain evacuates all of its' citizens and troops from the Falklands.
Then sends all of its' Muslims there.
Any new Muslims arriving in GB also sent to the Falklands
Two problems solved, and let the chips fall where they may.
Maybe GB would be nice and let us send all of our Muslims to the Falklands too.

The chairman of the Commission of the Limits of the Continental shelf is from Nigeria, there is actually a Brit on the board, no telling how he voted.
This would be the perfect time for retaking the islands. Emperor Obama hates Britain and would never help them and they could not reclaim them from Argentina acting alone.
Other than the fact that the Argentina navy has no ships that can go to sea and the Argentina Air Force has no aircraft that can fly strike missions then it'd be a great time.
Margaret Thatcher is turning in her grave.
And the Royal Navy has no carriers right now either. Should make for an interesting old school conflict.
Maybe subcontract the Gitmo deal to there? No way the Argies want any part of that.
Unlike last time the RAF has a section of Eurofighters in the Falklands and the Royal Army has some ground troops stationed there as well. So I doubt that the Argentina military could even get ashore now.
Maybe the Argies want to lose another Cruiser.
Indeed, they still want the islands, and lets see if the UK will just lie down as they thought last time.
288 miles huh? Does that mean we own Cuber?
