Everyone knows there is a rivalry and why. Simpson went much further than that, assigning a [false] consequence to effects of who wins the match.
Having been to Argentina I can say he’s right.
The Falklands War is the country’s inflexion point.
Nothing unites them more than their hatred of us.
Milei is actually relatively pro British and admired Thatcher, he just wants the Falklands to be Argentine too but by diplomatic means
Diplomatic means until the bent c-nt needs a distraction from domestic woes.
They might also consider that their window of opportunity to get the fulsome support of Trump for Operacion Rosario 2 might be closing in a couple of years.
The Falklands is also near the limit of the F-16s operational range, I think, without inflight refuelling ?
It would be a massive gamble at very unfavourable odds.
We should ally with Argentina to get the oil out. We may as well go halves I think. Give them something to salve their national pride - I don't know what. Build them some islands and call it The Malvinas.
Cameron proposed exactly that in 2010 but Argentina said they wanted everything and would not negotiate
That wasn't Millei though.
True. I thought early on in his presidency he was sounding far more amenable to a deal but I think that as his popularity has dropped in Argentina, he has fallen back on the old canard of using the Falklands as a drum to beat.

Although if he does it will probably be a bad sign.
