Forty-one years after the Falklands war, the UK has suffered a diplomatic defeat over the archipelago as the EU appeared to endorse the Argentine name for the disputed territory, Islas Malvinas.
Brussels supported an Argentina-backed declaration referring to Islas Malvinas at a summit of EU leaders with Latin America and the Caribbean (Celac) leaders on Tuesday, which Buenos Aires called a “diplomatic triumph”.
I don’t know how accurate these reports are, but there were news that China was ready to ok it’s entry to the block on the next summit in South Africa, but now seems like that will not happen.
I don’t think they’re in position to try anything foolish, but fools do foolish things. It’s incredible how often and efficiently the Falkland have been used to justify and distract from the decay of once one of the wealthiest countries on the planet… The Falkland are really the infantile disorder of Argentinian politics.
