Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.
I don’t know about this take I think which country the people that live there want to be part of is by far the better metric. Ireland is right by Great Britain but they clearly don’t want to be in the UK
Defence of the islands is provided by the United Kingdom.[85] A British military garrison is stationed on the islands, and the Falkland Islands government funds an additional platoon to company-sized light infantry Falkland Islands Defence Force.[86] The Falklands claim an exclusive economic zone (EEZ) extending 200 nmi (370 km) from its coastal baselines, based on the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea; this zone overlaps with the EEZ of Argentina.[87]
this is what you’re defending lol (not trying to throw shade just saying)
a fascist military junta tried to seize the islands against the wishes of 99% of the inhabitants
this is what you’re defending lol (not throwing shade just saying)
Northern Ireland is right there. It belongs to Ireland which is also right there. The UK isn’t here and is over there across the channel. My here-there paradigm to nationalism wins again.
No northern Ireland is part of Ireland because of the shared cultural history. It doesn’t make any sense at all to do nationalism by proximity as borders between countries are very requently next to each other
