Obama Administration Backs Argentina Over U.K. on Falkland Dispute

The Obama administration once again has sided with Argentina -- and by default, against Britain -- in the ongoing dispute over the island chain at the center of a 1982 war.

In a move one British conservative analyst called "hugely insulting to Britain," the Organization of American States earlier this week adopted a declaration calling for negotiations between the United Kingdom and Argentina over the "sovereignty" of the Falkland Islands. While the U.S. delegation did not speak in support of the measure, it ultimately joined a consensus adopting it.

However, Britain does not consider the sovereignty in question. After the British fended off an Argentine invasion of the nearby islands in 1982 -- a war in which hundreds died on both sides -- the government continues to assert control over the Falklands and grant islanders British citizenship

[SiberianExpress]

Don't trust Fox but strong loyalty if this is accurate.

lol what claim do you *******s have to the Falkland Islands?

Well for a start the people there have no desire for change from British rule. The islands are so British they might as well be in the Channel.

Do you not think the people of the Falklands should be allowed to determine their own fate? They consider themselves British and the UK government effectively looks after them.


Argentina literally has no claim to the Falklands at all.

This is just an example of Obama's anti-British ideology.

America, get rid of this ****ing joke and get a real president in office that actually respects their allies.

the PM tells it how it is

[DavidCameron]

They want the islands because of the oil.

They attempted to get this by launching an invasion on UK territory. They are lucky we did not invade their country and rape their women in response. They are lucky we are British gentlemen and not South American thugs.

[frasersteen]

lol, give the Falklands back to the Argies.

no

[DavidCameron]

Honestly, the special relationship is dead.

It's time look toward our European allies instead of over the atlantic which obviously no longer has any need for this relationship.

Agreed. Europe is falling very quickly behind everyone else, we are just making new friends who are going to become rising powers.


Problem euro***s?

[DavidCameron]

Argentina...wow...

Problem euro***s?

EU relations with Russia and China can significantly outweigh The U.S relations with them. Have fun with your 3rd world South American countries.

[SiberianExpress]

Argentina...wow...

Just some dumb bitch, political lightweight throwing dramatic statements around because she knows the Argie public love this anti-British ****.

Argentina have literally no claim whatsoever, ****ing France has more of a right than Argentina. Also, they don't actually care about the island's people at all, it's only a political ploy because oil has been discovered.

Argentina hasn't even bothered maintaining the cemetery for their war dead from the conflict. Pathetic.

[SullyPHD]

You guys think any british lawmaker was surprised? There is a reason why no european colonies exist on our side of the atlantic.

educate yourselves on America's longtime foreign policy.

we been siding with south america since the 1900s and dollar diplomacy

[H-Town-Matt]

obama is just mad he wasnt invited to the biggest television event in the history of mankind. the royal wedding

but tbh they gotta say sh!t like that.

they are allies with the dirty argies, and could have aided them in their illegal invasion of british land in the 80's. but they no doubt realised an ally in europe who is just as war hungry as usa is not a ally to lose.

[nzgs]

Who gives a **** how they side? lol. No one can do anything about it, not the UN, the USA or anyone else. The islands are British. I just regret we didn't finish the job and wipe out their entire military and infrastructure to teach them a lesson.

[kratosbrah]

Obama is a stupid fuking kunt for betraying one of our most important allies..

I hope Argentina tries something so those brits slaughter em and make Obama look like the stupid little bitch he is.

[TylerDurden83]

I am not saying anything, but for those unaware.

[Kazbien]

Agreed. Europe is falling very quickly behind everyone else, we are just making new friends who are going to become rising powers.
