Greatest friend and ally

Because you told us to sod off when we really needed your help in Malaysia. I understand that you shouldn't set yourself on fire to keep others warm. But this is a very one sided alliance for sure and I wish we werent so 'close'. A lot of my good friends are from the states, but it still doesn't change my view on it (not that some opinion of some british sperg matters)

We had your back in the Falklands by looking the other way as you breached the Monroe Doctrine and embarrassed a regime in Argentina that the US kinda supported. And if that weren’t enough, we also fed you intelligence under the table so you could win as fast as possible before it could potentially become an issue among the American public.

We were trying to calm tensions with the USSR so as to avoid nuclear apocalypse, and our allies going YOLO in the Middle East wasn’t helping the issue. We also gave you fair warning beforehand not to do it.

No, Reagan told us to literally give up the Falklands. Not interfering isnt really showing your support for us. You chose to not intervene as you didnt want to choose between the dictator you installed in Argentina and the country you claim is your best ally. But it isnt your job to protect my country or it's territories. I'm upset at how lousy we were protecting our own (and probably still are). No wonder why AUS/NZ/CA don't seem to be that interested in us anymore : (. It's our own fault

>Not interfering isnt really showing your support for us.
It absolutely is, the other alternative was to go to war with you over a written doctrine that has never otherwise been broken.

pay reparations u fags

Kys spic

None of this contradicts what I said. Any other country does what you did, and it isn’t just empty threats not to upset US imperialism.

die u fat pig, chicano

Also, the fact that it was an issue to the US public that we were taking back territory that is ours and is populated by British settlers shows how much you really think of us. We have been bootlicking the americans since WW2 and it wont end in the foreseeable future. I wish we had the same relations with the US as France where we have a peace treaty but we do our own thing instead.

I wish we were still a British colony.

Chicanxs would never support the British over Argentina lmao, dumb southern monkey

But we did

This.

>the fact that the American public might not be okay with letting the Brits cuck us shows we aren’t truly allies

No, it just means we aren’t cucks.

Canada and Australia above the brits tbqh

We were cucking you by not letting the British people in the Falklands be subjected to Argentine rule (a dictatorship at that)? Yeah this is why I don't like the our alliance. It's heavily one sided. I'd rather not be spit on personally

That's wrong you retard, the monroe doctrine means you don't allow old worlders to invade new worlders, it says absolutely nothing about the other way around happening.

It only became a British colony after Monroe Doctrine was already begun in the 1800s, Argentinians had a very real argument for American backing in the war.

>Greatest friend and ally.
OP is really wrong huh

Oh boo hoo. Spare me the moral virtue signaling. You retained an island with like 2000 fucking people that could easily be resettled in Britain and you only had to sacrifice completely destroying our geopolitical strategy in Argentina.

Oh how evil we are that we didn’t want to go to war our proxy because our ally wanted to keep a couple of fucking rocks halfway across the world.

I'm OP lol, still support the UK over Argentina even if you'uns was in the wrong

It was a tough situation, Argentina was also an ally, but the US did provide intelligence to the UK

The UK was within their rights as it was an attack on British subjects. Imagine if we invaded Bermuda

Please don't misunderstand. It was completely our fault for being so unprepared to defend our own citizens, but that's a dumb thing to say. The entire population of Hawaii could easily fit into continental USA. So it isn't a big deal if China takes it over right?
I dont see how we were wrong when we were taking back territory that has British citizens that settled a long time ago? A lot of land was stolen from other countries a long time ago. That's just what happens throughout history. The falklands was always recognised as British territory I think too. I really dont understand your point

* The falklands was always recognised as British territory by the UN I think

>but that's a dumb thing to say. The entire population of Hawaii could easily fit into continental USA. So it isn't a big deal if China takes it over right?

2000 people
v
Over 1 million people

Yeah, totally the same thing bro.

242,495 km2 vs 8,080,464.3 km2.
It's all relative

Maybe so, but the UK only acquired the Falklands after the Monroe Doctrine was already established. Legalistically speaking, we should have gone to war then and then supported Argentina in the recent spat. Again, luv the UK and happy we slid ‘em intelligence under the table anyway.

It was probably for the best that we went alone. It gave us a very brief moment of national pride and moral (but that didnt last long lol). I just wished that we also recognised that the allies we thought we could count on might not be there for us and spurred us on to take things more seriously. But it didnt and continue not to learn

Hawaii’s population is over 500x larger than the population of the Falklands. The US is 33x larger in size than the UK while including a bunch of land that is entirely uninhabitable. The magnitude isn’t the same.

But this is all besides the point. You and I both know that it’s bullshit that the UK didn’t fight for The Falklands out of some moral obligation. It was just a nice propoganda war for Thatcher just as Argentina trying to take it was propoganda for them. Don’t try and sell a perfidious anglo war justification on another perfidious anglo nation.

I mean, they did kinda have a point in not wanting a territory with British settlers taken over by a brutal dictatorship (one instated and supported by the US btw)

DAILY REMINDER that Argentinian gauchos lived in the Falklands peacefully waaay before Britain stole it

Eat shit, yank.

Mainland USA could easily house the entire population of Hawaii, and we could too with the Falklands. idk why you are going into the specifics when my point is that it's our territory that is recognised by the UN and our NATO allies (who none of them believed we could take it back so gave up too). I dont know why the population size is relevant?
I do not care to get anyone on 'our side' of the falklands debate because their opinion just doesnt matter. OP says we are your best ally but I just think differently and would not like to have such close ties to the US. Thats my point. Falklands was just an example and didnt mean for it to take over the whole thread.
It's really disingenuous to say the whole war was for propaganda. Not having your citizens becoming subject to a foreign dictator has the side benefit of being good for that though.

Securing the moral high ground in a war while not actually going to war because of it is very the definition of perfidious Albion.

Greatest ally.

If I remember correctly it was mainly used as a penal colony, so it was a cold and slightly more inhospitable Australia

Any examples or proof? I heard that gauchos lived there and had fun

TWO WORDS YOU FAT YANK
SIMPLE.
AS.

They're not our allies and they never have been. In fact, you could make a decent case that they're the closest thing to a true enemy Britain has ever had (this was what Powell believed).

>Not having your citizens becoming subject to a foreign dictator has the side benefit of being good for that though.

This was literally every single one of Hitler’s justifications for invading its neighbors.

The French destroyed their own country to help us break free from the British Menace, they are our truest ally.

Again, a lot of land was stolen historically. It would be nice if the entire human history was about peace, but unfortunately it isnt.
I do not believe they are our enemy. We readily offer ourselves as their doormat without their request. We are very much at fault for that
Yes but Hitler invaded countries that had no interest in being part of his empire, and the people on the Falklands overwhelmingly identify as British? I dont understand some of the points you guys are making

Further research informs me that along a gaucho population also lived some Urugayan charrúa indians for some reason, I still cannot phantom why anyone would willingly live in a semi-antartic rock in the middle of nowhere

What r gaunchos? Is that a type of penguin or something?

It’s lit bro. It’s not a shitty rock, they are amazing islands

>Yes but Hitler invaded countries that had no interest in being part of his empire, and the people on the Falklands overwhelmingly identify as British?

Danzig and the Sudetenland very much wanted to rejoin Germany.

Also what happened to these people?

Because you suck lol

2 countries out of the dozen or so he invaded ins't exactly an overwhelming support is it?
