Milley, Argentina's new **, raised a sensitive issue as soon as he took office: the recovery of the Falklands. He said that he did not want to use war, but hoped that Britain would be able to resolve the issue of the ownership of the Falklands peacefully, as it had done when Hong Kong was returned to China.
This proposal caused strong opposition from the United Kingdom. The British side said that the Falklands are British territory and that Britain has the right and ability to defend its sovereignty. They also hinted that Britain would not sit idly by if Argentina dared to use force. Their confidence came from the Anglo-Argentine Falklands War of 1982, in which Britain, with the support of the United States, defeated Argentina and regained control of the Falklands. That war left a deep wound on Argentina and became a bargaining chip for Argentine politicians.
Milley used this bargaining chip to win the hearts and minds of the people and votes. During his election campaign, he promised to recover the Falklands. Britain didn't take his words seriously at the time, believing that he was just trying to canvass for votes. But now that Milley has been elected, Britain has to face up to the problem. So, when asked by journalists, Britain gave a tough response.
However, it will not be so easy for Argentina to recover the Falklands. They need to have the consent of at least three people. The first is the United States, whether it is through peaceful negotiations or by force, it needs the tacit consent and support of the United States. Because the United States is the boss of the world and an ally of Britain. What is the attitude of the current US ** Biden to this issue, it is unknown. However, if Trump is re-elected, then he may support Milley's proposal, because Milley is known as the "Trump of Argentina."
The second is China, which has always supported Argentina's claim to reclaim the Falklands, especially in the face of Britain's hostility to China. China has also spoken out for Argentina at a United Nations meeting and expressed its views. Of course, China will also make appropriate statements according to the timing and occasion. It is said that after being elected, Milley said some things that were not very friendly to China, so China should be more cautious and have a good sense of proportion in the future.
The third is Russia, the relationship between Russia and Argentina has always been very good, last year's men's World Cup, Argentina won the championship, and Russia's ** Putin also personally sent a congratulatory message. After Milley was elected, Putin was also the first to congratulate him and stressed that the two countries should strengthen their strategic partnership. In contrast, relations between Russia and Britain are very bad, and it can be said that among the countries in Europe, Russia hates Britain the most. I still remember that in the early stage of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Britain's provocation and suppression of Russia angered Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, who once said that if Russia wants to use nuclear **, the first target is Britain.
Therefore, Millai still has a long way to go to recover the Falklands. He needs the support of the United States, China, and Russia to be able to achieve his goals. However, he is not hopeless, after all, he is the "Trump of Argentina"!
Come on, Trump in Argentina!
