The Conservative Party's support fell sharply behind Labour's when British Foreign Secretary David Cameron visited the Falklands.
On Monday, Cameron landed on the Falklands, the first visit by a British cabinet member to the island in the past eight years. God is also very face-saving, the Falklands have always had bad weather, and the islanders were able to go out of their homes to see Cameron's visit, and the scene was very lively.
Cameron landed on the island, considering that there are not many people on the Falklands in the first place, if Cameron stays here for a few more days, he may be able to mix half of the locals.
Of course, his original intention was not to have a relationship with the island, and the main task was to commemorate the Falklands War, which was a great victory, and it was nothing more than to give Argentina a new ** dismount and show the aftermath of the former "empire on which the sun never sets", so as to enhance the image of the Conservative Party and save the precarious election.
The first thing Cameron did when he arrived on the island was to visit the ruins of the battlefield and chat with the surviving veterans. In the conversation, he mentioned that as long as the islanders still recognize British rule, there is no room for negotiation on the sovereignty of the Falklands, and Britain will not hesitate to "use force" to protect the islanders' choice and will.
The reason why Cameron dared to say this is because he led the "Falklands referendum" that year. It happened in 2013, when Cameron was still the prime minister of the United Kingdom, and led the "referendum on going to stay in the Falklands", and as a result, more than 99% of the islanders supported staying in the United Kingdom, giving Britain enough face.
A necessary part of the commemoration of the war - laying a wreath But the Argentine side has always refused to recognize the results of this referendum, if nothing else, the islanders are almost all descendants of British immigrants, and the so-called referendum is not a joke? It's like a bunch of robbers robbing your house, and then they have a vote to keep living in your house, and no one can swallow that.
Argentina's new ** Milley has also repeatedly emphasized the sovereignty of the Falklands, but hopes to use peaceful means similar to Hong Kong's return. This is really a bit whimsical, Hong Kong is a lease and should be returned when it expires, but the Falklands have always had a sovereignty dispute, and the two should not be confused.
More importantly, Hong Kong's smooth return is largely due to the rise of China, and the British can no longer forcibly occupy it, and the situation in Argentina is obviously not applicable to this situation. Imperialism doesn't suddenly show kindness, unless you're strong enough for them to do whatever they want.
And now Argentina, to put it mildly, is not as good as the Galtieri army that fought the Falklands War, although the latter is not very good economically, at least it is full of martial virtues. Milley ** is not very good at everything, and recently he has been busy with "shock**" economic reform, and the results have not yet been seen, but the labor pains have tossed the people a lot.
Milley: I'm an economist, diplomacy is not my strong point, which is why after Cameron landed on the island, Milley did not strongly condemn it at the first time, but instead posted a bunch of irrelevant tweets, including Argentine football, inflation, etc., and never mentioned the sovereignty of the Falklands.
The only thing that reacted strongly was the local **, and according to the administrative division of the Argentine side, the Falklands were under the jurisdiction of the province of Tierra del Fuego. Melilla, the governor of the province, said that Cameron's visit to the Falklands was a new round of provocations launched by Britain with the aim of undermining Argentina's legitimate sovereignty and continuing to preserve colonialism, and he also listed Cameron as "persona non grata".
usually keeps saying that he wants to defend the sovereignty of the Falklands, but now he is being opened up by the other party's face, and Milai is silent again, I really don't know what to say.
But this is not to blame Milley, he does not have the capital to be hard. Although Argentina achieved a rare fiscal surplus last month, most of this was achieved by turning into ** assets and saving money, and there are citizens outside the Argentine ** department who have lined up "hungry long queues", and those who can't even afford to eat are frugal and thrifty, which is really not worth advocating.
Protesters outside the country's sector Inflation remains high and the poverty rate soared to 57 at the start of the year4%。The situation is so deplorable that people almost forget that Argentina was a developed country on a par with the United States at the beginning of the last century.
Britain is not much better, the economy has fallen into recession for two consecutive quarters, and the public's dissatisfaction with the Conservative Party** is reflected in the poll support. Sunak really has no choice but to play the "Falklands card" to divert the public's attention.
It's a pity that the Falklands are still relatively calm, the British don't pay that much attention to it, and Cameron's diplomatic show doesn't play much of a role. In a sense, Britain and Argentina are also a pair of difficult brothers, and the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother.
Next, Cameron will attend the G20 Foreign Ministers' Summit in Brazil, where he will meet with Argentine Foreign Minister Mundino. The tug-of-war over sovereignty over the Falklands should not end anytime soon.
