China pointing out a splinter in the UK's eye while doing nothing about the multiple two by fours it jammed in its own eyes.
Saying this as someone with no relation to the UK but with Argentinian citizenship (dual CH/ARG citizenship, to be exact).
if you dont mind me asking, what are your thoughts on the falklands/malvinas dispute? I don't interact with too many Argentines so I'm curious about if it is an important issue over there
Admittedly, I see myself as being primarily Swiss, but last I heard there was a vote in the Falklands about staying in the UK vs joining Argentina and the vast majority chose staying in the UK. And as far as I know, Argentina's claim on those islands is based on geographical proximity and not much else, in which case it's complete bullshit. Not that the UK has any valid claim on them either, but if the inhabitants prefer to be part of it rather than Argentina, I can't blame them.
