It's something the US has basically enforced, it's their excuse to things like military bases in Okinawa, which goes against Japan's ideas of not having an army (even though the JSDF has broken this promise of sorts). More military spending it's not going to bring any good to anyone, specially coming from Europe and its record, specially the Brits.

Ask the Ukrainians how they feel about the Brits rn

Ask any of this countries, also include a couple more, Argentina specially, and since we're are it include all of Latin America since nobody wants them here, how they feel about the Brits. Ah, yeah, I forgot, one European country counts as x100 in contrast with a shitty third world country like ours in your book.

Argentina? Lol. You invaded UK territory that has oil reserves, what did you expect? A cucumber sandwich and some tea?

Neighbours mean more than strangers, pre Russian invasion no one really cared about Ukraine either. But when they asked for help in 2014 the UK, Canada etc helped.

The fucking what? How the hell is a fucking island that is next to my country UK territory you imperialist apologiser, you literally invaded as that's the only thing you have done in the last 300 years and all of a sudden is our fault? What a way to justify yourself, give back the fucking Malvinas. You have the more twisted mental gymnastics to justify the robbery of land, don't you?

Of course, because fascists with imperial past like to help out modern fascists.

Ok, so we can claim any territory as long as it's next door? Pretty sure Germany tried that.

Btw your sarcasm detector is broken mate.

Also

The National Reorganization Process (Spanish: Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, often simply el Proceso, "the Process") was the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983, which received support from the United States until 1982.

Actual fascists..lol

😂

Didn't the people living there want to stay part of the UK?

Ultimately that should be what decides it in all situations really, not stuff that happened in the past.
