  1. US Hints at Reconsidering Falklands Stance Amidst Iran War Fallout

    US considers reviewing UK's Falklands claim as punishment for NATO allies not supporting Iran conflict. Affects UK, Argentina, and NATO.

  2. The US is thinking about changing its view on who owns the Falkland Islands. This is because some NATO countries did not help enough during a possible war with Iran.

  3. This story is significant because it appears to move beyond ordinary alliance friction and into pressure on a core sovereignty issue. Current coverage describes backlash in Britain over reports that U.S. support for the U.K.’s Falklands claim could be reconsidered.

  4. I see three likely reasons for #Trump doing this:

    1. He's earnestly supporting Argentina to gain access to fossil fuel rights.
    2. He's purposely diverting British military resources from Ukraine and elsewhere to help his reshaping of the world order.
    3. He's just personally affronted by Starmer's refusal to bend the knee to him and acting childishly.

    3 is most likely, I think. Regardless, puts Farage and Reform in an awkward spot.

  8. Donald Trump mulling US position on #Falklands amid frustration with UK

    #Trump’s #US administration could review its position on the #UK’s claim to the Falkland Islands in retaliation for Keir #Starmer’s lack of support for the #war in #Iran.

    An internal Pentagon email set out options to punish Nato allies for refusing to join the #illegal #US-Israeli strikes against Iran.

    Firstly; let's not forget the hundreds of members of the forces who lost their lives in the Falklands War. And the many who are still suffering.

    Secondly; tricky one for #Farage Does he back his orange mate ? Or fly the flag for the Falklands ?

  11. Brothers in Arms - one of my fave #AntiWar songs from #DireStraits.

    It's about bonds between soldiers on both sides of trenches during the #FalklandsWar.
    #MarkKnopfler wrote the song in 1982, when the war happened. Falklands War was a conflict between #Argentina & #UnitedKingdom over islands off the coast of Argentina that each country claims rights to.

    A new version of the song was released in 2007 by Knopfler in order to raise money to bring #veterans of the war back to the #Falklands as a way to treat their #PTSD.

    Knopfler is one of my fave top 5 guitarists of all time 🎵🎸🎶 He is a brilliant songwriter too.
