Lehman: British Would Have Lost Falklands War Without U.S. Support May 29, 1988 LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying. In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported. The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations. ADVERTISEMENT ″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying. U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said. ″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said. The newspaper quoted unidentified Pentagon sources as saying U.S. supplies during the war included 200 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles, eight Stinger anti-aircraft systems, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, mortar shells, satellite intelligence, communications facilities and use of a U.S. air base on Ascension Island.
Sin embargo, No, Realmente los politicos de este pais se centran mas en hablar de partidos viejos y de viejos personajes. Los jovenes estamos bastante cansados de que viejitos anden controlando al pais, No tienen ni idea de como se puede manejar un pais en la modernidad. En cuanto a malvinas. Es algo que tenemos como pueblo, Por lo tanto los lideres no lo dicen como propaganda. Lo dicen como un hecho.
Much like ours , I myself huv witnessed several incidents of shameless virtue signaling using las Malvinas as a political football tae display how truly British any given cvnt is , it is fckn pathetic, ah war that could’ve easily been avoided through diplomacy that quite rightly goat fckn laughed at at the time hus somehow , in the eyes of some , accrued some kind of credibility, wot , I ask could ever be credible about killing over 300 men needlessly, not to mention cruelly . Fact is people whae celebrate this colonial embarrassment often huv a yearning tae sing songs boot other hings , famine etc etc etc
An Argentine: The Malvinas are Argentine! British people: NONONOONOONONONONONONONONOTHEYAREOURSSSSIAMAPROOFGEOGRPHAAAHAHAHAHAHAYOUNOOBLOSTTHEWARRR *CRIESSSSSSSSS* Then they tell us "boy who plays the victim"
@@ulifox3xx 99.80% (1315) people voted to stay British 0.20% (3) people voted to join Argentina in the 2013 referendum , the culture is British , their language is British , the British were there before Argentina were even a country the British arrived in the Falklands in 1735 , Argentina was founded in 1816, Argentina is a Spanish colony , Falkland’s is a British colony its that simple , if that’s your logic then you Argentinians should leave Argentina give it back to the indigenous native people and move back to Spain
So Argentina got beat again just like 82 the Argentine go😊vment only talk about the Falklands when they are robbing the Argentine people Like Kincher be taking millons
I was in Argentina during that war. I have nothing but good things to say about the Argies. Great people. They hated the war and could see right through Galieteri.
Samson Wilkinson If that is the case, then Argentina should compensate thye murdered British citizens and pay suitable recompense for the damage they caused. No Falkland Islander was threatening anyone.
It's totally disrespectfull to train in the memorial . I'm argentinan and as a active argentinan soldier from My army i respect all the soldiers , specially the british and the people who died there.

Wrong, they were owned by Spain. The first goverment was Spanish, and if you look before that, the islands were occupied even for frenchies. When Argentina were declared as a country, they inherit the islands. The problem was that british went to falklands and stole them. Anyways, Argentina lost it by the war, and by the own people that live there (is their own decition so i respect, even is better for they if you see the internal problems of Argentina)
And what actually happened was that the UK discovered one of the islands with France discovering the other. Spain purchased the French settlement and tried to do the same with the British one, they refused and were kicked off the island by the Spanish. Then the UK threatened to go to war and France wasn't in a position where it could assist Spain so the Spaniards had to give the UK their settlement back.
Where was the Royal Falkland Police Forces anyway ? What I have heard of there were some more incidents with argentinian citizens waving their flags in inappropriate places lately.

I am from Asia ... just want to share with you that I got a chance to know an Argentinian during working. he is nice person and educated, very kind and helpful. I respect him not only he is older than me but coz of his personality. He told me one thing ... in Argentina, you can be a hero for just talking about Falklands. you can be a popular politician by just shouting on Falkland's issue.
That’s why they had a pop at the islands in the 80’s after 200 years of silence... their ever unpopular dictator wanted to up his ratings. To brain wash his people into thinking they’re trying to take back what’s theirs
Governments in Argentina have always used the 'Malvinas' issue as a distraction from the real issues when they had nothing else to offer . People in Argentina become very passionate and obsessed with this issue. They think that the day they get their beloved Malvinas ALL problems of the country will be be gone for good. In Australia Labour goverments bring up the 'Repubic of Australia' issue as a distraction when they don't have anything else to offer. However, they have failed badly as most of the people here do not want a Republic.

The argies got sent packing even against 22 marines it took them hours for the RM to surrender and that was due to them running out off ammo but before they surrendered they shot down a helicopter and disabled a 260ft warship with nothing but a DMR and a bazooka

@@kawagonzo6951 no, it is actually more simple than that, Regan asked to leave the islands and Maggie said no so he gave her some weapons so the UK could roll because the year or month before the Americans decided communism wasn’t an option. But even without support I think we would roll over the Argies, the Royal Marines are one of the best or the best, and Argentina had all their better troops at the Chilean border while conscripts at Falklands and probably some spec ops idk but they lost. The UK didn’t really have any other country to invade so the Marines and some SAS forces could obliterate the Argies (over exaggerating?).
Look mate, if I can count on one hand how many Falklanders want to join Argentina. Then it's a done case. Out of 3,500 people, 3 voted to leave. Get over it.

whatever your opinion on the Falkland islands... to deliberately antagonise people by training on the war memorial is just down right shameful. At the end of the day those were human beings that lost their life's and to try and discredit a memorial dedicated to them is disgusting. And the same applies to anyone British person that would try and discredit the human life lost on the Argentine side.
Its just sad - if they played nice they could benefit commercially instead they dwell on battles lost and trade goes elsewhere - there is a reason poverty and corruption blights Argentina
Exactly! I said this at the time of the referendum, the Argentine government had decades to just be pleasant and half decent to the islanders, but they chose to be aggressive and confrontational. No surprise that the vote to remain British was 98%. It's almost as though Argentinian politicians prefer not actually having the islands, but keeping them as a useful distraction for when things aren't going well domestically.
@@mattyrose8937 and @Trev S The government no longer uses them as a distraction since the people know of their plans. Corruption and Poverty are separate cases that we had for years because we are in Latin America, an underdeveloped region. You were lucky that the French Revolution came to you before, which you created before, it's all because of the past. Also, how are they going to vote for Argentina if you plagued them with patriotic British people? Apart from that they teach them a story that was not like that
The islands are in the Argentine sea, enjoy while you can, because you don't have much time left there, almost everyone supports the Argentine claim on the Malvinas
Argentina is a failed state, the only thing they have is football so when that is on break they need something to distract from their dismal situation, truth is they probably couldn't conquer an empty island let alone a British held one considering their current naval and financial situation.
this remember when top gear come here on ushuaia the number plate of the car say FKL982 and the numbers of the dead argentinian soldiers(idk if this true or fake), then clarkson pretended to apologize but end with a joke, meanwhile have a chilean flag (and allie on the war) both are disrrespectfull for the victims of the war (arg and UK), its just like a child fight
I jsut want to say this for any Argentinian that hates us. We didn’t go to war or we ain’t keeping the islands jsut to spite you Before you was a even a country (when you was ruled by Spain) we owned the islands, we sent our people there and that is their home now. When you attacked the island it wasn’t about property, it was because you stormed the island behind our governments back and took over the island which had our people on it. So we weren’t going to back down and let your country show us off like that. I wish the war never happened but we just claimed back what was ours. Just because some random pope in Italy who’s not even relevant today said that they are your islands means nothing to us

Where did you get that junk information that is false? I want what you smoke. Spain discovered them only in the Viceroyalty of Peru in 1500 and something (later it stayed in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.) You discovered them in 1600 or 1700, and you don't even have any evidence that you discovered them if you were above, not below. at least the malvinas already appeared on Spanish maps from 1500
Argentine claim over Falklands Island is simply illogical. All the European discovered and Settled on the islands long before Argentina become a thing. If Argentina for some fancy reason have the right to own the islands , then the French and the Spanish should also have a say about Conclusion: unreasonable claim by Argentina
The falklands where populated by argentinians till 1833 when the brits conquere them. Not by frenchs, not by spanyards, not by brits. You don't know in what the argentinian claim consist. You have never heard about the hostory of the islands and our point of vew. You are talking about something you ignore.
Ezequiel Siegel that is obviously false , I don’t care if you don’t believe in the truth, but the European arrived LONG BEFORE in 1764 & 1765 ,when Argentina was Not a country until the May revolution in 1810 . Argentinian did came once , but the European arrived long before, there is so many evidence to show that. Go ahead and learn some history
@@toveychurchill6468 No. There were som explorers in the islands. The brits were depoeted by the spanyards. When the united provinces revolt they reclaim all the territorys that once belong to spain, including the falklands. It is not false there are lots of evidence of the argentinian aetelements in the islans. That you are not capable to make a 2 mn search in google to figure it out only talks about how ignorant and stuborn you are. Folow your own example and learn some history.

It's not justifying the colonial past. If you read history, the islands where never inhabited by anyone and the UK claimed them before Argentina existed, a product of colonialism themselves. Falklanders want to be part of the UK Gibraltar ceded to Britain, again they Want to be be part of the UK Northern Ireland, again the majority want to be part of the UK. Oh, not very bright are you .
As long as those areas vote to remain British it's fine, the Canadians wanted an independence, they got one, the aussies wanted an independence, they got one, if the falklanders want an independence then they'll get one
if you actually gave the falklands to Argentina, they wouldn't know what to do with it. they certainly wouldn't want to live there that's for sure. they can't run economy in their own country let alone an island of foreigners. what do they actually want it for. Argentine is a vast country not too inhabited so what's the aim with these people?
I wonder if the British would give independence to any island around Great Britain if some foreigners lived there for some generations. How would that feel?
Using self-determination to violate the territorial integrity and national unity of another country is illegal under international law; it is an abusive way of applying self-determination and the UK shamefully and deceptively invokes self-determination, a tool that was conceived to eradicate colonialism, in order to perpetuate it. Do you actually believe that independence is even possible, even when the vast majority of UN member states disagrees with the British position? Please, stop believing the bullshit that the British government utters...
How can the U.K prove how democratic it anymore than it has??? Scottish Referendum, Gibraltar referendum and the E.U referendum. Has Argentina given referendum to its native's?
Kev t The British government has proven to be the most discriminatory and hypocritical government when it comes to democracy. None of those referendums you mentioned proves anything. Scotland is a constituent country of the UK and the British constitution does not prohibit its secession, so the British parliament cannot actually oppose the celebration of an independence referendum. Greenland has the exact same right within the Kingdom of Denmark and it can secede whenever it pleases to become an independent sovereign state. Besides, the British parliament allowed only an advisory referendum in order to avoid the Scottish nationalism to grow even more, which would have happened if the referendum had been denied. So the real question is, if a referendum results in the majority choosing Scottish independence, would the UK actually allow it right away? Happens the exact same thing with the EU. The constituent countries within a composite country are able to secede from such a union whenever they please. There’s nothing the EU can do to avoid one of its member states to secede from it. Those referendums are not comparable to that of Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. In those cases, the UK distorts the true purpose of the right of peoples to self-determination, a right that was conceived to eradicate colonialism, in order to perpetuate it and keep enjoying the benefits of those overseas territories, even though it perfectly knows that such a right is reserved for subjugated populations and cannot be used to violate the territorial integrity and national unity of independent states. In both cases the reason is mostly military. The Falkland Islands for example are literally the most militarized area in the world and gives the UK multiple economical and geopolitical benefits and advantages, and they even include a claim to Antarctica. Falkland Islanders and Gibraltarians are being used by the British government that puts them as an excuse to not terminate these colonial situations. You probably don’t know this, but the UK is responsible for the eviction of the entire population of the Chagos Archipelago who comply with all three of the criteria to be considered a people in international law (which is a juridical term, not an anthropological term) and thus entitled to self-determination, yet the Chagossians were not only denied self-determination, but they were evicted from their homeland for one reason only: rent the islands to a US military base. Of course this is not surprising when we’re talking about British Overseas territories. The Chagos Islands, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar are only three examples of how the UK instead of complying with international law and returning those territories to their legitimate states and peoples decides to ignore them. The UK invokes self-determination when it knows the outcome of the situation will be beneficial for itself. Where is the self-determination for the Chagos Islanders that are still struggling to return to their homeland? Also, if the UK cares more for self-determination than it does for international law, then where was self-determination for the six million Hongkongers when it returned Hong Kong to China? Can you see how hypocritical that is? It’s so blatant that is insulting to the rest of the world that does not approve this kind of attitudes at an international level. They don’t care for the people in these territories, they only care about strategy.
And what do you mean by “Has Argentina given referendum to it’s natives”? This kind of arguments fall apart when you realize a reality: Argentina is not Spain. Spain was the conquistador, Argentina was the libertador. Suggesting that Argentina is responsible for giving back the territories to the indigenous peoples is utterly ridiculous. Argentina was founded by the combined efforts of both European descendants and indigenous peoples fighting together against Spanish colonialism. You are basically saying that Argentina should give back the territory to the same peoples that founded her. The second Argentine governor of the Falkland Islands was a Guarani veteran of the Argentine war of independence. The Tehuelche people of Eastern Patagonia considered themselves to be Argentine and they were allies in the Conquest of the Desert against the Mapuches that were enemies of both Argentine border settlements and Tehuelche clans that were constantly massacred by their malones. Also, among all the current states in North and South America, Argentina is the only one of a few that has given up its own territory to let others establish their own states. When the United Provinces of South America (Argentina) established its own government after the May Revolution of 1810, there was one province that did not want to be under the Argentine government: Paraguay. After some struggles against the rebel province, Argentina let Paraguay become its own independent nation almost immediately. Uruguay was also a province called Banda Oriental that was conquered from Argentina through the Kingdom of Brazil. When Brazil emancipated from Portugal as the Empire of Brazil, Uruguay declared secession from it and swore loyalty to the United Provinces of South America. This led to a war for the control of the province and it was finally resolved with both countries letting Uruguay become an independent nation even though Uruguayans wanted to rejoin Argentina after being conquered by Portuguese Brazil. Also, even though Argentina had liberated itself and helped in the independence of Chile and Peru, she never succeeded in freeing its northernmost provinces from the Spanish army. This was achieved by the army of Simon Bolivar. When the Upper Peru (Bolivia) was free from Spanish rule, uti possidetis juris demanded the annexation of the territory to the legitimate successor state of the viceroyalty it belonged to at the moment of independence, this is, the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata, predecessor state of the United Provinces of South America. Even though the Upper Peru was part of Argentina, she gave its consent for the Upper Peruvians to decide for themselves. They were given three options: (a) integration with Argentina by the principle of uti possidetis juris, (b) integration to a state other than Argentina or (c) becoming independent. Bolivia chose independence.
There is no hypocrisy, nothing is as black and white as you trying to make out. How can a country ( Argentina ) try and overall / invade people, in this day and age that have inhabited land for 3 - 4 generations, it',s cruel and unjustifiable. If that's o.k, then your basically saying that parts of Scandinavia have a right to take England because they took England hundreds of years ago. Hong kong was leased to the U.K. Every national born there after 1898 was well aware of that. No falklander was aware that Argentina was going to try and take it back. My comment about natives was in respect to the indigenous people of Argentina. If you want to use history dated back 200 years, then lets go further. Did the indigenous people ever have a referendum... hypocrisy?
Yet I don’t want China to be involved with Argentine relations. What I do want is that Britain to get involved with Korea being unified so Japan could have the closest ties with Argentina than with Korea all because of this. Japan involving a war with Britain is what will have Argentina to back Japan, that way same as Takeshima, a British Korea will make Japan and Argentina become closer allies and the strongest ties in the world so Argentina and Japan could have the best relations in common to see a British Korea and yet Argentina in favor of Japan over the Liancourt Rocks to see Argentina to join Team Takeshima. That way if I get to see British Korea is that Japan will make with Argentina to be similar with the US and Israel. British Korea will make Argentina into the Israel for Japan. Just like USA is for Israel, I would love to see Japan be for Argentina on seeing a British Korea.

They are waiting for you to kick out as soon as you set up foot there. Jorge if the Argentines cannot run their country successfully, how are they going to run the Falklands?
The Argentinian Invasion and the continuing tension are pure political machinations. Argentina was struggling under an authoritarian government for decades and it was getting consistently worse. To distract the citizens from how bad the country was under their rule, the Argentine government started to antagonize the U.K. over ownership of the islands. Whenever anyone points out that the U.K. has a far stronger claim to the islands than Argentina does, they are accused of being whatever thing that person happens to hate most. You’d be surprised how little respect you can have for someone after they call you a hippie communist for believing in democracy.
Funny you should say that, we actually have some of the best dental care on Earth. I have a question for you though, how did Argentina lose a conflict that was not only located right next to their country, but also with a defensive advantage after a sneak attack?

Remember, your rulers underestimated the war, and were about to lose it, what's more, they won not on their own merit, but because of the deficiency of the high-ranking Argentine military, who planned the war in a frightening way. Watch videos of your sailors, how they trembled when an Argentine plane surprised them at their sides, and don't forget that everything comes back, if the USA falls, or stops giving you support, you are nothing, because without them you would not have won the war either, the The vast majority of the world supports the Argentine claim, countries like Russia, North Korea or China, which can make you disappear militarily, support us, greet English cold chest

@@TerrierMartello Putting squatters in other peoples property doesn't mean it belongs to you. This is the ridiculous claim of British colonialism that it uses in all its stolen territories. It is the same in the six-counties in the north of Ireland where settlers were installed three-hundred years ago. Then maintained as a separate privileged caste based on their religion attached to the racist, sectarianism of the British empire with an artificial line drawn around them never to assimilate into the oppressed population. Islas Malvinas is as much Argentinian territory as the six Irish counties in the north of Ireland is Irish territory, which by the way, now have a majority of people who are not so-called unionists. The Malvinas islands will be populated by Argentine people as well as the descendants of the Welsh squatters who now live there if and when the British military garrison is removed. And incidentally, the land of the islands is supposedly owned by a company called The Falkland Islands Company based in Britain, and not the people living on the islands. This is the farce and hypocrisy of British colonialism, the greatest evil in history.
@@mikki3562 the Falklands were claimed before Argentina existed, and they were uninhabited. Oh, and what your saying is, just because Argentina wants the BRITISH PEOPLE in Argentina, they should be in Argentina, despite the people, not wanting to be in Argentina
@@TerrierMartello The Malvinas islands were occupied by the same Spanish people who occupied Argentina and later became an independent nation. It was then and now the same territory belonging to Argentina. The British invaded and forced out the Spanish/Argentine people and installed squatters as tenants of the so-called Falkland Islands Company. The islands are Argentine national territory stolen by the British, and it can never be anything other than colonial theft. Eventually Argentina will regain its territory from British banditry and its hypocritical claim to other peoples lands.

@@welsh-cymru1588 How misinformed that you are, comrade, it is obvious that the islanders are going to want to continue being British, that they speak English and their culture is British, for the simple fact that when the United Kingdom usurped the islands, it expelled all the Argentines who governed them and they inhabited At that time, the islands had the Argentine flag, Spanish was spoken, and people lived with Argentine culture. And with the fact that we should return to Spain, I would like to tell you that we are much more Italian than Spanish, let's start from that base, today in various regions of Argentina (especially in the north) there are various indigenous cultures, which are complemented by the European immigrants who arrived, to give rise to the Argentine culture, I continued living in your English bubble, remember that your soldiers did not have a good time when we tried to recover them in 1982, and everything comes back, when your partner USA falls you will be left alone, and totally bulnerabld

@@anthemsd Primero, las islas son argentinas sin importar quién esté en ellas y ninguna usurpación colonial va a cambiar el derecho del pueblo argentino a su integridad territorial. Por supuesto que los isleños no aprueban al gobierno argentino, ninguna población extranjera lo haría, simplemente porque no son argentinos, ese es un argumento ridículo. Ninguna disputa territorial fue jamás resuelta a través de la libre determinación, especialmente en circunstancias coloniales como esta, ¿por qué estos habitantes sería diferentes? Sin mencionar por supuesto que las Naciones Unidas ya establecieron el proceso de descolonización del territorio a través de la integridad territorial y no de la libre determinación y que también la libre determinación no puede ser utilizada para atentar contra la integridad territorial de un pueblo. No se necesita un entendimiento muy profundo del derecho internacional para llegar a estas conclusiones.
@@anthemsd Ah, y casi me olvido, es una ridiculez decir que no serían representados, la Constitución Argentina misma se compromete a respetar el estilo de vida de los isleños, además del hecho de que su voto sería bienvenido en las elecciones presidenciales y demás. Que no les guste no es relevante en lo más mínimo. Te doy un ejemplo: cuando Marruecos se independizó de Francia gracias a la libre determinación de los pueblos, reclamó el territorio de Ifni que estaba bajo control colonial español. Francia se lo había cedido a España mientras Marruecos era colonia, por lo tanto la Corte Internacional de Justicia analizó la situación y declaró que la colonia de Ifni no podía tener libre determinación porque era una parte integral de Marruecos ilegalmente desmembrada por España, entonces el territorio fue reintegrado a Marruecos. Luego, Marruecos reclamó el Sahara Occidental, pero la corte analizó la situación y dijo que, si bien existían conexiones históricas entre el Sahara Occidental y Marruecos, no constituían títulos de soberanía y los sahrawíes tenían el derecho de libre determinación. Como ves, hay dos formas de descolonizar un territorio: 1) la libre determinación de un pueblo y 2) la integridad territorial de un pueblo. Cuando una colonia fue creada a través del desmembramiento de territorio de un estado que todavía existe, entonces dicho territorio tiene que ser reintegrado a dicho estado, como es el caso de las Islas Malvinas.

Lehman: British Would Have Lost Falklands War Without U.S. Support
May 29, 1988
LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying.
In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported.
The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations.

″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying.
U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said.
″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said.
The newspaper quoted unidentified Pentagon sources as saying U.S. supplies during the war included 200 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles, eight Stinger anti-aircraft systems, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, mortar shells, satellite intelligence, communications facilities and use of a U.S. air base on Ascension Island.

The islands were never argentinian, the british owned the island 100 years before argentina was a country.
What about Falklands being it’s own country instead of Britain believing they have a right to other countries.
@@xGribbles Falkland Islanders voted like 99% in favour of remaining British
nop, 1833 usurpacion pirata, saludos desde el sheffield, kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Wrong, they were owned by Spain. The first goverment was Spanish, and if you look before that, the islands were occupied even for frenchies. When Argentina were declared as a country, they inherit the islands. The problem was that british went to falklands and stole them. Anyways, Argentina lost it by the war, and by the own people that live there (is their own decition so i respect, even is better for they if you see the internal problems of Argentina)
And what actually happened was that the UK discovered one of the islands with France discovering the other. Spain purchased the French settlement and tried to do the same with the British one, they refused and were kicked off the island by the Spanish. Then the UK threatened to go to war and France wasn't in a position where it could assist Spain so the Spaniards had to give the UK their settlement back.
The UK should have deported the guy and prevented him to compete
Where was the Royal Falkland Police Forces anyway ? What I have heard of there were some more incidents with argentinian citizens waving their flags in inappropriate places lately.

That was in 1982, that is no longer used as a distraction because we already know that.
Argentina has always had a economic crisis every year since its independence. It used to be a first world country but now its a third world country.
The argies got sent packing even against 22 marines it took them hours for the RM to surrender and that was due to them running out off ammo but before they surrendered they shot down a helicopter and disabled a 260ft warship with nothing but a DMR and a bazooka

Lehman: British Would Have Lost Falklands War Without U.S. Support
May 29, 1988
LONDON (AP) _ Britain would not have recaptured the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1982 without U.S. military assistance, former U.S. Navy Secretary John Lehman was quoted Sunday as saying.
In a British Broadcasting Corp. television interview to be broadcast Wednesday night, Lehman also says U.S. involvement in the Falklands war led indirectly to the Irangate scandal, the Observer newspaper reported.
The weekly said Lehman’s interview will be included in the latest episode of ″An Ocean Apart,″ a BBC documentary series on British-American relations.

″Britain would have had to have withdraw from the Falklands″ if the Reagan administration withheld support, it quoted Lehman as saying.
U.S. military aid in the 74-day war, in which Britain recaptured the South Atlantic archipelago from invading Argentine forces, has been a closely guarded secret, the Observer said.
″Lehman is the first senior U.S. official to claim that the Pentagon’s supplies of intelligence and material were so great as to have been decisive,″ it said.
The newspaper quoted unidentified Pentagon sources as saying U.S. supplies during the war included 200 Sidewinder anti-aircraft missiles, eight Stinger anti-aircraft systems, Harpoon anti-ship missiles, mortar shells, satellite intelligence, communications facilities and use of a U.S. air base on Ascension Island.
inn 82 argentina rejected Soviet Union help knowing it will lead to the ww3...but England did not rejected the help pf USA!....whos the board now??
The shame of Argentina.
whatever your opinion on the Falkland islands... to deliberately antagonise people by training on the war memorial is just down right shameful. At the end of the day those were human beings that lost their life's and to try and discredit a memorial dedicated to them is disgusting. And the same applies to anyone British person that would try and discredit the human life lost on the Argentine side.
Well said not only that how many islanders would want to become citizens of Argentina
Next time the brits might no hold back.
Even sneakier than the last time!

Was it something like FKL82?
Its just sad - if they played nice they could benefit commercially instead they dwell on battles lost and trade goes elsewhere - there is a reason poverty and corruption blights Argentina
Exactly! I said this at the time of the referendum, the Argentine government had decades to just be pleasant and half decent to the islanders, but they chose to be aggressive and confrontational. No surprise that the vote to remain British was 98%.
It's almost as though Argentinian politicians prefer not actually having the islands, but keeping them as a useful distraction for when things aren't going well domestically.
@@mattyrose8937Its pointless them whining now - Once blood has been shed on the scale of 1982 there's no going back
@@mattyrose8937 and @Trev S The government no longer uses them as a distraction since the people know of their plans. Corruption and Poverty are separate cases that we had for years because we are in Latin America, an underdeveloped region.

Also, how are they going to vote for Argentina if you plagued them with patriotic British people? Apart from that they teach them a story that was not like that

It’s just you.
Both a legend and a hero
I jsut want to say this for any Argentinian that hates us. We didn’t go to war or we ain’t keeping the islands jsut to spite you
Before you was a even a country (when you was ruled by Spain) we owned the islands, we sent our people there and that is their home now. When you attacked the island it wasn’t about property, it was because you stormed the island behind our governments back and took over the island which had our people on it. So we weren’t going to back down and let your country show us off like that. I wish the war never happened but we just claimed back what was ours. Just because some random pope in Italy who’s not even relevant today said that they are your islands means nothing to us

Where did you get that junk information that is false? I want what you smoke. Spain discovered them only in the Viceroyalty of Peru in 1500 and something (later it stayed in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata.) You discovered them in 1600 or 1700, and you don't even have any evidence that you discovered them if you were above, not below. at least the malvinas already appeared on Spanish maps from 1500
Cosmic Kite...What planet have you come from, that you can leave so many Englishmen in your wake??? 😉
1:50, that was violation personally I just wouldn’t have it
Argentine claim over Falklands Island is simply illogical. All the European discovered and Settled on the islands long before Argentina become a thing. If Argentina for some fancy reason have the right to own the islands , then the French and the Spanish should also have a say about
Conclusion: unreasonable claim by Argentina
The falklands where populated by argentinians till 1833 when the brits conquere them. Not by frenchs, not by spanyards, not by brits. You don't know in what the argentinian claim consist. You have never heard about the hostory of the islands and our point of vew. You are talking about something you ignore.
Ezequiel Siegel that is obviously false , I don’t care if you don’t believe in the truth, but the European arrived LONG BEFORE in 1764 & 1765 ,when Argentina was Not a country until the May revolution in 1810 . Argentinian did came once , but the European arrived long before, there is so many evidence to show that. Go ahead and learn some history

If Argies talks this way then they can to claim lands.
Falklands is British and has been for more than 500 years. Argentina has nothing to do with the Falklands.
How can England keep justifying its colonial past? What’s next, they gonna take Northern Ireland & Gibraltar?
Oh wait…
It's not justifying the colonial past.
If you read history, the islands where never inhabited by anyone and the UK claimed them before Argentina existed, a product of colonialism themselves.
Falklanders want to be part of the UK
Gibraltar ceded to Britain, again they Want to be be part of the UK
Northern Ireland, again the majority want to be part of the UK.
Oh, not very bright are you .
As long as those areas vote to remain British it's fine, the Canadians wanted an independence, they got one, the aussies wanted an independence, they got one, if the falklanders want an independence then they'll get one
remember, we will return for our lost sisters !!!
I highly doubt that in today's world
Dream on....lol
Yes and you will lose again. Cope :)
if you actually gave the falklands to Argentina, they wouldn't know what to do with it. they certainly wouldn't want to live there that's for sure. they can't run economy in their own country let alone an island of foreigners. what do they actually want it for. Argentine is a vast country not too inhabited so what's the aim with these people?
SHOULD OF GAVE THEM ARGIES A NUCLEAR SUNSET AND WINTER ,,, 3 OR 4 NUKES AT MOST GAME OVER INSTEAD OF ALL THE FUSS SENDING A TASK FORCE
Uhh, calm down bub that would start a world war. Defeating their army was enough.
Nukes are more expensive than a task force mate 🤣
I wonder if the British would give independence to any island around Great Britain if some foreigners lived there for some generations. How would that feel?
Using self-determination to violate the territorial integrity and national unity of another country is illegal under international law; it is an abusive way of applying self-determination and the UK shamefully and deceptively invokes self-determination, a tool that was conceived to eradicate colonialism, in order to perpetuate it. Do you actually believe that independence is even possible, even when the vast majority of UN member states disagrees with the British position? Please, stop believing the bullshit that the British government utters...
How can the U.K prove how democratic it anymore than it has???
Scottish Referendum, Gibraltar referendum and the E.U referendum. Has Argentina given referendum to its native's?
Kev t The British government has proven to be the most discriminatory and hypocritical government when it comes to democracy. None of those referendums you mentioned proves anything.
Scotland is a constituent country of the UK and the British constitution does not prohibit its secession, so the British parliament cannot actually oppose the celebration of an independence referendum. Greenland has the exact same right within the Kingdom of Denmark and it can secede whenever it pleases to become an independent sovereign state. Besides, the British parliament allowed only an advisory referendum in order to avoid the Scottish nationalism to grow even more, which would have happened if the referendum had been denied. So the real question is, if a referendum results in the majority choosing Scottish independence, would the UK actually allow it right away?
Happens the exact same thing with the EU. The constituent countries within a composite country are able to secede from such a union whenever they please. There’s nothing the EU can do to avoid one of its member states to secede from it.
Those referendums are not comparable to that of Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands. In those cases, the UK distorts the true purpose of the right of peoples to self-determination, a right that was conceived to eradicate colonialism, in order to perpetuate it and keep enjoying the benefits of those overseas territories, even though it perfectly knows that such a right is reserved for subjugated populations and cannot be used to violate the territorial integrity and national unity of independent states. In both cases the reason is mostly military. The Falkland Islands for example are literally the most militarized area in the world and gives the UK multiple economical and geopolitical benefits and advantages, and they even include a claim to Antarctica. Falkland Islanders and Gibraltarians are being used by the British government that puts them as an excuse to not terminate these colonial situations.
You probably don’t know this, but the UK is responsible for the eviction of the entire population of the Chagos Archipelago who comply with all three of the criteria to be considered a people in international law (which is a juridical term, not an anthropological term) and thus entitled to self-determination, yet the Chagossians were not only denied self-determination, but they were evicted from their homeland for one reason only: rent the islands to a US military base. Of course this is not surprising when we’re talking about British Overseas territories. The Chagos Islands, the Falkland Islands and Gibraltar are only three examples of how the UK instead of complying with international law and returning those territories to their legitimate states and peoples decides to ignore them. The UK invokes self-determination when it knows the outcome of the situation will be beneficial for itself. Where is the self-determination for the Chagos Islanders that are still struggling to return to their homeland? Also, if the UK cares more for self-determination than it does for international law, then where was self-determination for the six million Hongkongers when it returned Hong Kong to China? Can you see how hypocritical that is? It’s so blatant that is insulting to the rest of the world that does not approve this kind of attitudes at an international level. They don’t care for the people in these territories, they only care about strategy.
And what do you mean by “Has Argentina given referendum to it’s natives”? This kind of arguments fall apart when you realize a reality: Argentina is not Spain. Spain was the conquistador, Argentina was the libertador. Suggesting that Argentina is responsible for giving back the territories to the indigenous peoples is utterly ridiculous. Argentina was founded by the combined efforts of both European descendants and indigenous peoples fighting together against Spanish colonialism. You are basically saying that Argentina should give back the territory to the same peoples that founded her. The second Argentine governor of the Falkland Islands was a Guarani veteran of the Argentine war of independence. The Tehuelche people of Eastern Patagonia considered themselves to be Argentine and they were allies in the Conquest of the Desert against the Mapuches that were enemies of both Argentine border settlements and Tehuelche clans that were constantly massacred by their malones.
Also, among all the current states in North and South America, Argentina is the only one of a few that has given up its own territory to let others establish their own states. When the United Provinces of South America (Argentina) established its own government after the May Revolution of 1810, there was one province that did not want to be under the Argentine government: Paraguay. After some struggles against the rebel province, Argentina let Paraguay become its own independent nation almost immediately. Uruguay was also a province called Banda Oriental that was conquered from Argentina through the Kingdom of Brazil. When Brazil emancipated from Portugal as the Empire of Brazil, Uruguay declared secession from it and swore loyalty to the United Provinces of South America. This led to a war for the control of the province and it was finally resolved with both countries letting Uruguay become an independent nation even though Uruguayans wanted to rejoin Argentina after being conquered by Portuguese Brazil. Also, even though Argentina had liberated itself and helped in the independence of Chile and Peru, she never succeeded in freeing its northernmost provinces from the Spanish army. This was achieved by the army of Simon Bolivar. When the Upper Peru (Bolivia) was free from Spanish rule, uti possidetis juris demanded the annexation of the territory to the legitimate successor state of the viceroyalty it belonged to at the moment of independence, this is, the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata, predecessor state of the United Provinces of South America. Even though the Upper Peru was part of Argentina, she gave its consent for the Upper Peruvians to decide for themselves. They were given three options: (a) integration with Argentina by the principle of uti possidetis juris, (b) integration to a state other than Argentina or (c) becoming independent. Bolivia chose independence.
There is no hypocrisy, nothing is as black and white as you trying to make out.
How can a country ( Argentina ) try and overall / invade people, in this day and age that have inhabited land for 3 - 4 generations, it',s cruel and unjustifiable.
If that's o.k, then your basically saying that parts of Scandinavia have a right to take England because they took England hundreds of years ago.
Hong kong was leased to the U.K. Every national born there after 1898 was well aware of that.
No falklander was aware that Argentina was going to try and take it back.
My comment about natives was in respect to the indigenous people of Argentina. If you want to use history dated back 200 years, then lets go further. Did the indigenous people ever have a referendum... hypocrisy?
It is her country
Yet I don’t want China to be involved with Argentine relations.
What I do want is that Britain to get involved with Korea being unified so Japan could have the closest ties with Argentina than with Korea all because of this.
Japan involving a war with Britain is what will have Argentina to back Japan, that way same as Takeshima, a British Korea will make Japan and Argentina become closer allies and the strongest ties in the world so Argentina and Japan could have the best relations in common to see a British Korea and yet Argentina in favor of Japan over the Liancourt Rocks to see Argentina to join Team Takeshima.
That way if I get to see British Korea is that Japan will make with Argentina to be similar with the US and Israel.
British Korea will make Argentina into the Israel for Japan.
Just like USA is for Israel, I would love to see Japan be for Argentina on seeing a British Korea.

Look the war happened decades ago, get over it. Both sides tragically lost lives, the end.
The Argentinian Invasion and the continuing tension are pure political machinations. Argentina was struggling under an authoritarian government for decades and it was getting consistently worse. To distract the citizens from how bad the country was under their rule, the Argentine government started to antagonize the U.K. over ownership of the islands.
Whenever anyone points out that the U.K. has a far stronger claim to the islands than Argentina does, they are accused of being whatever thing that person happens to hate most. You’d be surprised how little respect you can have for someone after they call you a hippie communist for believing in democracy.

Then maintained as a separate privileged caste based on their religion attached to the racist, sectarianism of the British empire with an artificial line drawn around them never to assimilate into the oppressed population. Islas Malvinas is as much Argentinian territory as the six Irish counties in the north of Ireland is Irish territory, which by the way, now have a majority of people who are not so-called unionists. The Malvinas islands will be populated by Argentine people as well as the descendants of the Welsh squatters who now live there if and when the British military garrison is removed.

If this is your logic then you should you give Argentina back to the indigenous People and move back to Europe
@@welsh-cymru1588 How misinformed that you are, comrade, it is obvious that the islanders are going to want to continue being British, that they speak English and their culture is British, for the simple fact that when the United Kingdom usurped the islands, it expelled all the Argentines who governed them and they inhabited At that time, the islands had the Argentine flag, Spanish was spoken, and people lived with Argentine culture. And with the fact that we should return to Spain, I would like to tell you that we are much more Italian than Spanish, let's start from that base, today in various regions of Argentina (especially in the north) there are various indigenous cultures, which are complemented by the European immigrants who arrived, to give rise to the Argentine culture, I continued living in your English bubble, remember that your soldiers did not have a good time when we tried to recover them in 1982, and everything comes back, when your partner USA falls you will be left alone, and totally bulnerabld

Once a pirate, always a pirate... Reparations to your former colonies, English pirates!
Why ? The strong should not submit to the weak
@@grainherstal1912 It's called morality and ethics, but you wouldn't understand that! And you used to be strong!
@@settembrini33 yeah and you never were
@@settembrini33 this world is nothing but winners and loser, the strong lives and the weak dies.
Any situations or any circumstances that occured in this planet, as a leader of a country you should only prioritize your country alone and no one else.
It's not a colony tho, technically speaking it's pure British core territory since they were the first to inhabitate the island and are still the majority in the island. The Falklands are as British as London is

Actualmente las Malvinas tienen su 100% de la población británica. La gente va estar en desacuerdo de estar con alguien que no los representa. Es como si a México le das Texas los americanos de allá no estarían felices de ser parte de un gobierno con gente diferente a ellos. Incluso aunque México lo tuvo así miles de años ya no tendria sentirlo tenerlo. Te >> Mate
@@anthemsd ¿Y por qué sería eso relevante? Sometiéndose a las demandas de la población proveniente del estado agresor no es cómo se resuelve un abuso colonialista en derecho internacional. Te aviso nomás.
@@rhinarium3984 pero vas a ser que la población este infeliz con su gobierno ya que ellos no estarían siendo representados
@@anthemsd Primero, las islas son argentinas sin importar quién esté en ellas y ninguna usurpación colonial va a cambiar el derecho del pueblo argentino a su integridad territorial. Por supuesto que los isleños no aprueban al gobierno argentino, ninguna población extranjera lo haría, simplemente porque no son argentinos, ese es un argumento ridículo. Ninguna disputa territorial fue jamás resuelta a través de la libre determinación, especialmente en circunstancias coloniales como esta, ¿por qué estos habitantes sería diferentes? Sin mencionar por supuesto que las Naciones Unidas ya establecieron el proceso de descolonización del territorio a través de la integridad territorial y no de la libre determinación y que también la libre determinación no puede ser utilizada para atentar contra la integridad territorial de un pueblo. No se necesita un entendimiento muy profundo del derecho internacional para llegar a estas conclusiones.
@@anthemsd Ah, y casi me olvido, es una ridiculez decir que no serían representados, la Constitución Argentina misma se compromete a respetar el estilo de vida de los isleños, además del hecho de que su voto sería bienvenido en las elecciones presidenciales y demás. Que no les guste no es relevante en lo más mínimo.
Te doy un ejemplo: cuando Marruecos se independizó de Francia gracias a la libre determinación de los pueblos, reclamó el territorio de Ifni que estaba bajo control colonial español. Francia se lo había cedido a España mientras Marruecos era colonia, por lo tanto la Corte Internacional de Justicia analizó la situación y declaró que la colonia de Ifni no podía tener libre determinación porque era una parte integral de Marruecos ilegalmente desmembrada por España, entonces el territorio fue reintegrado a Marruecos. Luego, Marruecos reclamó el Sahara Occidental, pero la corte analizó la situación y dijo que, si bien existían conexiones históricas entre el Sahara Occidental y Marruecos, no constituían títulos de soberanía y los sahrawíes tenían el derecho de libre determinación. Como ves, hay dos formas de descolonizar un territorio: 1) la libre determinación de un pueblo y 2) la integridad territorial de un pueblo. Cuando una colonia fue creada a través del desmembramiento de territorio de un estado que todavía existe, entonces dicho territorio tiene que ser reintegrado a dicho estado, como es el caso de las Islas Malvinas.
