After Argentina won the World Cup, it was once on the global hot search list. Russian President Putin also expressed congratulations to the Argentine President via phone immediately after the game. During the phone call, Putin also gave his own position on the Falklands issue, expressing Russia's support for Argentina's sovereignty over the Falklands.
Vice Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Medvedev also publicly shouted to the United Kingdom, calling on the British to get out of the Falklands and return the Falklands to Argentina. He also ridiculed that British Prime Minister Sunak previously said that "Russian troops should withdraw from Ukraine before negotiations are possible." This is very hypocritical. The implication is that the British occupied the Falklands in Argentina, so why did they have the nerve to ask Russia to withdraw its troops?
is simply shameless.
At the same time, Medvedev also encouraged Argentina to "win in the diplomatic field just like it won the World Cup." In fact, it encourages Argentina to declare to the world the sovereignty of the Falklands.
There was news recently that after the Argentine team returned to China, they refused an interview with the Argentine president because they did not want political interference. The reason why they have such concerns is because someone may make a fuss about it.
For example, we saw Russia (no malicious intent). Russia emphasized its position by congratulating Argentina. In fact, it hopes to get support from Argentina. After all, Russia is now almost an enemy of the entire Western world. Among the few remaining friendly countries, Argentina is one of them. So it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with it.
In fact, Russia’s emphasis on the ownership of the Falklands is also to disgust the British. Because the British "appearance rate" is too high recently. For example, not long after the Russia-Ukraine war broke out, the Nord Stream pipeline exploded. According to Russia, there is already evidence to prove that this terrorist act was carried out by the British Royal Navy. Later, the Russian Black Sea Fleet was attacked by a drone, which resulted in the destruction of many ships. The British were also accused by Russia of participating in the planning and even directly participating in the operation. In the first ten days of this month, the airport in Russia was bombed, causing heavy losses. After analysis, the Russian side believed that only the participation of the British could complete the attack. Otherwise, it would not be possible to rely solely on the power of Ukraine.
Putting aside the previous grudges, the actions of the British on the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield this year alone are enough for Russia to carry out unlimited retaliatory actions, not to mention that to this day, the British are still continuously delivering advanced weapons to the Ukrainian front line. No wonder the former Vice Chairman of the Russian Duma said that if World War III is unavoidable, Russia will wipe London off the face of the earth as soon as possible.
Judging from the current situation, erasing London ten times would not be too much.
In order to regain the Falklands, Argentina has actually been making preparations for many years, especially in the military field. It had in-depth military cooperation with my country before, but it has recently been disrupted by Westerners. This is an opportunity for Russia, because the advancement of Russian-made weapons is no less advanced than those of the United States and the West, and the price is relatively cheap. If Russia and Argentina can reach long-term military cooperation, it will solve an urgent need for Russia, and Argentina can also improve its own strength to a higher level.
In fact, the entire Falklands incident illustrates one thing. Although modern society seems to be more civilized, it is still essentially the law of the jungle of "the weak and the strong". Any rights and interests must be based on one's own strength. Justice can only be found within the range of cannons, and truth can only be found above swords. For Argentina, arming itself is the top priority, at least for the Falklands issue.
In the same way, just like our country's Taiwan Island , the People's Liberation Army cannot relax a little and must maintain its force advantage at all times before the other party can agree to a peaceful solution. If the military strength is not enough to challenge the other party, how can we talk about sovereignty issues?
So our advice to Argentina is that on the one hand, it cannot interrupt its claim to the Falklands, which is the most important way to win international public opinion. On the other hand, it must improve its own armed forces. There cannot be any slack. The UK today is not the UK in the 1980s. Their strength is far from as strong as it seems. As long as the Argentines stick to their beliefs, the Falklands will definitely return to the hands of the Argentines.
