THE MILEI AND THE FALKLANDS
Why will the latest
talks between Buenos Aires and London over the South Atlantic islands go
nowhere?
By Sir Charlattam
The great dissociation between reality and what governments present to public opinion can be seen in the current United Nations summit, which is taking place in the midst of expanding armed conflicts, brutal violations of human rights in all their dimensions and an obscene ratification by the governments that carry out these situations to continue committing them without fear of any legal consequences.
As has been very clear
for some time now, the United Nations is a forum of deaf people with no use for
the purposes for which it was created.
Argentina, as part of
this forum and with a problem of occupation of its South Atlantic islands, also
suffers from this dissociation between reality and political pretensions, which
is not new. After Menem's useless and highly damaging policy of surrender,
which has continued to the present day, the current government's approach to
the issue offers nothing better. Thus, after the meeting between the Argentine
foreign minister Diana Mondino and the British foreign minister David Lammy, we
once again sense that the “Casa Rosada” will once again remain under the shadow
of whatever is decided in the Foreign Office in London.
What was discussed
between the two representatives is nothing more than a return to the
FORADORI-DUNCAN agreement of the Macri era, a step backwards in Argentina's
claims and the ratification of the British agenda for the South Atlantic and
Antarctica. We are once again seeing the
repetition of boring and unsubstantial talks on this situation under the guidelines
that only benefit London and its Kelper´s employees. In this way they are
trying to satisfy the Argentinians with limited and well-monitored visits to
the islands under conditions that are nothing short of humiliating.
In reality nothing
different was to be expected with the Mileis. When David Cameron visited Mount
Pleasant complex for the purpose of reviewing the state of GCHQ's electronic
intelligence facilities and the garrison's military capabilities, the Milei
government did nothing and if it did, no one in London knew about it. This is
an openly Anglophile government with the added bonus of undeniable and highly
questionable alignment with Israel and all that goes with it.
As I said, the British
rulers are driving the agenda and the Argentine foreign ministry is merely
following it. In that agenda they raise points of treatment to make the
Argentinians believe that they are important for the resumption of talks, but
how conducive are these points to Argentina's claim to sovereignty?
Perhaps the clearest of
these points is the recognition and identification of Argentine combatants at
the Darwin cemetery - which, beyond humanitarian interest-, is an
attempt to manipulate the sensibilities of the Argentine collective as part of
a psychological war and counter-propaganda that never ended. In this, the
capital's Anglophilia, which reverberates through the media, did much to that
end, even making the then British ambassador Mark Kent a star of the show.
But while playing with
these smokescreens, British politicians and NATO rearmed the South Atlantic,
going against the grain of those tearful manipulations.
It is the eternal British habit of creating the impression that they are giving something away when in fact they are taking it away. Both ‘opponents’ and Anglophile governments like the present one fall for the same deception. I sincerely wonder what their opinion is of the naval movements to the islands that are increasing every year? In reality in London they know very well that Argentina poses no danger whatsoever and their politicians are a bunch of faint-hearted fuddy-duddies that you can fix with a few shillings.
Those same politicians
sell their constituents an unreality that, in the case of the Falkland Islands,
is as hazy as Britain's role in Ukraine, the Middle East and the China Sea. It
is certainly not ignorance or inability. Surely they can at least read and
should be informed of how the fascists in Kiev have been arming, sending
mercenaries to support Israel in Gaza and now northern Palestine and Royal Navy
ships to the Red Sea to support the massacres Netanyahu and his people are
carrying out.
Although British
politicians have for some time been able to conceal the deaths they have
caused, this should not have prospered with the incident of the ‘San Juan’
submarine, which was sunk in the South Atlantic in 2017, when all reports
pointed to the involvement of the Royal Navy with the complicity of the Chilean
Navy. If it came to nothing, it was thanks to the Argentine government and its
foreign ministry, which did not dare to ask Downing Street for explanations.
Today the circumstances
for Argentina to be able to negotiate something are much more complicated but
not impossible to try. Milei does not see that the war never ended, but only
changed, leaving firearms for intelligence, although with the reforms to the
AFI (converted into a British station), they imply a total domination of MI6
over Buenos Aires. But the problem is not only the government of Javier Milei
and his sister (the boss), but the lack of realism of Argentines in trying to
understand where they stand on this issue and where Britain stands today.
Keir Starmer's
government is not very different from the last Conservatives we have had such
as Theresa May, the idiot Boris Johnson or the banker Sunak. Not at all, it is
worse and in Buenos Aires they should be aware of it and take note. Starmer is
the most conservative of libertarians and that is already clear both from the
gifts to his wife and his authorisation to continue aiding the Kiev regime by
providing long-range missiles and increasing the budget for more weapons in
that war, all to spite the Russian Federation.
And as far as the South
Atlantic islands are concerned, I would not take lightly rumours of Starmer's
possible plans to set up detention camps for anti-immigration agitators in UK
offshore locations and in particular in the Falklands. Surely the MI5 boys -working
out of the embassy in Buenos Aires- have already done all the canvassing on
the ground to report on the desirability of the project. With the Milei
government and its obtuse foreign minister the Argentines should be even more
worried because, with their complacent policy, it would not be surprising if
(under the umbrella of security against terrorism) they are allowed to install
this kind of site somewhere remote in the vast Patagonia, i.e. on the continent
and under their very noses.
But beyond that,
Argentines should be aware that the Falklands are a growing centre of strategic
military operations, run by London but under NATO operational control.
