You may recall it’s been about 25 years… nearly to the day… that the UK was embroiled in the Falklands dispuite.
CNN is reporting today:
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Argentina marked the 25th anniversary of its failed attempt to regain the Falkland Islands by force on Monday and reasserted claims to the South Atlantic archipelago.
“Neither war nor the passage of time changes reality: The Malvinas are Argentine,” said Vice President Daniel Scioli, using the islands’ Argentine name, as 5,000 people, many of them veterans of the 1982 war with Britain, applauded.
“We call upon the United Kingdom to heed international calls and resume negotiations,” Scioli said during the ceremony in Argentina’s southernmost city of Ushuaia — 440 miles (710 kilometers) southwest of the islands.
Now, you may ask why they’d pick now to do that…
Could it be that the sharks smell blood in the water, following the less than great outcome with Iran?
