    Personally l would hope you would try to get a little more detail and accuracy into your subsequent accounts. Rex Hunt did not “immediately surrender” after the invasion. A prolonged fire fight ensued and at least 3 Argentine commandos (probably more)were killed, the same thing happened on South Georgia. The Falklands were not given up without a fight and were rightly retaken weeks later.

      Because Argentina always claimed the Malvinas Islands and Great Britain never sat down to negotiate.
      UN Resolution 1514
      In its sixth paragraph, referring to the principle of territorial integrity, the resolution establishes that "any attempt aimed at the partial or total disruption of the national unity and territorial integrity of a country is incompatible with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations", establishing a clear position that where the territorial integrity of States is at risk, the application of self-determination should not be resorted to.

      UN Resolution 2065
      On December 16, 1965, the General Assembly adopted resolution 2065 -the first one exclusively referring to the Malvinas Question-, through which it recognized the existence of a sovereignty dispute between Argentina and the United Kingdom and invited both countries to negotiate in order to find a peaceful solution to the controversy.
      The importance of this resolution lies in the fact that it establishes the essential elements that define the Question and - consequently - the way in which it should be solved. These are:
      That the case of the Malvinas Islands is one of the forms of colonialism that must be put to an end.
      That this case involves a sovereignty dispute between the Argentine and British governments.
      That the way to find a solution is through bilateral negotiations between both governments.
      These negotiations should take into account the principles and purposes of the Charter and resolution 1514 (XV), as well as the interests of the population of the islands.
      It is important to note that resolution 2065 (XX) indicates that in the negotiations to find a solution to the dispute, the interests of the inhabitants of the islands must be taken into account, and not their wishes, excluding the application of self-determination in this particular case.

    I was living and working in Scotland at the time and as an American I was embarrassed and saddened by the US failure to support its most important ally. The US contributed some Intelligence and minor material support but it should have done more to assist a fellow NATO member. Haig was a total failure.

    • @carlteacherman194
      @carlteacherman194 Рік тому +1

      Don't be embarrased please. It was a lot more complicated than that. Have you read the book or seen the film 'Missing' with Sissy Spacek? 1973 and U.S. influence in South American affairs starting in Chile, Allende, Pinochet and all. Ironically (?) the film was released in February 1982 , 2 months before the invasion. The USA was between a rock and a hard place. Jean Kirkpatrick, Ronald Reagan's foreign policy advisor supported authoritarian governments as long as they followed US 'advice'. The Falklands War was the last thing the U.S. government wanted. Haig was just a figurehead and the public face of intermediacy. He did his job while the real work was being done. 🙂

    Maybe you should reflect on the cliched 'untrained Argentine conscripts'. A large proportion were not. They were well-trained professional soldiers who had been preparing and practising for many years. The invasion of the Falkland Islands was something that had been enshrined in Argentine military training whether enlisted or conscripted. A previous serious invasion attempt was thwarted in 1977.

    The usurping criminals are under criminal proceedings for robbery, so their arguments are neither morally nor ethically valid, nor do they conform to UN resolutions. Argentina is in the process of recovering the Malvinas Islands, in 1982 there has been an act in such a sense that although it has been the most visible, we must remember that it is not the first nor the last. Argentina is the 8th largest country in the world, which is home to many Argentine citizens native to the Malvinas Islands who have been expelled from that territory by the current gang of criminals that occupies it. There are also thousands of descendants of natives living in Argentina who are violently exiled for declaring themselves Argentines. All the parents of the occupants of the Malvinas Islands have married on the Argentine mainland and have all their relatives living on the Argentine mainland. All of them, thousands and thousands, are not allowed any right of expression and have been excluded and INVISIBLE from the entire FALSE English narrative of false elections. As if the criminals could also keep the stolen goods. Hopefully when the nuclear war breaks out with China and Russia, etc.. come as they have done in every world war to Argentina that will give them shelter as it has always done.🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷❤❤❤❤🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷

      Argentina call the islands "Islas Malvinas" which is the Spanish translation from French of "Les Iles Malouines".
      A Malouine is an inhabitant of the city of St. Malo in Brittany, France.
      Louis-Antoine de Bougainville was invloved in conquering the islands for Louis 15th and set up a trading company with people from St Malo settling on one part of islands. The British under Captain John Strong navigated another part. The Spanish fought and gained control of some parts from the French. Even the Dutch became involved!
      The true 'ownership' of these islands is complicated.
