The Truth about Falklanders and why Argentina can't lose

Day 1,965, 08:05 • Published in Netherlands Ireland • by Death and Taxes

Greetings.

It appears that I might be ssMoFA for The Netherlands. I have no idea what this means. I'm assuming that it involves some minor minion role in Foreign Affairs. It should be relatively easy, after all, we don't appear to have a country at the moment, so I guess I would be representing an idea, an exercise in semantics I assume.

Well, it occurs to me that at the very least it requires me to write an article about current state of affairs that might be of interest to you, dear reader, as well as catching up on my recent lack of article writing.

So today we are going to talk about recent developments in Argentina, UK and Ireland. We'll start by concentrating on a fairly insignificant bunch of islands off the Argentinian coast.



Now, we're going to call these islands The Falklands and not Las Malvinas, because I couldn't be assed playing the / game, and whether you like it or not, the islands are currently under the control of HM forces, so Falklands it is.

However, I would draw your attention to a recent revisionism taking place surrounding the reason Argentina invaded the islands in the first place. If you look at the flag of the Falklands above, I draw your attention to two things. First, at the top of the flag appears the image of a ram - a male sheep. Second, I draw your attention to the motto 'Desire the Right'. Now, I don't know about you, but when I see images of sheep combined with 'desire the right' it can only mean one thing

Accordingly, we now know that the invasion of the Falklands was not an act of aggression, but actually a well armed delegation intent on protecting animal rights. Shame on the UK for protecting the islanders 'desire the right' and planting doubts that Argentina acted in any way dishonourably..




As you can see from the image above, Argentina is having a rather massive babyboom at the moment, so with the changes in requirements for airstrikes, have decided rather cleverly to invade the UK on the anniversary of the original Falklands invasion, 2nd April.

The key to any airstrike is the initial hit, lose the first battle and the whole plan comes to nothing. I was there for the initial campaign in East Midlands and regardless of what people say, the UK put 100% into trying the stop the airstrike in its tracks and failed.

Considering the airstrike was well flagged in advance and that TWO have a massive advantage in influence, the question arises, is the UK well down the list of TWO priorities, or does it suit TWO/CoT for the invasion to be successful?

To complicate things, Spain decided to get in on the act by launching their own airstrike on Argentina. So at the moment we have the following situation



So the UK, Argentina still have the initiative, although the Irish have lost theirs (more on this later).



For Argentina, the end is nigh as they are down to their last territory.

Now, we all know that in real life, pillaging Spaniards in the Americas is nothing new, but coming to aid of the English must stick in the craw of most Spaniards.



So are we going to end up with a region swap? Well, not really. First of all, Argentina have been wiped many times before by CoT, so it will come as no surprise that that they more than capable of RW'ing themselves back into life again, but in the meantime, there will be an awful lot of tail-chasing as the UK tries to wipe Ireland as Argentina looks to take over their original territories.

As for Spain, well, they're not Poland, so the extra stretch on their resources should allow Canada a better chance of getting their regions back.

The only clear winner however is Argentina, the propaganda coup of their successful airstrike, combined with the motherland being wiped, allows optimum chances for them to retain their babies.

For Ireland I fear the worst. Joining forces with CUA is perfectly understandable, assisting Argentina in their 'fun' airstrike is perfectly reasonable, but starting a war with the UK before the airstrike is surely foolish. In the long term, Argentina will be gone from the UK, and I can't see the UK being in forgiving mood....
