Man the Falklands is such a complicated thing in its own. In the early 80’s, you would have had to choose between Pinochet/Thatcher(Pinochet sided with the Brits) versus the Argentine military dictatorship. NI is as I said much more than Catholic and Protestant. I feel a connection to NI, a lot of my Irish family are from there.

And you know it’s quite telling when all sides in that conflict were right-wing (the Argentine dictatorship were notorious for claiming to be the “defenders of Western/Christian civilization from 1976-1983).

Even if Pinochet sided with the British, I will always hate him. Won’t change that about it.

The Falklands is complicated, no doubt about it. But the majority of the Falklanders prefer to be with the British over the Argentines. And who can blame them? They enjoy high living standards compared to the average Argentine, they get to drive on the left side of the road, and they get to drive around in 4WD vehicles such as Land Rover Defenders or Land Cruiser diesels that wouldn’t be able to in the motherland.
