the falklands were actually uninhabited prior to the uk putting people there, on account of it being barren, so it's not actually colonialism

Like the residents of any small island, the Falklanders are molesting their youngest and most vulnerable citizens and so deserve to annexed and brought to justice

The French aren't dumb enough to take the Falklands from the UK. Its like a game of pass the parcel where everyone knows in advance the 'prize' is a massive poo poo.

They know that the claims they're killing people indiscriminately is a lie, because they're the ones supporting the coup attempt.

Got it, no difference at all between a junta rolling tanks in to surround the presidential palace, and a bunch of people taking to the streets to protest social security cuts, and then taking to the streets because people from the prior protest were shot to death.

This is the same thing as tankies supporting Yanukovych because it was a "coup."

All revolutions are coups now. That's some galaxy-brained poo poo.

It's a coup attempt when the opposition uses criminal gangs to set up roadblocks where they kidnap and torture Sandinista supporters, then try to escalate the background level of violence so they can force early elections.

This is some basic bro tankie poo poo. You could get an AI to post these hot takes for you. Yes, if a government isn't directly aligned with the US, protestors against said government are aligned with criminals and deserve what's coming to them. How dare anyone complain in the context of a worker's democracy?

They're partnering to have their nationals returned instead of letting them rot in cages.

Said anchor was also brutally tortured during the dictatorship while pregnant.

... She was also one of the biggest supporters of Dilma’s impeachment.

I'm not saying I'd behave any differently (and obviously they're unarmed and stuff) but its kinda funny watching all the dudes in the military parade break out of formation and run like crazy before state TV cuts (amusingly) to a running horse splash screen that also looks like its fleeing

US doesn't even have to directly fund/support opposition groups.

Any fash or millionaire knows they'll be embraced with open arms regardless if they manage to coup Maduro.
