The idea of the US not supporting British sovereignty over the Falkland Islands does not add much to the issue itself, but rather it speaks badly about how the ‘special relationship’ is being handled and what Washington is willing to put in the negotiating table when asking for more UK support towards American geopolitical ambitions,” he said. “There is no active military threat from Argentina nor is there an adversarial position from the UK towards Buenos Aires from their military personnel stationed in the Falkland Islands. The Argentine claim will be perpetual and shouldn’t surprise the British public opinion every time someone puts it on the table. Both countries, though have taken measures to improve their bilateral matters such as in trade, science, industry, and education, despite their totally unshakable positions to the sovereignty question."
