The Falklands finds itself once again at the centre of tensions between the Argentinian government and London.
“Argentina no discutirá internamente sus posiciones en el marco de una política exterior, simplemente se hará lo que Trump decida”, afirmó un diplomático de carrera a punto de retirarse, sorprendido por tanta “pleitesía y adulación, jamás vista”, según señaló luego de recordar que votar en contra del documento del G20 en Sudáfrica, sin siquiera discutirlo, no registraba antecedentes.
The longstanding dispute over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic between Britain and Argentina is once again in the news; this time as a result of the recent findings of a UN commission that has adjudicated that Argentina’s existing maritime territory in the South Atlantic be expanded by 35%, thus bringing the Falklands within Argentine territorial waters.
Faced with mounting international pressure over the Falkland Islands territorial dispute, the British government enlisted its spy service, including a highly secretive unit known for using “dirty tricks,” to covertly launch offensive cyberoperations to prevent Argentina from taking the islands.
