Native Americans can now review the US Governments claim on their land as well, I'd guess.
No they can't because they lack the strength. There are no reasoned arguments or claims in play here beyond "the strong do what they want".
He's not involved in either side of that war. Nor would either side invite his help. And we dont have the military strength to open yet another front. We cant even keep our soldiers fed in the gulf. His review one way or another is pathetic and stupid.
Trump can get effed. Starts a war, doesn’t consult allies ahead of time. Whines and bullies allies to help him clean up the mess he started unilaterally (with Satanyahu). Continues to bully former allies into fighting his adventurist war for him. When will wankees comprehend actions have consequences. Oh right - never.
The less powerful and relevant the US become the more they will act like they are rulers of the world.
So what if Trump reconsiders this? Apart from Argentina who else will support him.
NOW is the time for the planet to get rid of reliance upon the US. Not screw them over, just stop being their removed.
Part of the reason he's doing it is to try to save Milei's incompetent ass.
I'm reviewing the US's claim to Hawaii
Also don't mess with the Falklands they are all British Citizens and the last time Thatcher had to be genuinely talked down from using Nukes.
Brezhnev took Afghanistan
Begin took Beirut
Galtieri took the union jack
and Maggie over lunch one day
took a cruiser with all hands
apparently to make him give it back
Thatcher had to be genuinely talked down from using Nukes
There are only two source I could find for any such claims. One is an interview with Michael Quinlan, former Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Defence, who claims that after the war ended Thatcher suggested to him that she would have considered using nuclear weapons if the war went badly enough. The other is this book by Mitterrands psychiatrist written ~20 years after the conflict. I only really think the interview is a credible source, and it sure doesn't sound like they genuinely had to talk her out of using nukes at any point.

They definitely had them on hand and she went full vengeance mode after an exocet hit a British ship, although the Vulcan may have been the first choice.
It was the French who talked her down I believe.
And then when the UK doesn't feel eternal gratitude the next time the US needs help, Trump will again be surprised.
The US foreign policy/diplomacy seems to be a kakistocracy. If you literally picked a random person out of the phone book to be President, then it would with great probability be better than Trump.
Then the UK should push ahead with the Chagos deal. 2 can play at that game.
The US has no business interfering in the Chagos Islands either. They just want to use Diego Garcia whenever they want while someone else maintains it.
There are a lot of places where the US is, but shouldn’t be.
Not is the time to push them out.
Announce it and wait for Taco Tuesday.
True, but Dumbass trump can do a lot of damage between now and Tuesday.
Declare War
Empire of Britannia vs. Argentine Republic
No Casus Belli to choose from....
The British public might now side with Prince Harry who criticized Trump during his present visit to Ukraine. In contrast, King Charles is visiting Trump on Monday. I'm sure King Charles will cozy up to Trump.
I’m sure King Charles will cozy up to Trump.
Trump is super easy to manipulate. Sending Charles to get free brown nose points, at no real cost to the UK, is the right thing to do.
Charles is also retarded (it's ok we can use that word now) and keeps pushing for the NHS to do homeopathy.
A true meeting of geniuses, hopefully RFK's brainworms aren't hungry that week.
Maybe Charles can offer him a knighthood. It would be pure comedy watching trump kneel and offer fealty to Charles. Trump would 100% do it too.
No, it won't work. Starmer threw a state banquet for Trump in order in get him to lower tariffs. It didn't do anything.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
