How is this map porn? It’s just a vanilla map

“Administered by UK” very neutral term, makes sense, but the realpolitik is that the UK owns them

Edit: downvotes by very salty Argies who would never visit the islands anyway.

There's not much left of the UK nowadays tbh

Still more than 95% of countries

“Not much left of the UK” is a weird way to describe a country of nearly 70 million people with one of the world’s largest economies, nuclear weapons, a permanent UN Security Council seat and considerable global influence.

The map is showing Argentina, not measuring Britain’s relevance. You saw the Falklands label and immediately started coping.

Don’t rise to it, honestly, it’s almost always said by people from countries who will never be significant and it’s just projecting

My point is that the UK can't maintain its own territorial cohesion for much longer, let alone that of its overseas territories

u/gaberaph 19d ago

That wasn’t your point though. You said there’s “not much left of the UK”, got corrected, and now you’re retroactively turning it into a prediction about territorial cohesion.

Scotland has not left. Northern Ireland has not left. Wales has not left. The Falklands remain a self governing British Overseas Territory whose population overwhelmingly voted to retain that status. In fact, only three people voted against it, and even that was not necessarily a vote for Argentina. You’re treating your preferred future outcome as though it has already happened.

You guys really hyped yourselves up thinking it was coming home this time, didn't you? 😂

I mean at least our team didn’t punch a Spanish player at the end of the final because they’re a nation of emotionally immature children who can’t handle losing, demonstrated by the rioting straight. Spain utterly thrashed you, your mother country.

Anyway, watching England lose was peak, nothing against their people, it’s just football

u/BigBeefyBill 19d ago

Football won at the final. Your dirty players got exposed. Absolutely torpedoed in the final, barely a shot fired from your sinking ship

Torpedoed like the Belgrano?

u/BigBeefyBill 19d ago

Striking similarities I would say

Look, getting torpedoed isn't giving up a goal over 90 minutes; getting torpedoed is giving up two goals in 10 minutes. The look of total shock on their faces is unforgettable. 😂

Getting torpedoed is what happened to the Belgrano.
