'Do you think for one second if Argentina were to make an attack on the Falklands now we could defend them without America?' Cristo and Tre Lowe discuss whether members of the public are right to side with Donald Trump's position on the Falkland Islands.

@cristo_radio @trelowe How are they going to attack you absolute halfwit? no carrier no cruiser no operational subs 3 principal destroyer/frigates 6 smaller corvettes 4 modern patrol vessels UK: 1500 garrison, 4 Eurofighters, air defence, radar & a nuclear sub in Atlantic. How do they land troops?

@cristo_radio @trelowe The biggest differences between now and 1982 is the Falklands have a garrison. And the Argentinian armed forces numbers are at an all time low.

@cristo_radio @trelowe Here we go again leftie cunts on the panel again Time to turn off

@cristo_radio @trelowe Starmer betrayed Trump with his reticense to support the war on Iranian terror and denying the use of UK military air bases.

@cristo_radio @trelowe It is just regurgitated Argentinian campaign clickbait evry time there is an election looming.

@cristo_radio @trelowe Trump is too unreliable and unpredictable, plus he has a habit of shafting people. Plus he's too cozy with lunatic running Argentina. Argentina couldn't fight it's way out of a paper bag.

@cristo_radio @trelowe He highlights they voted to remain british. How about we give chagos the same vote

@cristo_radio @trelowe Lis would sooner roll out the red carpet for the current Ayatollah than a US president, with the exception of Obama.

@cristo_radio @trelowe We can't afford training exercises,how can we afford to go to war.

@cristo_radio @trelowe Watching GB Breakfast from Canada during the early coverage of the conflict in Iran, I was shocked by the state of your aging navy. You may still have more ships on paper, but at least Canada is building and renewing its fleet at a faster pace now. Therefore, no the UK cannot.

@cristo_radio @trelowe 30 marines were nearly enough the first time

@cristo_radio @trelowe There are missile systems on FI, thousands of soldiers, the only way they are taking them back is if the Labour shitebags give them back.

@cristo_radio @trelowe Love how these lefties are more vocal about Trump attacking Iran, than the Iranian government butchering 1000s of protesters. They don’t want to update their Muslim mates, who would they have then?

@cristo_radio @trelowe Colonistas

@cristo_radio @trelowe Yes Argentina has nothing to attack with

@cristo_radio @trelowe No

@cristo_radio @trelowe Best one for ages!

That clip answers its own question and then pretends the answer is an American problem. Britain did the fighting in ’82 and paid the price. That part is true. What the panel leaves out: after mediation failed, Reagan told Weinberger to give Thatcher what she needed. We moved satellites, fed the intel, filled the tanks at Ascension, and rushed the Sidewinders she later said they could not have won without. That was then. This time the ledger is different. “Could we defend the Falklands without America?” is a British readiness question, not a claim on American blood and treasure. The islands are a British territory. NATO does not cover them. If London cannot keep forces trained, ships at sea, and a credible garrison 8,000 miles away, that is a British problem. You declined to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz when we asked. You still expect automatic political cover the moment Washington says it might not underwrite your claim. That is not how an alliance works. American taxpayers are not a backup plan for a government that just cancelled live-fire training to save pocket change. We have carried a disproportionate share of European security for decades. Allies who will not carry their share should not count on the same blank check. Projecting power that far was hard enough with us quietly in the loop. It gets a lot harder if we are not. The public siding with Trump is not a moral failure. It is pattern recognition. Criticism from British ministers and studios because Washington will not treat Falklands sovereignty as untouchable is not a request for clarity. It is an assumption that our support is owed. It is not. Stop treating Americans like the scum off the bottom of your shoe and show a little gratitude. That is all Trump is asking for. Defend your own ground.

@cristo_radio @trelowe The UK can’t defend the borders, never mind the Falklands.

@cristo_radio @trelowe The US has never defended the Falklands for the UK. Always been neutral. Have at it boys. Get a ship and go down there.

@cristo_radio @trelowe We would have to, we can’t trust America to back us like we back them, remember when they quit Afghanistan,they went without informing us they were going.

@cristo_radio @trelowe If we hadn’t pissed about for 30 years procrastinating over pumping out the oil from the billion barrel Sealion discovery, we wouldn’t have the USA sniffing round.

@cristo_radio @trelowe These colonizers need to leave the western hemisphere. Centuries of war in Europe aren’t enough for these warmongering supporters of a failing monarchy. Get us out of NATO🇺🇸

@cristo_radio @trelowe The americans are installing the Munro doctrine and unfortunately the Iran war was a test and the UK gov failed ... any oil found on the west side line drawn through the atlantic will be contested by the US ... look at the America's almost all now have have right wing govs ...

@cristo_radio @trelowe Thatcher send a flotilla of our armed forces as it stands we couldn’t take back the Isle of Man .

@cristo_radio @trelowe We have plenty of rubber BOATS BUT nothing else works!

@cristo_radio @trelowe Yes I do, absolutely

@cristo_radio @trelowe The fact agree with Jonathan liss on the falklands makes me feel very uneasy 🥴
