Falklands/Argentina & countries possessing 'overseas territories' generally:

What would France do if Nova Scotia, Newfoundland or Canada decided that the tiny* Saint-Pierre and Miquelon islands- adjacent to Canada's east coast were not appropriately 'France's overseas territory'- and demanded that France relinquish them to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland or Canada??

(* less than 1/40th the land mass size of the Falklands)

How would this be viewed by France's allies?

How would Nova Scotia's, Newfoundland's and/or Canada's allies view their demanding for-themselves a postage stamp sized piece of territory that for-over-two-centuries has been France's overseas territory?

What if Brazil or Suriname decided that it was innapropriate for (South America's) French Guiana to remain a France overseas territory and demanded French Guiana for themselves- would France just say 'OK' and leave French Guiana and its EU space-industry bases?

COUNTRIES- OTHER THAN THE UK- POSSESSING 'OVERSEAS TERRITORIES' IN THE AMERICAS HAS A CENTURIES LONG- & STILL BEING WRITTEN- HISTORY!!

Observing the current- and 1980's- misbehavior of Argentina from a long ways northwest of the Falklands: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where I've resided for most of the last 42 years...

It seems highly hypocritical and counterproductive to the process of evaluating and forming appropriate opinions regarding the
Argentina-initiated Falklands fracas that developed and developing world countries' politicians, news media and commentators are not raising the fact that there are many, many countries other than the United Kingdom that still possess 'overseas territories'... and, as a general rule, these countries are not faced with demands from countries bordering or near their overseas territories to relinquish these territories...

In the rare situations that such demands have been made during the last 60 years, the usual response, for example from countries like France, has been abrupt 'indignant' dismissal...

What would France do if Nova Scotia, Newfoundland or Canada decided that the tiny* Saint-Pierre and Miquelon islands- adjacent to Canada's east coast were not appropriately 'France's overseas territory'- and demanded that France relinquish them to Nova Scotia, Newfoundland or Canada??

As long as Central and South American countries continue their decades-long policies and practices of open-armed welcome to and cooperation with countries other than the UK that have 'overseas territories' in or near the Central and South American land mass- the UK's claim of rights over and responsibilities for the Falklands can only be hugely strengthened...

UK, British Commonwealth and supporting countries' politicians- as well as UN officials- ought to be raising the examples of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and French Guiana when commenting on and (if ever) deliberating the Falklands and neighboring islands situations....

it certainly does not help when the americans do stupid stunts like stabbing the uk in the back when they should be supporting their best friend ? stupid things like that just inflame the south americams and add fuel to the fire. has not america got enough problems already without insulting the british. it is already being suggested the yanks now longer wish to be friends with us and the special relationship should be withdrawn from britain and given to their new found friends in argentina. they are slowly turning the british people against them. if we are no longer worth standing up for, then i suggest the yanks have the guts to say so. and do the decent thing /withdraw all american bases from british soil.?
ask that all british military personel withdraw from afgan/iraq=
to be replacd by south american troops/ships/planes/ and just drop us . for their new friends.
i know we british are not perfect but we do try. and always stand by our friends. we would never never dream of stabbing the yanks in the back...the relationship between british and american troops and others were sealed with blood. are the south americans willing to do this.
we will never give up the falklands as long as they want us to remain. and the americans should get their backside of the fence and EITHER back the british. or dump them for their new friends. [the point of this ]
is. you never know who your friends are untill you need them.
and you never know where your enemys are comming from untill you turn your back on them . [next]
