The Antilles were created when we did slavery from our West African Colonies, very successfully, a black page in our history.
I note your facility with a pun. FYI, the first African slaves arrived in Virginia in 1619, provided by a
Dutch trader. (FWIW, decades earlier in St Augustine, the Spanish colony there had both free and enslaved blacks in the community)
First they were governed from Suriname. We would honor the Antilles independence as soon they want to. They love to bash the Netherlands but sofar hold-off from independency.
Sounds like Puerto Rico vis a vis the US of A.
Some choice quotes from the Brits:
We didn't start the last Falklands war, we just finished it.
Preventing the next one will be less costly to both nations.
Similarly we're not threatening to start another one, just cautioning that they really wouldn't be wise to start another one, for the same reason.
For both nations, no war will be a beneficial state of affairs. Argentina can hardly afford a war.
keejse: have to correct you Biggus. The UK send Vanguard-class to Falklands. They are build to carry Tridents.
Talking out one's backside does not make for being credible. Sufficient detailed rebuttal of that bit hogwash has already been presented.
