In recent months, the Americans, French, Germans, and Israelis - our so-called “allies” - have either cast doubt on our sovereignty over the Falkland Islands or moved towards supplying weapons to Argentina, a country that continues to claim British territory as its own. President Trump has openly discussed reviewing America's position on the Falklands. French and German defence firms have offered Argentina new submarines, while Israel has already signed an agreement to supply its armed forces with weapons. What is our government doing in response? Nothing. We may not be the global superpower we once were, but we still have tremendous leverage over all of these countries and we should not be afraid of using it. And I don’t mean sending strongly-worded letters or summoning ambassadors. The government has already negotiated surrender deals over Chagos and Gibraltar. If we continue to allow our territorial integrity to be questioned without consequence, we will lose all of our overseas territories and be left even more globally irrelevant than we already are.
