Is a penguin revolution in the cards in the Falklands?

Milei has been pushing for Argentinian control of the Malvinas. New oil projects are likely a factor. What does that mean for control of the islands w many names?

The Malvinas! The Falklands! The Malvinas! The Falklands!

Argentinian President Javier Milei has been a tear lately over Argentinian ownership of the islands, which have been a source of controversy and contention for decades.

Meanwhile, US President Trump is hinting he may back Milei’s claims, and right-wing Israeli politicians have expressed unconditional support for his bid.

But does all the noise really mean there is any “there”, there?

We speak with longtime pirata and resident Argentina expert, Amy Booth, about the past, the present, and the likely future of the Malivas/Falkland islands.

And we get into the possibility of a penguin revolution upending everyone’s plans!
