Rusia podría atacar bases británicas alrededor del mundo, incluidas las Islas Malvinas
La advertencia implica que pueden ser objetivos militares dentro y fuera de las fronteras del Reino Unido; como los existentes en Malvinas, Gibraltar y África, entre otras.
Well..
is there any other source for the claims? I couldn't find any. The two sources from the tweet are the same, that is one cites the other. And none of them say where she said it, all they say is that she said it on Thursday 5/23.. but I couldn't find anything about it in English, nor in her telegram channel in Russian, which is where she would usually make such statements, so it sounds false.
But, also, it would also be a terrible idea for Russia and incredibly out of character.

Here is about 1 hour of analysis about it, I don't know if it mentions other sources. I found it quickly searching.

I heard the report on several outlets, just forgot where. But if NATO troops us NATO weapons inside Ukraine to attack targets in mother Russia, and Russia knows that much of the weaponry it mentioned HAS to be manned by NATO troops, then it is on the table to strike US military targets. Putin cannot just sit there and take it over and over and over, and that is the point he is probably trying to make to try to stop the escalation. I would not be shocked if this were like his other "red lines" - complete BS. But as some point they might not be BS.
In the video Bluegazer posted, the source mentioned in a Greek news outlet: NEWS 24/7 | Ειδήσεις, Νέα Από Την Ελλάδα και τον Κόσμο
He says sometimes they are trustworthy, and add details before other media do, but that it is still not confirmed. I didn't watch the whole thing, but it was pretty interesting. It sounds like one more instance where it is made "all about Argentina", whereas if something was actually said, it might have been a general statement, basically that if the UK meddles too much, Russia will target some of their military infrastructure. It's not the first time they say something like that, so it could be true. But again, it's not really about Argentina per se. To claim that Russia may "reclaim the Malvinas/Falkland for Argentina" is quite a stretch. As if they didn't have any bigger worries...
yeah, no source anywhere.
I think, based on what I saw on the comments on the video, they're very very happy to humor the notion that Russia would return Malvinas to Argentina, which sounds more like wishful thinking than anything and maybe that's why this thing caught on fire.
I do not think that Zajarova would not say something like "if you attack russia, then russia will consider you a target and has a right to respond" they say that all the time, but to then take that and turn it into "Russia has plans to attack Malvinas and return it to Argentina" is an entirely different story.
But I could be wrong. For now, it seems like something, if there was anything, was taken out of context.

I think the original context I heard was just bombing the base and people made the assumption of what Argentina would do then to take it back themselves with the base destroyed. I think Milei has his nose so far up NATO's ass right now, he would not do anything to piss off the Brits.
And since there's so much discontent in Argentina right now, then anything that may hint at delegitimizing Milei is welcome with desire.
Well, all I could find was a Reuters piece saying:
This warning was indeed posted on the 8th of May in her Telegram channel saying:
But from this to extrapolate that the Falklands/Malvinas will then be attacked and returned to Argentina, sounds a like a stretch. Besides, why would Russia attack those little islands that possess no strategic value?
This warning was indeed posted on the 8th of May in her Telegram channel saying:
[...]
The actions of the British authorities, who are literally choking in Russophobia, fully confirm the bias and hostility of the British line on the Russian direction.
️ We have repeatedly warned London that any unfriendly actions will receive an inevitable proportionate response. Our response will be tough and calibrated.
But from this to extrapolate that the Falklands/Malvinas will then be attacked and returned to Argentina, sounds a like a stretch. Besides, why would Russia attack those little islands that possess no strategic value?
They'd literally have to fly over all their other enemies to bomb a tiny town.
While it is true that there is a desire to recover the islands for the Argentines, to say that they have no strategic value is not entirely true.
We have to think that they are not the islands per se. It is the proximity to Antarctica, its resources and what lies beneath the white continent, and trade routes...
In addition to the Malvinas Islands there are other UK bases in the South Atlantic:

They would use one of their subs, probably demonstrating they can hit a target without warning - implying they could do the same with nukes off the mainland. I think if they did anything it would be symbolic to "send a message" and nothing strategic. Why else specifically mention bases overseas instead of just taking out something on the British mainland. You start making strategic strikes and things can escalate more rapidly. Part of the point is, UK is less likely to escalate if in the Falklands/Malvinas or Gilbralter (two cities I heard mentioned) than something important. Like I said though, I will believe it when I see it. I still remember all the threats Putin was making after the elections in the Donbass - NOW these are part of Mother Russia - better not attack them! Y A W N !!! But at some point he could follow through on his threats as he did on February 2022.
More interesting than the Falklands/Malvinas, is Antarctica.
It happens that a Russian research vessel recently discovered massive amounts of oil and gas just underneath the continent's floor. And as expected, the West is worried that Russia may be interested in exploiting these reserves, as the country is considered a "bad actor" because of Ukraine. Of course, there are treaties and accords around Antarctica that protect it, and its territories are divided between the UK, Chile, Norway, France and Australia, and it seems that such action by Russia or China seems far fetched, but generating negative headlines hitting them is never a waste for the West.

Even more than the oil and gas. The US has a weapons base in Antarctica for directed energy weapons located about where the neutrino facility is - that facility is apparently dual use. Years ago a whistleblower who worked at the facility actually had a press conference to talk about what was really going on there. If there is a world war, that makes it a military target, although probably would not be worth a land invasion, just blow it up from the sky.
Also if you have seen the Linda Moulton Howe interview with the two former military (Spartan 1 and Spartan 2 as they were anonymous, but they are naive if they think they could hide themselves from the powers that be....), there are ancient structures there others might be interested in.
The other interesting thing about the Falklands / Malvinas is apparently it is a key location for the "black goo" substance. Apparently its discovery there happened at about the same time as the war in the 1980s, and that is probably not a coincidence. The biggest deposit of it is is actually here in Paraguay from a meteor site in the very north of the country where the Bush's bought their big piece of land. A friend of the researcher in the video I am about to post the link to actually traveled down here to get a sample. He shows some lab behavior of the stuff as well as discusses the history including the links to the Malvinas if anyone is interested. Just have to skip through the beginning where he is talking more on chemtrail research he has done.
