    The link literally shows Argentina made the claim after the British.

    The island has voted numerous times they prefer to remain part of Britain.

    Twice the Argentine government has declined the UK’s offer to have the matter of sovereignty heard by the International Court of Justice.

    Instead they choose to START a war over it.

    Just stop already. For some reason this topic is a brain worm for Argentinians. You all go batshit over it and lose all reason and perspective.

      Actually they make a claim based on the fact that it used to belong to Spain as well, and they inherited it when they won their independence from Spain.

      The island has voted numerous times they prefer to remain part of Britain.

      And? Russia took over part of Ukraine and those citizens in the captured areas voted to stay with Russia.

      (I’m not saying that’s what happened with the Malvinas, just that voting alone does not make ownship right or wrong.)

      Twice the Argentine government has declined the UK’s offer to have the matter of sovereignty heard by the International Court of Justice.

      Agree with you on this one. Conflict was done for political reasons, and lives were lost.

      However, if one nation held land that another nation believed was there, how long would they wait while they seeked a diplocatic solution, before they tried another route?

      Just stop already. For some reason this topic is a brain worm for Argentinians. You all go batshit over it and lose all reason and perspective.

      Honestly, it seems like British get more triggered when honest debate on this issue happens.

      And you can’t honestly see how a nation would want islands that are 350ish miles away from them, and that they feel belongs to them for centuries, back? Truly?

          But you’re not being honest, mate.

          I’m being absolutely honest about this. I can’t prove a negative, but I’m debating honestly here.

          You’re making up crazy comparisons to Ukraine, which have absolutely no foundation.

          Its not about any particular country (those are just examples). Its about if nation A can have its people on nation B’s land and then claim that land belongs to nation A. That’s all.

              Cosmic’s argument is pretty simple actually. They support Argentinian claims to the Falklands and everything is irrelevant.

              I have watch this arseclown post links that don’t actually support their claim, misrepresented the content of those links and just argue in bad faith because they want to prove their point and not debate the facts.
