Argentina just wants to steal their oil, they never owned the Falklands and they never will

Most items used in Argentina were invented by Britain by the way Argentina. Dont go on youtube because you need a computer to do that (which was invented by Britain). And dont turn on your light (British) or your tv (British) or your car (British). And dont invade with tanks (British) or the battleships (british).

This nonsence about the Falklands, it's like saying the faroe islands (which are closer to Britain than Denmark) should be British. Its stupid. The people should decide and they say it should be British (falklands). The UN agree, and the Americans can't talk for it was them that was formed by Britain and took Indian land during the Seminole wars.

If Argentina really feels that bad it should be under joint control, but they have to be diplomatic and sensible to do that.

It is independant. It is self governed. The UK is it's protectorate and 99.8% of them like it that way. The Falklands is only ever brought up when Argentinians start rufus over it. It is never mentioned in conversation otherwise. The Falklanders exist in their own lives, as they should.

I'm not naive to the fact that it's of strategic military importance to the UK. However it never was Argentinian peoples. It was uninhabited. There is no case. It's near? So what?

England want the Malvinas just as a "preventive" militar station, that's why I'm totally against it.

South America must be ruled by south-americans and not monitored by some pretentious politicians.
