@cheltcanary You shouldn`t be proud of nearly loosing a war against a country with no foreign support and old weapons. Uk needed and used help from usa , chile and otan. You have paid foreign soldiers also. I wonder if any original soldier born in the uk fought that war anyway ! We are proud of our troops. How couldn`t we feel that way, if we fought a war against a superior military army and it`s partners ? Without all that help, uk would have never fought. We do love our country and always will
@EddieExile I guess they are British then ? It`s a joke that someone could believe that owns territory which is 14.000 km`s away from homeland. You stole them, but they will be ours again. It`s just a matter of time. Hopefully without bloodshed if the thieves admitt they had nothing to claim so far away from their island.
@111jasy111 maybe they are english descendants, but they have been there 9 generations, longer than argentina has existed as a country! Anyway, argentinians descended from spain, so whats the difference? If falklanders should "go back to britain" then shouldnt argentinians "go back to spain?"
@111jasy111 - The British were in the Falklands in 1690. Its documented! The spanish eventually settled and co-exisited with French and British settlements. Eventually ALL left, only for Britain to return.... anyway, you have your version of history so I dont expoect you to agree - but you cant deny that Argentina didnt even exist when British people were living in the islands! Anyway its all hypothetical. Fact is, we are there now and nothing argentina can do can take them away.
@cheltcanary We inherited the islands from Spain. There was no proof of British sovereignty when we established there. You had left half a century ago!

The British Falklands were never Spanish or argentine.
Meanwhile the British Falklands remain British for as long as they wish ie forever.
