    So Alaska should belong to Canada? What about cuba and the entire Caribbean? They belong to Mexico? Japan should belong to China as should Taiwan? And Israel should take Palestine? Is that what you’re saying?

    That’s a slippery slope there watch your step.

      I would like to but I dont care since those people living there arent settlers in the sense of falklanders

      What about cuba and the entire Caribbean

      Again false equivalence

      Japan should belong to China as should Taiwan

      What are you even saying?

      And Israel should take Palestine

      Thats what you believe when you say falklands belong to UK

      Slippery slope is liberal hypocrisy and liberal support to colonialism

      Edit: Here they are extracting billions of worth of oil from the offshores of falklands in joint venture with israelis. These resources belong to south americans not britishers, its that simple. https://buenosairesherald.com/world/international-relations/argentina-warns-it-will-take-action-over-illegal-offshore-oil-drilling-project-in-malvinas-islands

        Something being in the proximity of another doesn’t make them have ownership. That’s silly.

          Not more than allowing former colonial empire to establish control over resources around it and establish military outpost on the basis of consensus from settled populace.

            I’d feel more bad if it wasn’t Argentina tbh

              I hate Britain just so much (you could guess the reason) that I want them out of there

                I think the island was established before even Argentina it’s own country
