The Argentina players celebrated their World Cup win over England with a banner saying ‘Las Malvinas son Argentinas’, making reference to the 1982 Falklands war
Also just because europeans settled it doesnt mean their mainland own the marine resources around it and get to setup a military base, hope that helps.
But it gives Argentina the right to occupy it, because of “geographical proximity”? That’s the dumbest argument in international law, ever. Might as well justify the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, or the attempted coup of the US in Cuba.
The UK settled a population and then claims resources around the island and has established a military base there to carry out western imperialist ambitions based on consensus from that settled population.
I just hate britain so much I want them out of there. They may very well take the settled population with them as they are british and would better be suited in the birtish climate not south american climate.
You’ve not given a single reason why Argentinians have more of a claim to the Falklands than the British. Ultimately they’re Spanish settlers so shouldn’t they fuck off back to Spain according to your logic?
because all argentinians live in mainland argentina, they do not have a govt one the other side of globe controlling how their resources are used. Proximity is enough for argentine claims.
Neither does the Israeli government, but you seem to consider them settlers anyway (and they are). If proximity was ever sufficient for claims, we might as well seriously entertain US claims to Greenland.
If proximity is your entire argument, it’s fucking weak.
My argument is way more than proximity (and greenland is close to canada not USA) I dont care about greenland because regardless of denmark or USA, it will function as a western imperialist base.
Right, someone was born there. Your point?
By the way, her father was French.

Cubans belong to that land and perhaps live there way before terrorist states of america were found. So no wrong analogy
And fuck international law, who cares what the fuck settlers think. I dont
I’m willing to bet money on the fact that you yourself are a settler in one way or another.
I am not
Right, why would you admit it?
Right
Argentina is a settler nation lmao. So yeah who cares what they think. There’s no legitimate Argentinian claim to the islands.
Israel displaced an existing population. The UK on the Falklands did not. Completely different story.
The UK settled a population and then claims resources around the island and has established a military base there to carry out western imperialist ambitions based on consensus from that settled population.
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

What else is it then? Since you haven’t mentioned any other argument as far as I can tell.
