    So Alaska should belong to Canada

    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
