Argentina will be pretty empty once they all go back to Spain though.

Irresponsible behavior from Argentina.
With everything that’s going on around the world, you pick now as a good time to square up?
Why?

Well in that case the Argentines are off to Spain where their ancestors came from. They can leave the land to the indigenous peoples their ancestors took it from, unlike the Falklands which were uninhabited when the British arrived.

Those Falklanders had a vote and the vote was 99% Nope.

Isn’t the Argentinian claim to the Falklands that it somehow inherited sovereignty from Spain? That’s like claiming post independence Uganda inherited the right to exercise authority over Egypt from the british empire.

Oh look, a settler colonial country complaining about colonialism on a formerly uninhabited island

It is time to reassess the Falklands and Argentina relationship for sure, and they should be united if you think about it.
Just appoint an Minister for Argentina in the Falklands Government. The Argentina government obviously can’t run a country, so make them a department of the Falklands, and job done.

Typical of argentines to be ignorant enough to think that the UK = England, when the settlers were more Welsh/Scottish than English per capita.
Maybe they should focus their energy on improving their economy, or learning to speak proper Spanish – or indeed actually learn Italian, instead of just cosplaying as Italians like the yanks do.

Dear Argentina,
We can’t keep having this conversation every time your economy is tanking x

Their claim to the Falklands is that they stole our plaque.
They were going to be gifted the islands by us at which point they invaded and we told them gtfo.
Very Trumpian “Oh is that my foot, please shoot it” behaviour.
Be interesting to see what comedy ensues with the Kingly visit.
Competitive_Pen7192 on
It’s all words, even a British military in it’s current form would likely completely trounce any Argentine invasion attempt now with what’s already on the island. If the QE2 carriers got there in time to relieve it then it would be even more lopsided…
TheAllSeeingEyeGuy on
It’s been 215 years since the spanish left the falklands, argentina didn’t even exist then. I can’t understand why anybody still cares about them. There are an overwhelming majority of e̶n̶g̶l̶i̶s̶h̶ british people there and 99% of the people living there want to stay a part of the UK, so I say let them stay, as I don’t see how argentina getting the falklands would even benefit their country.
Plodderic on
If they’d not invaded in the 1980s, they’d probably have been able to win the Falklanders over by now. Falklanders always used to go to Argentina for medical treatment and to access the wider world via flights, shipping etc. However if you take over someone’s home at gunpoint it tends not to endear you to them and it tends to stick in their and their descendants’ minds for a very long time.

There’s plenty of people living in the Falklands who are fifth generation Falklander. They’re not English.

That’s a nasty little racist statement to make in the 21st century. Maybe the indigenous people of Argentina think the same thing about those who descended from European settlers.

Bit rich as they were living there before Argentina existed. As she has a Spanish name, maybe she should go ‚back‘ to Spain first.
Argentina is an colonising power that treated the locals as badly as any other.
Her ancestors wiped out of 80% of the indigenous people in the first 150 years, and then later massacred, enslaved and displaced thousands of Mapuche and others
Then in another land grab the Selk’nam people in Tierra del Fuego were systematically eliminated through land theft and direct killing.
RaidersGunz on
Its Englands territory, nothing to do with the Argies, never has been. When the Brits landed there, there wasnt a single person on the island. Because it was uninhabited prior to European discovery in the 17th century, Argentina has no claim whatsoever.
Theres only two ways I can ever see the islands becoming Argentinian, the first would be the population of the islands voting to do so, that will never happen.
The second would be an invasion by Argentina fully backed (and probably led) by the US which if that happens indicates much bigger problems than just the islands ownership.
Despite what Argentina (and perhaps the majority of the UN) thinks they are British islands and will remain so until their population votes for something else.
go_get_the_guitar on
The Falklands have been British (with no indigenous population displaced or wiped out) for longer than Argentina has existed, I suggest if anyone should be ‚going back‘ then they’re more likely to have Italian, Spanish or German roots. A word of warning though for any of those Germans ‚going home’….the old country has changed a LOT….
AMoonMonkey on
Falklanders only exist because of the British, before that it was just an island covered in bird shit.

And Argentines should go back to Spain and Italy? I mean, most have them have been there for less time than the Falklander’s have.

Even if all the locals did leave there’s no reason for the international community to accept Argentina’s claim over the islands as it’s nowhere near their maritime boundaries. You’d probably get half a dozen countries all suddenly deciding they should be in charge.
