    Yeah, that’s not how something like that works. If they hadn’t responded with force, other nations would have started looking at their other overseas territories, wondering if they’d bother to defend them or not.

    Besides, the same question could be asked of Argentina, if they’re so worthless, why take them?

      I never said the Brits should have taken the seizure laying down? I just said it was over something that was pretty worthless in and of itself, hence the meme being of a possum defending literal trash.

        Yes, but it’s their trash

        Besides, from what I’ve heard, the Falklands are quite nice.
