    Even if your bullshit wasn’t bullshit, theres another huge difference you are ignoring - the US is capable of doing something about it, Argentina is not.

      Well, they did try, and failed, but it was costly for both sides, so it wasn’t a hard one-sided affair.

      Besides, that’s not the point I’m trying to make, and not relevant to this discussion. The point of legal ownership by “first rights”, and not “might makes right”, is what I’m speaking towards.

        Cool, so since Britain has held the islands longer than Argentina has existed you consider the matter settled?

          No. Think Argentina has the strongest claim based on previous ownership from Spain, and being the nearest nation to the islands.

            But the first settlement there was french, so you’re wrong.

              They left though, and then Spain was there.
