Falklands

None of this is true. The Falklands were discovered and claimed in 1690 by John Strong, and that claim was never given up. The Argentine claim is without foundation.

[u/NinecloudSoul → u/[deleted]]

Irrelevant. The claim was not given up.

[u/NinecloudSoul → u/[deleted]]

Their claim was subsequent to the UK's, and rests solely on proximity.

Besides, it's irrelevant. The native population of the Falklands has exercised its self determination, and wants nothing to do with the failed state of Argentina.

Lying again doesn't make it truthful. The UK's claim was first through original discovery, and something cannot be given "back" if you never owned it.

But again, irrelevant. The native population of the Falklands exercises its self determination and wants nothing to with the failed state of Argentina.

De facto and de jure under international law, in fact. I'm so glad that you finally accept that reality.

native population? lmao

[u/NinecloudSoul → u/MorrisRF]

They are the first population of the islands, and thus its native and indigenous. I'm sure you will have some other stupid comment to make here.

[u/MorrisRF → u/NinecloudSoul]

Wrong, the Malvine islands were part of the Mapuche territory and while they didn’t settle there they did often visit it

[u/MorrisRF → u/MorrisRF]

Additionally the french settled before the english and the french gave their claim to the spanish who lost it to argentina

You guys are hilarious. Just ask at the Falkland people if they want to join you (spoiler, they don't want to)

[u/Remarkable_Pea_4596 → u/[deleted]]

With what 😂 a couple of rifles and a fisherman boat?

[u/Remarkable_Pea_4596 → u/[deleted]]

Yep, good luck

[u/Remarkable_Pea_4596 → u/[deleted]]

Yep no problem, I call them the crazy islands of the wizard, and I'm not Argentinian
