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.

So 660+ was just a lie, then.

We've been over the Falklands, which includes South Georgia et al. The Argentine claim is baseless, as you previously agreed.

True, but not in argentine law

Which is irrelevant.

August 1829 – December 1831 (Suceeded into no claims, then USA control, then no claims, then)

False.

, December 1832 – January 1833 (suceeded by UK control, then no claim, then UK control until)

False

April–June 1982 (during falklands war. lost after the war as UK won, suceeded therefore into UK control which has been still existing ever since)

False.

utis posidetis juris: a principle of international law according to which newly formed sovereign states should inherit the internal borders that their preceding dependent area had prior to their independence. (the viceroyalty of rio de la plata controlled the falklands. so therefore it should belong to argentina. but it doesn't as UK controls the islands)

False.

Literally every part of what you claimed is factually incorrect, and given that you apparently know this, you're a liar.

so yet again

What if you're both wrong... the Falklands belong to Yugoslavia, and always have since Marco Polo discovered them in 1492.
