Some facts that most of you might you not know:
Argentina argues it inherited sovereignty from Spain after independence, and that it was actively administering the islands (with a governor and settlers) when Britain forcibly removed the Argentine garrison in 1833 and installed its own settlers — an act Argentina considers an illegal seizure of territory it has never accepted. Argentina also points to geographic proximity: the islands sit about 300 miles off the Argentine coast, versus roughly 8,000 miles from Britain.
So invading an occupied territory 8000 miles from your country is fair play?
This happening today would trigger all kind of global outrage and ONU actions.
Speak for yourself, I’ve seen massive outrage about Gaza genocide.
