Sounds like Brittain is acting like China.
In developing their own resources on their own territory?
The two cases are NOTHING alike. Heck, for example, the then ROC wasn’t even aware the Spratly islands existed before 1933.
China is the one saying that they will take over Taiwan just like Argentina is acting like it will take the Falklands (against the will of the people who happen to live there) .
The Brits claimed the Falklands before the U.S. took California.
The idea the Argentines have a claim to that land, and a ‘right’ to rule those people against their wishes is absurd.
