If Argentina seized the Falkland Islands based solely on its location (400 miles from Argentina’s coast) then the U.S.A. has the right to seize Cuba (90 miles from our coast).
The people of the Falkland Islands are descended from British settlers who established farms on uninhabited islands in the south Atlantic. Those islands have no past ties to Argentina at all. The people there are self-governing and English speaking.
and they now have a sizable group of Royal Marines.......
Just say’n
Perhaps you are too young to remember the Falklands War.
Argentina has claimed the “Malvinas Islands” for many years.
They also claim they are in their territorial jurisdiction.
It was only because of the resolve of Margaret “Iron Lady” Thatcher, the dedication and force of the great British Military, and the backing of President Ronald Reagan that the Falklands are still in the possession of Britain today.
None of those characteristics exist today.
Britain is helping us in Afghanistan and can’t fight another war. And, they don’t have the Blue Water Navy
needed to keep the islands.
Also, the feckless boy-king is a wimpy, effeminate, narcissist, who will let his enemy, Britain, lose the coming war in the “Malvinas”.
Read your history. The Islands passed from the French to the Spaniards and were inherited by Argentina upon independence. There was an Argentine Army garrison on the island when the British seized the islands by force in 1830.
