Why does Argentina want the Falkland Islands? The only thing you can do there is raise sheep, but the Argentines like beef.

This is stupid for that and many other reasons. Falklands’ only value is symbolic, and a slim value at that. I liked this new President at first glance, including the Elvis sideburns and the jaunty, Trumpish mannerisms. But Trump is no war monger. “In peace, the young bury the old. In war, the old bury the young.” Don’t start your government on the wrong foot, Milei. Jefferson Davis’ presidency started and ended with war, which is to say: badly.

Fishing rights.

They claim all the seas out to 200 miles from every bit of rock they can claim.

The Argentines like lamb too.

It's a national pride thing. It's also a ploy to distract the Argentine people from the mess their economy is in and the politicians who made it so.
