Contemporary Falkland Islanders consider themselves to be British. They gained full British citizenship with the British Nationality (Falkland Islands) Act 1983, after the Falklands War.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falkland_I ... nstitution
All peoples have the right to self-determination and by virtue of that right they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development and may, for their own ends, freely dispose of their natural wealth and resources without prejudice to any obligations arising out of international economic co-operation, based upon the principle of mutual benefit and international law; The realisation of the right of self-determination must be promoted and respected in conformity with the provisions of the Charter of the United Nations.

exactly the only way we are going to have to give them back is if the UN says we have to give them back.

Not because they can force us but because the alternative is ending up with a similar international reputation as Israel. its not a price the British will bear.


Britain will never give up their territory. They have fought 1 war for it and will not give up land it fought so hard to keep. Even then Britain is too proud to give it up and I don't blame them.

Argentina is only trying to spread its own borders and intrench it's own corrupt government in. It's economy is in shattered pieces and there military way to outdated to really fight back. Britain is a world power with a stable economy.

Even if the UK was militarizing the Falklands it's not really a problem. The UK is an actual responsible nation that doesn't fight un-necisary wars. If anything they are setting up more defenses to protect against Argentina. Argentina has already attacked once so it's good sense to prepare. Then Again Argentina is like the Iran of South America, making constant warnings and showing off it's military thinking it's a just force.

Arturo Puricelli accused Britain of trying to provoke Argentina into turning a diplomatic conflict into an armed conflict.

He said that Argentina will "put up with" British armed forces in the Falklands.

"But if they reach our continental territory we will exercise our legitimate right of defence and we have the resources and the skills to do so," he warned.

They're basically just flamebaiting the UK right now.

Flamebaiting is, unfortunately, this government's policy. It's like they're trolling on purpose, not only to outside, but to our own society as well.

And it's attitudes like that what ultimately causes people to issue comments towards Argentina like happened in this thread. The problem is, again, that most of us don't understand it. I do, and that's why I feel sorry. I should probably stay away from this thread. :p

So what, Argentina is accepting Britain putting military units into its own territory, but won't accept Britain putting military units in their territory?

The most sadness true is that Cristina Kirchner is too far of an good leader like Conrad Adenauer like example of somebody needed to be leader of my Nation with the necesary capacity to rebuild Argentina and their deffensive capacity after the falling since the Malvinas War.

It was at this point I realised that you don't have a valid argument beyond parroting thinly-veiled racist remarks towards 'Latin' people who don't support you and generally talking out of your derrière.
