If the locals want to remain British the islands should remain British. End of.

Of obviously not a Mod divining rod. That makes you complicit in the moderator-led conspiracy to keep the opinion of the pro-Malvinas Falklander down. Duh.

You need a good forked yew tree branch to properly ascertain whether someone is a troll or not. All you need to do is send me a cheque for £50 and I'll be able to send you a divining rod that divides the trolls and the knowlessmen from those who are truly speaking their opinion.

thought I had replied to this. Puricelli considers contential argentina to be de facto argentinian territory and argentinia plus falklands to be legally argentinan territory.

So he's willing to allow the continued "invasion" of what he considers "Argentine" territory.
He's either a) a wimp or b) someone who knows pretty well the Argentine claim on the Falklands, South Georgia etc is entirely meaningless.

Is it just me, or would it make more sense to make the locals independant, so they could deal with Argentina at the UN and leave everyone else out of it?

Well, make them independant, and then they can be more British than Britain. Which they are already.

At least my way, Argentina can't cry to the UN, because the Falklanders won't have nuclear submarines.

Argentina, the Brits found the islands first, they claimed them, then later you thought the islands were yours and no one else s, you whined and started a short war, you lost, now your whining again.

The Falklands self govern except for defence and diplomacy. It's pretty close to being independent, and it's what they want.

See, it's the diplomacy that causes all the problems. Like that middle-man at the used-car showroom.

Diplomacy was on the table until an invasion. Trying to conquer people tends to sour their opinion of you.
Basically, the only party with a problem is Argentina. The Kelpers are happy - they have self determination. The UK is happy with it's solid claim of sovereignty, and the will of the people living there.

If people bothered to do their homework.... they would see Britain's claim over the islands is shaky at best however Argentina's is no better. If the Argentinian attempt to regain control of the inslands in 1982 was illegal then the British attempt to re-establish control of the islands in 1833 must also be considered to be illegal. Consider also that the British made no formal claim of the islands until 1765, despite discovering it in 1690, by which time the French has already made a claim.

Thus neither Britain nor Argentina has any claim over the islands in my opinion. Falkland islanders can leave and give the islands back to France who was officially "there first"

France, I believe, relinquished its claim. Thus, the strongest claim is held by the British, the locally supported government.
