Maybe because he is a British sympathiser attempting to conceal the fact we already control India.

Because it's patently ridiculous :p
Britain isn't the same country as it used to be.
We've given up all that christian crusading missionary mallarchy. And the white mans burden.
Now we're obsessed with capitalism or social justice, depending on your temperament. Even our revisionism of the empire takes that into account.
We don't get all broo-ha-ha about invading places and killing people. Makes us uncomfortable.
We wistfully talk about banning slavery, and expanding democracy, creating trade and business, and such.

And we can do all that stuff without the red coats.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

The Antarctic is claimed by the British and defintely is a resource rich region and my argument is that they should not have the god damn thing


Seriously mate, stop being so anti-British. I understand you dislike us because of our ancestors' colonialism - fine, whatever. But be more civil.

Anyway, while Antarctica would be nice, we do not claim all of it. Many nations have claims, few of which are recognised. I guess it will eventually be made an 'international park', with various nations secretly exploiting the resources there as the Antarctic ice sheet recedes.

Found it.

Ostroeuropa wrote:Soon we'll be in a situation where the Falklands Navy blockades "The damned continentals" and actively attempts to stop continental unity in south america out of fear for being invaded again. (Obviously the Argentinians will realize they have no chance of invading the islands without utilizing the entirety of the continents resources.)
The Falklanders will ally intermittently with various S.A nations to prevent this.
And then the race begins to take over more and more countries, which the Falklanders will naturally win due to their naval supremacy.
They will pride themselves on having an empire which covers every continent and brought us technological marvels beyond our comprehension, and spread their language and culture all over. (Penguins.) Other empires rise and fall, but the falkland empire they say, will never have the sun set on it.
Inevitably however, even the falkland empire will collapse over time as people forget why exactly we're all pointing the guns at eachother.

And then the Argentinians will still keep claiming the falklands.
