We played the same game as everyone else. You can't pin all the blame on us just because we were the best players.

No, that's how you play. You go up against the retired imperialism world champion with your own new imperialism strategy, and then when you can't imperialism him you scream in rage and slap the board aside, then roll around on the floor crying until someone with no idea as to the background takes pity on you out of some misguided sense of justice.

I'm wading through page after page, and most of the Argentinean Arguemnts I'm seeing have the word Anglo-Saxon bias in them.

Nah, but you continue controlling land around the world that you shouldn't. Chagos Islands, Malvinas, Gibraltar.. Hell, until recently, Hong Kong.
