Falklands or Malvinas? (And Anglo-Saxon Bias)

[Risottia]

Next up, Crimea is Argentinian.

Funny, last time I checked the nation that went around the world taking over land that doesn't want them as rulers was.. Britain!

Pretty sure Argentina doesn't have exactly a clean record when it comes to taking over land that doesn't want them.

If Afri.....Argentina wants the Falklands so much, why dont she try to get them back?

I HATE ARGENTINA LETS NUKE EM!!!!!!

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[Infected Mushroom]

Argentina's sending its government agents to rig the poll...

Don't they have something better to do with the public dime?

Eh.

Russia and China do the same thing tbh.

I see...

[Polar Svalbard]

Come on OP, you have to resort to changing the poll to get your way. That's sad.

[Vassenor]

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

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

Remember kids, imperialism is bad unless it's Argentina doing it.

All places that, it is fair to note, are either barely inhabited, or inhabited by folks who quite like being British.

MALVINAS SON ARGENTINA , LA MUERTE DE BRETAÑA

[Gristol-Serkonos]

That doesn't even make sense.

Kirchner, is that you?

Sure, because Kirchner would say that.

TIL OP is Kirchner.

Shocking.

This comment is laughable.

[Carriebean7]

my logic is that it's closer to Argentina , and therefore, it should be Argentinean!

Hence, Argentina should be Uruguayan, which in turn should be Brazilian, which in turn should be a region of French Guyana, which is part of France, which is closer to Britain, hence by your logic, it should be British.

no, the united kingdom need to dissolve and resolve into the United English States of Britain, sri Lanka needs to be Indian, Mongolia needs to be split by china and Russia, Canada and mexico needs to join the US and Hawaii should be independent.

Sadly, it is how most arguments in Argentina's favor sound.

You have rather strange views. There is no logic in your statement.

Argentina's invasion in 1982 can be considered an attempt at imperialism.

[Imperializt Russia]

ARGENTINA GO HOME TO YOUR MOTHERLAND WHILE YOU STILL HAVE ONE !!!!!!!!! TIME TO GO HOME YOU UNWANTED BRUTES!!!!

Dude, stop. You're not helping the debate in anyway

There's a debate?

Please stop assuming that everyone in a given geographic region shares your opinion.

[Hurdegaryp]

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.

Well, the fascist aggressor routine didn't work, even though the Argentinian stormtroopers initially did occupy the Falklands. Since all those Latin American macho soldiers surrendered to British Gurkhas in the end, this was not exactly a proud moment for Argentina. It did result in the eventual collapse of the junta, so that's a positive thing. Now that the WE TAKE WHAT WE WANT tactic was thorougly proven wrong, Argentinian populists and their sympathizers now try the incessant whining routine. It's going to be as fruitful as the more belligerent attempt to steal the Falklands, but at least less people are going to get killed.

Scotland hated it so much that it voted to remain in the Union and Ireland...is out. Holy shit, it's like those who want to be out are getting out.

The part of Ireland that remains British voted to do so, as did Scotland (the latter far more recently).

Rather, an attempt to restore order to rightful Argentine land.
