Should the U.K. give the Falklands to Argentina?

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

But that interior finish is so ghastly.

That's military efficiency for you. It is all very ergonomic and userfriendly, now get into the cockpit!

But there isn't any sense of style here, Hurde. I mean, sure, they're efficient, but look like bag ladies!

We went from the usual tired old Falklands theme to mecha combat. Amazing how these threads tend to evolve.

Mechas are inefficient. When you need more power, just build bigger tanks with bigger guns.
Treads > legs. QED

Now that reminds me of a thread that went on for a certain amount of pages earlier this year. NationStates General tends to recycle themes ad infinitum, if only because it is so much easier.

What I'm hearing is turn the islands into a giant sheep-powered mecha.

Some threads are in a holding pattern half the time, so it makes sense.

[Ithalian Empire]

I have a radical, never before though of idea.


Why don't we give Argentina to the Falklands? Boom, problem solved, the Falklands gets to remain a British possession and the Argentinians get to have there islands.

You're the seventh person or so to post this idea.
It is however still great. Everybody gets what they want. I do not understand why people keep ignoring it.

Must still be crying over the football match.

Damn, and here I thought my comment had some actual wit.

The Falklanders have made their will clear more than once, and Argentina should respect it.

This reminds me of the situation in Gibraltar in 2002. Britain stated it was willing to share sovereignty of Gibraltar with Spain and said that the decision lay with the Gibraltarians, whereupon they held a referendum and overwhelmingly rejected the proposal. Something similar would probably happen should Britain for some reason ever consider sharing or even transferring sovereignty over the Falklands to Argentina. The Falklands would hold (yet another) referendum and reject any form of Argentinian rule and the status quo would be preserved. But really, allowing even the slightest Argentinian involvement in the islands - especially without a referendum - would amount to a farcical political suicide for the British government, considering that the Falklanders prefer to stay with Britain and the memory of the war is still pretty fresh.

But the natives remain, under British protection. It is the Argentina’s who endangered the natives with their reckless and criminal use of land mines during an illegal war!

What natives?

it is argentinean land after all, the distance to the country of argentinea and buenos aire is 1000x closer than to britian and london.!!

Friendly reminder that many areas in the south and west of Germany are closer to other capitals than Berlin.

Also, if London was 1000x farther from Stanley than Buenos Aires, either the Falklands would have to be in Argentina itself, or London would have to be in space.

I'm sorry mate, but you are talking complete shite. You are starting to sound like a broken record, constantly playing the "it is closer so it must belong to them!" tune. Your logic fails miserably. Proximity by itself doesn't say anything about ownership. If it did, then The Channel Islands would belong to France, and Alaska would belong to Canada.

Are you ever actually going to provide sources for your claims or not?

FALSE! The penguins are still there.

it is argentinean land after all,

FALSE! The Argentines never owned it to begin with, and STILL managed to lose it.

the distance to the country of argentinea and buenos aire is 1000x closer than to britian and london.!!

STUPID AND IRRELEVANT! Stop acting as if that line is some kind of mystical victory condition. It is not, and you should feel bad for repeating it.

(wanted to test whether using a similar speech pattern might actually get them to listen)

And there are parts of Argentina that are closer to Santiago than they are to Buenos Aires, so must be ceded to Chile immediately under this logic.

It's settled. Argentina belongs to Chile.

Does this mean that I, in fact, own my neighbor's backyard and not the landlord? After all, I'm much closer to it than she is.

[Alawites]

Patagonia was once an independent nation. Maybe it should secede from Argentina?

And GD-R is doing some serious projection here. Know who actually forcibly removed islanders? The Spanish ancestors of the Argentines. He is literally accusing the Brits of the very thing Argentina has done!

[The Greater Low Countries]

Give the islands independence with strong trade relations with Argentina and the UK. Make it a Commonwealth nation. Give all islanders Argentinian and British citizenship.
I'm no diplomat, but I think that could work.

Also Grossdeutsches-Reich I appreciate your infatuation with Fuhrerreich. Don't have HOI4 but I just watch Conquering History Games play it. Would love to actually play it sometime.
