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.

Independence is unfeasible and undesirable to the Falkland Islanders. The United Kingdom has stated they won't do anything without the consent of the islanders, and they overwhelmingly reject any changes to there situation being made. They don't independence or secession to Argentinian so the solution is simple, don't change anything.

I like how Argentina's claims are founded on proximity and a failed colony. The British colonized it first, and have had the only permanent settlement for the last 200 years.

We've had more threads about this subject over the years than is even remotely logical.

And all with the same answers. The mods should make some sort of index only about FIs' threads.

There are 99 pages on General alone that mention the FIs in some form or another.

It would make more sense for Argentina to lay claim to Uruguay, but they'd probably fuck that up too.

No. The people there have voted almost unanimously to stay with Britain.
A common argument is that the island is useless to the British, in which case it is equally useless to the Argentinians.

Entertainingly, that 'common argument' has not been used once by any of the 'Malvinas Son Argentinas' proponents in this thread or others.

I now feel somewhat slighted by this. They need to up their game.
