Does Argentina have a legitimate claim to the Malvinas
Does it feck!
Ignore the conchies on here.
It's open for fair debate.
Only with the bedwetters who hate this country. It's ours, they tried to take it, they got their arr$e$ kicked. Very simple.
Thankfully Andy was down there with his chopper.
In terms of occupation, the islands were discovered by an English ship.
Having been down south in ‘82 I think the important bit here is what do the islanders want. Without taking a survey (but based on the results of previous surveys) in my opinion they want to be left alone and consider themselves a British protectorate. They don't want to be ruled by Argentina, end of.
Was it within hours? and several aircraft were involved, Victor tankers for instanceI think today invasions are just far less likely. In 1982 they didn't expect us to retaliate within hours in a Vulcan, they won't be so brazen again.
All it takes though is one crazy leader to decide to reclaim it.
How do you feel about former Yugoslav & Soviet states?Yeah. I am a believer in maintaining and respecting all existing borders.
