Falkland's or Malvina's
The recent discovery of perhaps as much as 500 million barrels of oil deposits in the region is certainly going to escalate the already tense situation over the Islands. I seriously doubt that Argentina will just let the oil profits sail past their noses back to Great Britain.
The Malvinas are 300 miles of the coast of Argentina, the Falklands are 8000 miles of the coast of Britain. In this day and age what is a British colony still doing in South American Waters?

Using your logic Canada should invade St. Pierre & Miquelon - afterall they are right next to Canada and far away from France.

The aim is to dissuade British political personalities from attending the vote as observers, therefore detracting from its legitimacy.

In this day and age Argentina should know better than to push forward such and "Imperialist" agenda. Ha, ha, that felt great to type out
They are better off letting their spurious claims go once and for all and trying to improve relations with Great Britain and the Falkland Islands.
Oh, I fixed your typo too. You're welcome.The First Amendment applies to SMS, Emails, Blogs, online news, the Fourth applies to your cell phone, computer, and your car, but the Second only applies to muskets?

Perhaps Argentina should stamp their feet and make a nasty scowling face. That should sort out them pesky democrats!
Who do those Falkies think they are anyway running around voting on things! How on earth do they ever think they will integrate with Argentina with that attitude?What would Occam say?

On a recent article I wrote about Gib, some snarky commentator pointed out that under UN law a vote to remain in place, if conducted by a 'settler' or 'colonial' people doesn't count as they're there 'illegally'. Good luck getting the police force to carry out that 'law.------

Likewise the Falklands issue. And Gibraltar's popn is mostly Sicilian and Maltese too, and they've been there for some time. I don't blame these Banana Republics for trying to get these bits of land back, it's perfectly natural. We just need to look more to accepting that it may not be resolved, and prepared to keep the status quo, rather than seeking to settle some kind of 'right or wrong' about these issues, when there's arguments for both sides (not that I think much of the opposing arguments, but there's no qualified judge and police force to carry anything out)------
