@CosmicCleric I can believe I want a fucking pony. Doesn’t make it so.
Imperial Spain has a long history of being told to go fuck itself by people it tried to conquer. It also, along with Britain, has a shameful history of stealing bits of land from people unable to defend themselves. One such example is, oh, Argentina, a settler colonial state established by the Spanish at the expense of the people already living there.
The Falkands, on the other hand, were populated by penguins, and penguin shit before the current settlement was established. They are a rare example of the British Empire having actual clean hands in the establishment of a colony.
Now the descendants of the people who nicked Patagonia from its original inhabitants want to play continuity Hapsburg shit. “Oh, that’s 500 km from us, we want it”. Paris is less than that distance from London. What do you think the Louvre would have to say if the British Museum demanded the Mona Lisa?
Yeah. Thought so. Regardless, if Argentina want to get the same response (being told to fuck off by people with bigger guns) the way mummy and daddy have been for centuries, fine. Come and have a go if you think you’re hard enough (hint, you aren’t.)
