Those islands have NEVER belonged to Argentina, and the islanders are British citizens. They have made, through their own self-determination, that they want to be a part of Great Britain.
Argentina wants to seize the islands just because...they might be able to. And the desires of the Falkland’s inhabitants?
Typical South Americans, the Argentines don’t give a damn.
The United States has more international right to take back our former colony of Cuba, than Argentina has to invade and seize the independent Falkland Islands.
Well, let the good times roll.

We have more of a claim to the Falklands than we have to Cuba...
In the 1840’s we sent a flotilla of ships down to Argentina to halt acts of piracy waged on US ships which would sail from the east coast and head round the cape through the Drake passage going to California.
The action was initiated because pleas to stop this were being ignored by the then Viceroy of Argentina. Pirates based in Puerto Soledad (todays Port Stanley) on the Malvinas (Falkland)Islands. The flotilla sailed to Puerto Soledad. Marines and sailors were disembarked, captured the pirates and evacuated the town and dumped everybody off in Argentina. Then burned the abandoned town to the ground .
Through that action the US had the opportunity to claim the islands but for some reason chose not to do so. After that the islands lay abandoned for some time when the Brits came who originally had a whaleing station there came back and claimed it.
YOU LOT have more of a claim to the islands than the Argentines.
