Give the Falklands to the U.S. Use it as a penal colony for MS-13 types. In 50 years give it back to Argentina. The 2k Brits can be given land to farm/fis in the Commonwealth country of their choice.

We had a chance to take it. It’s never veen brought up out but when Argentinia was still controlled by Spain and Argentina was known as “The Vice-Royalty of Argentina.The Brits had adandoned the place. Pirates were operating out of the main island preying on US Clipper ships during the California gold rush from east coast ports heading to California going round the cape from a town known as Puerto Soledad (today’s Port Stanley).

Yhe US navy with a bunch of Marines came down and ended those raids and burned the town down. Yhe Viceroy claimed he was unable to maintain control and offered the place to US. We turned it down and the Brits took it back.
