    @1 too true, as we speak Argtards have already cooked up a history of argtard colonization and british aggression on the floater going back 200 years, a letter has already been posted to the UN, Red Cross, FIFA, UKHKA, AKC....staking argtard territory for the motherland, and if anybody else even looks at it they will sue them, apparently its already top on Argtard agenda at the next OAS/G20 meeting. this will lead to war.....
