Wasn't Protector accused of being a spy ship by one of the lunatics on here, despite it having 292 feet of BRIGHT RED HULL?

Problem is Buenos Sires doesnt know where Tristan da Cunha is otherwise the would want to kick the wicked colonists of that Atlantic Island too. Probably also make a formal protest to Norway about the colonization of Bouvet Island. Ooops!! Another blooper by the Argentine Foriegn Ministry. There are no Norwegians or any other nationality on Bouvet. Argentine answer Well if there is nobody there it must be ours by right of conquest by Santa Cruz penguins

#2 Well if you're saying there's no-one there, surely it should be part of the nearest country?!
