There has been peace since your evil Junta was defeated in 1982, and as for dialogue, the only sabre rattling comes from Buenos Aires,

Its only a problem because Argentina makes it one. Actually its quite peaceful here (and in SGSSI).

“reaffirms, in an inclaudicable form, its legitimate rights over these territories.”

Whence have you obtained them from? As you are barred from an inheritance by an Anglo-Spanish treaty.
The UK can rely on the Peace of Utrecht, which explicitly bars any Argentine claim of succession.
“...it is hereby further agreed and concluded, that neither the Catholic King, nor any of his heirs and successors whatsoever, shall sell, yield, pawn, transfer, or by any means, or under any name, alienate from them and the crown of Spain, to the French, or to any other nations whatever, any lands, dominions, or territories, or any part thereof, belonging to Spain in America.”

Perhaps Argentina should try the ICJ?

Mr. Jo Bloggs...

You say above...:
- “There’s a name for doing the same thing over and over expecting a different outcome … madness.”

I say...:
- Such statement may be generally true in fields as physics or chemistry...
But..., when combatting Anglo Colonialism and Haughtiness it is completely false and useless...
-If in any doubt..., I warmly recommend reading the biographies of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi or Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela...

Capisce...?
