    BULL S**T! Sounds like a nice heroic story, but unfortunately for the education of your children, it is not true. Sooner or later they find out that it was not an occupation. It was a recovery attempt of the islands. Islands where today's islanders, who are still not sovereign for a purpose, were brought after stealing these islands from Argentina, through the use and abuse of conniving military force in conspiracy with the United States.

    I think we both know what the truth is Mr Fake. There's so much abuse of power, corruption, lying manipulation, propaganda, injustice, grotesque impunity and inhumanity by so many governments in the world today, including yours, that “the truth” is not a challenge at all. People are practically stumbling on it every day.

    I believe that would be exactly the opposite. “indoctrinated garbage”? “Q Anon conspiracy Theories” ?? LOL LOL You're the one saying gibberish and not saying anything meaningful! LOL ...Go on; tell me exactly what of what I'm saying is not true. Where the Islands British? They were not, the British left to go hide around the corner leaving Spain to capitulate on their dominion of the Islands. The British didn't even try to argue against Spain. Spain allowed them to return but the British demonstrated their lack of interest in settling the islands and preferred to focus elsewhere, until the Argentinian's inherited them and started settling them presenting the British with an easy rob them back opportunity. They never “were British” and the only reason the islanders are there now is because Britain bullies Argentina away through military force and economic blackmailing. Argentina is claiming sovereignty and rightful integration based on historical right. Britain only cares for exploitation expansionism and control of the region, which is of course the more righteous TRUE argument, so Britain lies and seeks to ignore the situation diplomatically because they always known and even admitted to themselves they had a weak argument, until they started throwing more wood into the fire of the bogus cheating false Self Determination narrative, and now treats it like a war hypothesis to keep the islanders worried. Indeed Britain has never stopped “taking” the islands from Argentina, and thinking up strategies to keep the Argentinians from laying down the substance of their denouncement. If this weren't all true and the islands were truly “British” as you say, why then would the Britain have accepted entering in talks and negotiations with Argentina over the administration and eventual sovereignty of the islands between 1966 and 1980 ?

    Regini, your post wandered off the subject and ended up having nothing to do with the topic, like it does so many times , so yes gibberish, we all know all governments lie and are corrupt and self serving and that includes your lot too, Neither Spain or France have ever said they claimed the islands first, clearly they did not, only Argentina says they did, strange that isnt it, Britains claim to the Falklands was long before you ever existed as a country, the claim was never given up, the Malvinas myth is just that a myth based on a pack of lies,

    UNCONVINIENT TRUTHS OF THE ISLAS MALVINAS #30

    It's hard for British to face the truth, yet no amount of repetition of your false narrative, neither the unfortunate attempts to self-determination/ self-victimisation as ‘don’t want to be colonised by Argentina’ would make the Islas Malvinas British by right. You're still a British colony, of kelpers descendants of the first and second invaders.

    Spain, and after her, its rightful descendants, the former colony that birthed the Provincias del Rio de la Plata, later known as Argentina, had sovereignty, possession and the administration of the islands. These are historical, geographical and international law facts that support our country's rightful claim, having diplomatically demanded to Britain the return of the islands since its last usurpation in 1833, to the integrity of its territory, a legal right that all other former colonies had.

    We Argentinians, most of the world, and many British know this.

    My compatriots well assert that the Gesta de Malvinas was never an invasion, but an act of recovery of our Islas Malvinas, our territory.

    Malvinas Argentinas, nunca cedidas, jamás olvidadas.
