    As the British always fall into inconsistencies, into great contradictions, an invading country of Argentina, which expelled its inhabitants, supports an invaded country like Ukraine.
    One more example of British hypocrisy.

    Even Reagan got off the fence in ’82. How Argentina ‘tried’ to justify their 1982 invasion of the Falklands at the UN.

    We were invaded by the British 4 times, we expelled them 3 times, unfortunately we continued with a part of our country occupied by a foreign country. British hypocrisy.
    It was never British territory, that exists in the feverish imperialist minds.

    “It was never British territory”

    Akehursts Modern Introduction to International Law By Peter Malanczuk

    “..It is therefore not surprising that the General Assembly declared in 1970 that the modem prohibition against the acquisition of territory by conquest should not be construed as affecting titles to territory created 'prior to the Charter regime and valid under international law'..”

    “According to this world renowned jurist Hans Kelsen, in his book General theory of law and state he writes:

    ”if the conquest is firmly established. Taking possession through military force of the territory of another State against the latter's will is possible, however, without any military resistance on the part of the victim. Provided that a unilateral act of force performed by one State against another is not considered to be war in itself (war being, according to traditional opinion, “a contention between two or more States through their armed forces” and hence at least a bilateral action) annexation is not only possible in time of war, but also in time of peace. The decisive point is that annexation, that is, taking possession of another State's territory with the intention to acquire it, constitutes acquisition of this territory even without the consent of the State to which the territory previously belonged, if the possession is “firmly established.” It makes no difference whether the annexation takes place after an occupatio bellica or not.”

    “don't bother wasting your time responding to Malvi”

    To me its just an exercise in pure logic. It's so easy to show sources by two international law scholars. Who aren't British, that refute such claims, and put the info in the public arena.
