    You do realize, Britain (in a sense) took the islands from the US.
    The US actually gave you permission and the “go ahead”. But they could have kept the islands, and YOUR COUNTRY NEVER WOULD HAVE SO MUCH AS COMPLAINED, well maybe a little, but for sure Britain would have never tried to use military force against the Americans had the Americans stayed on. Lucky for you potential rape victims abound in the world, don't they?

    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.”

    What world do you live in Edgar, not this one that is for certain. nothing more than a whacko conspiracy theorist full of hate. the US got its ass kicked in the 1812 war, they invaded what is now Canada and was kicked out, the Falklands would have been a piece of cake. now lets talk about your ancestors the Romans who conquered, raped, stole. murdered and enslaved much of Europe and sections of Africa and Asia, lets talk about your Spanish heroes , who did the exact same in the Americas, the Philippines and the Netherlands. and the evil Spanish inquisition,
