It’s like Mormons don’t even know their own history.


How is defending against an invasion not legitimate?


Every Argentine believes it should be colonized by them. Not a surprise when the country is like 90% descendants of colonizers. It’s the whitest in South America, the indigenous people have been mostly displaced. And it’s also the place that gave fleeing Nazis a home.


Also this:

Argentina invaded the island killed 3 Falklanders and then got their ass whooped. And to this day Argentines think they are the victims.


The US is closer to Greenland than Denmark is.
I doubt the regime that threw dissidents out of helicopters would have just let the British Falklanders live peacefully among the Argentines.
