Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.
It literally has nothing to do with that. It’s land off the coast of Argentina. They should be allowed to use it and not have British oil drilling and navy ships patrolling around it.
How long before the US decides to coup Argentina and sets up some spy base or black site on the islands, if they don’t have one already?
There’s a lot to criticize the UK for. Fairly inhabiting barren rocks without an indigenous population isn’t one of them.

and how would that be affected by the brits owning it?
as a communsist, the thing i care about the most is people and the people of the falklands overwhelmingly want to be part of this hell hole for some fucking reason
and given that the islands were uninhabited before they were colonised, there is no justification for suddnly making them argentinian
Not like those people have any more claim to the islands than anyone else. Who cares that they were uninhabited beforehand or whatever. The here and now is that Britain is drilling for resources there.
The UK is 11th in terms of median wealth, Argentina is 119th. Should oil money off the coast of Argentina benefit Argentinians, or British people?
they have claim to the islands because they fucking live there dude
because i’m sensing a “you’re just a british nationalist” coming in the immediate future, i’ll just make my position clear
if the islanders decided that they would rather be argentinian, i would wholeheartedly support argentina’s claim to the islands

There is no reason whatsoever to override self determination because There were no indigenous people there when it was settled. So the people who live there come first.

I would absolutely say the first group of people to settle a previously uninhabited area have more claim than anyone else.
“Native Americans have no more claim to Ohio than anyone else” yeah except being the first people to live there
