It is all stupid but it is crazy that the UK thinks it has any claim to the Falkland islands though
The current claim is that the people there pretty much unanimously voted that they want to remain British. Britain is in decline, but Argentina in terms of actual conditions and stability for those that live there is worse.
It's a settler state fighting a coloniser state on the basis that the settler state is the one who really deserves to own a rock far out in the ocean on the basis of a dubious historical claim against the wishes of the people who live there.
I don't think it matters a whole lot given that the island was uninhabited when they got there. All that matters here is truly the people that exist today.
it probably costs the UK money to maintain its presence on the islands, so in the name of austerity, they should forcibly repatriate the inhabitants to england and leave the islands empty once again.
the lathe demands someone 9/11 the falklands when britain is broke as an afghan trap and then xi will build real neom oxagon
