      From what I understand the Falklands are like the one place the British taking wasnt evil because no one lived there. So most people who live there now are British descendants who’ve always thought of themselves as British. The only claim Argentina has to them is that they’re nearby

        There may not have been any people there but what the Brits did to the Falkland Island foxes is unforgivable.

        They had no fear of humans, they were non hostile, they walked up practically begging to be domesticated and instead they were slaughtered and driven to extinction.

        (I feel it probably should be Argentina’s but the Islanders should be allowed to stay, because that would be funniest yet most humane outcome)

        This would be the funniest outcome, but as much as I hate to take the side of :ukkk: i think it should stay theirs. They were the first people that land belonged to, the only people who’ve ever lived there were Br*tish, and the overwhelming majority of the people living there now want to stay Br*tish. Isn’t basically the only claim Argentina has to it “It’s nearby”?

            I would 100% support a “You can keep it you just can’t have military there” solution. It just seems wrong to me to force people who live on non-stolen land to either leave the place they’ve lived their whole lives or join a country that not only have they never been a part of but doesn’t even speak their language.

            I’m also just a dumbass burgerlandian on the internet so literally nothing I say on this matters at all
