Worth noting that the Chinese ambassador also called it the Malvinas throughout, not the Falklands.

    A lot of you are to the right of the Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/apr/07/british-sovereignty-falklands-absurd-imperial-hangover-argentina

    In 2012 it was estimated that British taxpayers paid more than £20,000 per islander for defence alone, and approximately one-third of the population worked for the government.

    Surely this is an independent population that exists for reasons other than to be a military foothold in South America.

    IMO, it should just become a separate country, or at the very least demilitarized. And no, the Argentine government of today isn't the same as back then. They aren't just going to invade because the British fuck off.
