The Brits should have gone further and claimed the mainland as well. The Brits gave them many things which helped make Argentins one of the top five countries in the world. Then the Spanish came along to fuck it up.
Wanting the Falklands to be Argentine is nothing but a joke to be honest.
It's not the Spanish who fucked it up, surely? Peron laid the seeds back in the 40s and the country is now reaping that poison harvest.
I like your suggestion that the Brits should have claimed the mainland which is in fact the premise of my book.
