Ironically I think the British could have been persuaded to hand it over to Argentina at some point. Kinda like with Hong Kong (although part of that was under a 99 year lease, but notably that wasn't the whole territory either. Also I think the British could have just told them they weren't the Qing dynasty if they really wanted to keep it)

Q I mean it was literally what was happening. The military dictatorship acted like a bunch of fucking idiots and fucked it up completely.

The Falklands are British. 1) Argentina lost them in the most recent war 2) The people living there and want to be British because at the moment, Argentina sucks.

One of the funniest things about the referendum is that the 3 who voted against British rule didn't necessarily want Argentinian rule- they could have wanted independence.
