You can have your opinion, but I abide by a belief system that is purely anti-colonial and anti-imperialist. I don’t believe that a nation can morally travel halfway around the world and legitimately claim land that doesn’t fall within its original borders. It’s bad when the UK does it, or the US, or France, Israel, Russia, Spain, etc. I firmly reject the concept of “Nobody’s Land” means that it’s up for the taking.
And I’m sorry, but the world accepts terra nullus.
I don’t believe you reject it as much as you assumed Britain colonized occupied or claimed land and are refusing to climb down from that mistaken assumption.
The entire concept of Terra Nullus originated from the idea that a land was “uninhabited” if it didn’t have western control. I understand that the Faulkland Islands didn’t have an indigenous population, but I’d argue that of all parties involved, the Argentinians have a better claim since it was their territory that they administered after gaining independence from the Spanish.
Whether it be Guam, Hawaii, Algeria, Gaza, and the West Bank, etc., it is immoral in my opinion for a nation to lay claim to land external to their original borders. By that rationale, the moon now belongs to the US because they got there first.
You’re literally defending a bunch of Spaniards, Italians, and Nazis who militarily invaded sovereign English territory with no justification other than they wanted it.
Ignorant.
Brits were the first people on Falklands.
Spain tried to take England’s possession.
Argentina tried to annex the Falklands at gun point.

Just breathtakingly ignorant.
Get out of your tankie bubble.
Says the imperialist. You a Zionist too?

The English are the natives in this case.
