            Imagine downvoting that by being so used to thinking “Britain and Thatcher bad” that you “forget” that Argentina picked that fight because they were ruled by a fascist junta.

              Or they could be ignorant of history and assume that the UK stole The Falklands from native people simply. I don’t really blame people for that becaise Great Britain did that a lot, they’re just innocent this time around

              For those unaware, The Falklands were actually uninhabited by the time Great Britain colonized it. The only recorded settlers of the islands before that was a group of pirates that used them as a base. They ended up disrupting so much shipping that the US navy came in and wiped them out 50-100 years before Great Britain claimed the islands.
