Hmmm......the "occupation" is on a group of Islands where 100% of the population wish to remain British! The Argentinians have no legal entitlement that places their claim above that of the British....except that dating from when Spain was an "Imperial power".

Your comment about nuclear weapons being pointed at Buenos Aires is just silly.....

And even if it wasn't, don't you perhaps think that Argentinian conscripts pointing guns at civilians on the islands was perhaps quite threatening as well??!

Thanks to the poster for pointing everyone at a little-known piece of world history and remembering those who fought and died for either country.
