Just for the record: you're defending an imperial colony in the 21st century, that exists for the sole purpose of having a claim for the UK over Antartida. That's it. That's the whole point of the UK being there. Of course the oil and fish are a plus, but if those islands were closer to Brazil, they would've left a long time ago.

It's almost as if you didn't post this (in the 21st century) as an argument for an Argentine take over of the Falklands:

"Again: Spain asserted sovereignity over those islands as part of the colony way before that."
