    the Argentinian claim being the anti-colonialism one

    “The British didn’t colonize The Falklands, it was an empty island, but also the Argentinians are the real colonists because they wanted sovereignty over a neighboring island which was the rightful possession of a country on the far end of another hemisphere” is a level of mental gymnastics Olympic Athletes would marvel at.

    this was supposed to be some kind of justification

    It’s soccer hooligans holding up posterboard covered in sharpie and y’all act like you just survived Verdun.

      Yes, it is. But I didn’t ask for your floor routine. I pointed out what was explicitly said above to start this comment thread since you seem to have lost the thread of thought.

      I see no evidence that rockSlayer is a soccer hooligan or wrote his comment down on a posterboard. I just see what he posted here, in a comment.
