The Malvinas Conflict

[Caius]

Tasmania? It's in the old cartoons, you know.

[Adrian II]

Indian Ocean.

Dang..

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

I do hope this is all some big joke, and if it is it's a poor one.

If not, you go fight for them yourself.

[Viking]

Settle the issue once and for all: give the Falklands/Malvinas to Kosovo.

I think we should just put it on sale on Ebay - after all no one seem to care about the innhabitants.

[InsaneApache]

Maybe we should put Hordaland, Norway, on Ebay, after all nobody cares what happens there.

[Big_John]

so which band is going to write the sequel to get your filthy hands of my desert?

♫♫ "fernández took the union jack!" ♫♫

[CountArach]

You can't invade Tasmania, we need it for nuclear testing.

Well I assumed that's what all of these other countries wanted it for. As long as there isn't much of Tasmania left (Except Bob Brown and all Bob Brown supporters) when the nuclear testing is through, I will think the trade-off will be worth it. In fact, we win - because they have to keep Tasmania...

Not sure where you're going with that one.

[LeftEyeNine]

Not sure where you're going with that one.

I agree with IA's statement of "relativity".

[Viking]

I agree with IA's statement of "relativity".

I think that what really matters in this conflict, is the inhabitants of the FI, and not national pride. Let the FI decide.

I think we should just put it on sale on Ebay - after all no one seem to care about the innhabitants.

I think that had sounded like " Falkland Islands anyway. Who cares ?" and that's why "We'd not care about Hordaland, Norway either."

[Philippus Flavius Homovallumus]

Hmmm, yes. The Islanders are British, they should not be ruled by a foreign power. Not to mention they're quite happy as is, thankyou very much.

[KukriKhan]

Do the islanders have internet? Someone should invite one of them here to give their side of the story.

seems they do

According to this document

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

In May 1999 the British Government, at the request of the Falkland Islands Councillors, initiated talks with Argentina to further aid co-operation over areas such as conservation of fish stocks and mineral resources. A Joint Statement, formally witnessed by two Falkland Islands Councillors, was signed in July 1999.

The Statement also provided for the resumption of flights from South America, including stopovers in Argentina and for the admission of Argentine passport holders to the Falkland Islands. Items can be summarised as follows:
Enhanced co-operation between the Falkland Islands and Argentina on fisheries, conservation and a co-ordinated programme to tackle poaching.


A review by the Argentine Government on the Argentine place names for Falkland Island locations, imposed under decree by General Galtieri.


The entry of Argentine citizens with an Argentine passport to the Islands, so ending the ban introduced in 1982.¹


The resumption of the weekly flight between Chile and the Falkland Islands suspended in March 1999 by the Chilean Government following the arrest of General Pinochet in the UK. The service makes two stops per month (one each way) in Rio Gallegos, Argentina.


A memorial to Argentine servicemen who lost their lives in 1982 to be erected in the Islands at the Argentine cemetery.²


Co-operation between the UK and Argentine Governments on the clearing of landmines.

the islanders are all for mutual cooperation between themselves, the UK and their neighbors in the region. I see no budding conflict there; rather: moves to resolve or prevent conflict.
