#3 The UK has owned it longer than living memory. How long must one possess a piece of land before we start to laugh off other claims? Every chunk of land goes back to someone. We are a migrating conquering species.

The entire AngloSphere should shut down our embassies in Argentina until they end this idiocy. If it all happened on one day, or a cascading effect of a few a day for a week it would send a powerful message.

Take that up with the Prussian and Silesian Germans. However, it appears the German solution is not war these days, but financial acquisition.
