Well, Argentina still thinks they won the war. She is saying all the people there are squatters! I'm sure they would have a different opinion.

The story of the Falkland Islands is far from over. I believe you have to be Argentine to truly understand it. The British ambassador refused to take a photo because a congresswoman was wearing a shirt featuring the Malvinas with the colors of the Argentine flag. For Argentines, this remains a very sensitive topic.

La embajadora del Reino Unido se negó a sacarse una foto con una diputada que tenía una remera de Malvinas

En un encuentro de amistad con el Reino Unido de Gran Bretaña e Irlanda del Norte en el Congreso, la embajadora Kirsty Hayes le pidió a la diputada Agustina Propato que se cambiara la remera.

Argentina somehow thinks that some day they will get the Falklands back. Not sure how they see that happening.

Well the UK certainly doesn't have any doubts about who owns the Falklands. The UK Minister of the Armed Forces is very clear,
"The Falkland Islands are British, and they will remain British for as long as the Islanders wish.

In the 2013 referendum, an overwhelming 99.8% voted to remain as an overseas territory of the UK. Your right of self-determination is enshrined in the UN Charter and a UN Covenant on Human Rights. We look forward to building a productive relationship with Argentina as a fellow G20 partner, but our position on the Falklands is unwavering.

“Falklands are British”, an unequivocal message from UK Minister for the Armed Forces

Plymouth has a long and rich naval history. It is celebrated as where Sir Francis Drake played bowls as the Spanish Armada loomed in 1588 and as a key embarkation point for invading Allied forces on D-Day. However, the city’s critical role in the Falklands War is perhaps less widely appreciated.

I wonder who those 0.2% of the people there voted to go with Argentina. I have met several people from there and they say it will never go back to Argentina and they would never vote for that.
