Does anyone else find it strange Argentina still thinks they won the Falklands War?

[Melibaires]

As an Argentine, I’d say that the issue of the Malvinas is much more than just what the islanders think or want. The conflict isn't based solely on the opinions of the people living there; it's about a historical, legitimate claim to sovereignty that Argentina has had for over 180 years. The Malvinas are considered part of Argentine territory according to UN Resolution 2065, which acknowledges the sovereignty dispute and calls for peaceful negotiations between both countries to find a solution.

Furthermore, it’s important to understand that decisions about the sovereignty of a territory shouldn’t depend solely on the wishes of its inhabitants, but also on international law principles and the territorial integrity of the countries involved. When it comes to historical justice and politics, Argentina has the right to claim the islands.
It’s true that there’s a complicated relationship, but the claim over the Malvinas is deeply rooted in Argentina’s national identity. And as President Milei has said, we will continue to fight to reclaim the islands because they are part of our history and our sovereignty. I recommend that you don’t approach a local about the Malvinas issue in that way, as it’s a very sensitive topic.

Resolution 2065 is a non binding resolution that recognises the sovereignty dispute, but nothing else.
It doesnt say Argentina is correct , nor does it say that the UK is correct.
Many Falklanders/Malvinenses who I have met say that the Argentine version of history is not correct .
Is there anyone sufficiently independent to give an accurate version of history?

It seems like Resolution 2065 doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. I would guess that maybe some of the older Argentines had people that might have died or fought in that battle. But I would guess that the younger generations probably don't care that much. I met a few younger people in BA and asked them and they really didn't have much interest in that dispute. Do people even go there?

I talked to a bunch of people and asked if they had even been there and no one had. Is there even anything to do there? I get that both sides want it because it sounds like there might be some natural resources. But I would think that it should be dependent on what the locals want there. I don't know if it is true but I heard they need to vote on it. It wasn't even close! In the 2013 referendum 99.8% of voters chose to remain a British Overseas Territory. No one in their right mind there would want Argentina to control it. They should have the biggest say in if it goes back to Argentina.

One thing Milei is right about is the Islanders right to determine its fate. Argentines are always complaining. They need to just get over this issue. Milei nailed it when he said that Argentines are not worthy enough to recover the territory and that the UK's stance is correct.

Argentines love to complain.

Why in the world would the UK or anyone else for that matter care what Argentines think about it? Like other times in history, there was a dispute, then a war and the UK beat Argentina. Argentina surrendered and lost. Argentina can't even take care of its own citizens. Do you expect it to be able to take care of those on the island? Rightly so none of them want to be Argentine.

I don't like Milei and believe he is terrible but on this issue of the Falklands he is corrupt. Let the people there decide. Smartly they want nothing to do with Argentina.

Talk to any actual person that lives there and they will tell you they are happy. The younger Argentines do not feel strong on this issue. In another few decades I don't think many will care and it will certainly not go back to Argentina with so many locals that are against it. It's not even close! 99!

Argentines sound very dramatic! Charging treason against Milei for a speech? Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Treason charges filed against Milei for April 2 speech

Argentina's National Confederation of Malvinas Combatants filed a criminal complaint against President Javier Milei for treason, violation of public official duties, and abuse of authority. The case is to be heard by Buenos Aires City Federal Court # 2 under Judge Sebastián Ramos.
