When a country has Another part of land in a limit of 200 miles  away from the shore are declared as territory of the Country and Malvinas are 180 miles away so they are in  Plataforma submarina perteneciente a La Republica Argentina (in spanish) so Malvinas are in Argentinian territory

Or maybe Argentina belongs to the UK, since it's 180 miles away from British territory, or maybe Brazil belongs to Argentina or vise versa, as they are all neighbors..

Yes, your logic doesn't work, the first person to ever step foot on the islands was British, therefore they are British islands.

Mikal you must be Joking man
 Argentina is a COUNTRY Malvinas Is a TERRITORY it has no prime minister or President

and Argentina and Brazil have no political problems between each others and they have a neutral Place

I'm not joking, I was using your logic against you, they are governed by the UK, they come under the governing of the UK just as Great Britain and Northern Ireland do.

Its not his logic, its international law. And he has a big point, since the UK unlike USA, has signed the UNCLOS III, so they're forced by international law to implement it.

I beg you to stop talking about things you got no clue of, its getting humiliating how you attempt to "use his logic against him" yet you dont know what the hell you're talking about.

No disrespect intended.

[Mikal]

respect intended.

I beg to differ, you've been calling me retarded throughout this topic, unlike some I don't spend my spare time reading the international law book, and screw that law, Argentina's government can keep whining, it's always been British territory so that law shouldn't even be considered.

Country, shores. Brazil only shares land borders with Argentina.

Two simple words; you ignored both.

:ps: Matute's sig actually implies Falklands belong to Belarus.

[Mikal]

Matute's sig actually implies Falklands belong to Belarus.

I think thats a bit far away..

[JayL]

You say that because the gone-bankrupt colonial empire will never reach the mighty overseas territories of Belarus.

[Mikal]

You say that because the gone-bankrupt colonial empire will never reach the mighty overseas territories of Belarus.

Sorry, you forget to mention the navy of the once powerful colonial empire is still the worlds 2nd most powerful, due to be first with it's 2 SOTA Elizabeth class carriers which are due to be finished by 2016 and 2018, along with the 3 submarines under construction which will also be the worlds most powerful and technologicly advanced submarines ever to be constructed, if you look at the statistics you will see the UK is getting more powerful as the years go by, every empire falls, but every empire has the chance to rise back up, not that the UK will ever start being colonial all over again, that'd just ruin it, but it will still make the UK a force to be respected one again.

Very usefull to spend money on aircraft carriers under these economic conditions.

[JayL]

Everyone always says their new weapon is the most technologically advanced available one. However, seeing as UK only can rise their tone against Argentina, I'd think twice before considering your boasting believable.

When you are defending a nation, the cost is invaluable.

Hey man look at the US, they facing falling off the fiscal cliff and they still keep 10 aircraft carriers in operation..

Plus, all these military constructions will create a shitload of jobs, and already have in the engineering area.

Look at the UK's power during the Falklands war and what it's come to today.

The UKs military was ruined after the WW's and has been recovering ever since, the British had barely anything back then during the war, now look what it's got today and compare.

[ElMartu]

Yeah many people are threatening to invade your country

[Mikal]

Yeah many people are threatening to invade your country

No, but the UK does alot of work in other countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq or Iran, plus the Falklands and other British over seas territories, that why they are needed.

Edit
I found it:

This shows British military power on the Falklands back then compared to today.
