    Had they not invaded there’s a good chance they would be Argentinian by now, which is the funniest part of the whole fiasco.

    Gave Thatcher an easy election win, which is genuinely unforgivable.

      That’s the fucking part that blows my mind. They were about to get it back for fucking free. But the Military Dictatorship had to Military it up and then not only got their asses handed to them, but also gave Thatcher and Reaganomics the boost of a lifetime.

      Every single time I see anything argentinian named “LAS MALVINAS ARGENTINAS XYZ” it feels so fucking pathetic. They put it on a (now worthless) 50 peso banknote.
