Argentine aggression and colonial ambitions are getting bolder

The problem I have with the current UK position on the Falklands is you just can't see it going well.

The underlying problem is the rabid aggression from Argentina against the inhabitants of the Falklands.

UK policy should be to reverse this misunderstanding, as its the well of future disputes.

The Foreign Offices policy of not upsetting anyone just isn't working and isn't going to work.

Don't worry we'll send a gunboat to sort the natives out!
Now where's that price lsit from the Swiss Navy?

The Foreign Office does not wish to resolve this as they need as many potential conflagrations as possible for their bosses to choose from.

IMO the Falklanders should declare independence. They've got oil and mineral supplies - kinda guarantees the "west's" protection - see Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Kuwait. Plus they will end up a very rich little country.

The "UK" neither has the capability or the money to bail them militarily if the Argies decide to invade again.

Independence is certainly what I'd be after if I was a Falkland Islander.
