Comment on UK responds to Argentina new president’s pledge to ‘get back’ Falkland Islands
palordrolap@kbin.social 10 months agoThe Falklands are 300 miles "off the coast" of Argentina.
By that logic, France, let's say, has much greater rights to Britain's resources which is only 25 miles away, and Canada will no doubt be laying claim to Greenland very soon on account of it being only 10 miles off their coast.

You jest, but territorial disputes between Canada and Russia over the Arctic are a thing, and there was an active territorial dispute between Canada and Greenland over Hans Island that wasn’t resolved until last year.
Obviously I don’t mean to suggest that any of the stuff you mentioned could reasonably come true, just that it’s less removed from reality than you probably realized.
