Don’t Argentina’s claims basically come from it being part of the same Spanish colony? Cause idk that doesn’t sound very de-colonialist to me.
but like, on serious note, this is probably just China doing the whole ‘East Turkestan is a real country’ shit but in reverse.
You could also use that argument to claim any other island belongs to the nearby landmass. By that logic Florida has a claim on Cuba
Cuba’s not right there. It’s way over somewhere. Falklands are right there.
UK is waaaaay the fuck over there. Not even here. They’re too far there to be here and thus lay no claim.

I think it’s exactly this. I get it, although I don’t think it’ll be particularly useful to anyone.
