I think the Argies will take a political and legal approach being as all they have now is peashooters and harsh language.

They're going to try and argue that the falklands are a colony of the uk and have no right to be there under the decolonization treaties of the UN.

What gets me though is that Argentina exists because of colonisation. Only about 1% of the Argentinian population is of indigenous ancestry and the rest are of European lineage that speak a European language. Surely arguing for decolonisation is arguing for their own demise.
