Was it worth the 907 lives lost?

If they were "irrelevant rocks", no one had fought for them, isn't it?
>>61260813
It's more of a symbolic issue.
We had to fight back to prove we still had it in us.
really makes you think
>>61260813
I think the penguins were worth it
My country and the frogs went to war for a fucking cake so
>>61260813
The civilian population wanted to be British.
Britain needed to demonstrate that they could and would still fight.
Argentine casualties aren't even real people anyway, so only 258 really died.

And you pulled it off thanks to stupidity of the Argentinians.

I wish things we didn't have to participate in the war in the first place, it only created bad blood between us, and while 'bolivarianism' isn't my thing either, we certainly could use a lot more cooperation in key areas.
At any rate, we did so because our country was in danger of being invaded too, in fact Galtieri was planning on invading Chile after his expected success on the islands. We we also going through a huge crisis and an arms embargo, so there was little else we could do at the time.
In any case, the doors of history are open again, the very Brits kicked them down and allowed the world to move forward once again. I hope we both have the chance to make things right this time around.

Tbh Argentina always tried to be the power of latam and always failed miserably. How many times they backstabbed everyone in all history?
>>61267550
That's part of what I mean by making things right now that we have the chance. We're way past the age of majority as nations, it's time to to stop being manchildren if we want to ever achieve great things.

Absolutely.
Anyway, Argentina's fascist dictatorship only did it to distract from their appalling performance at home.
