Any nation that has its self interest as a priority would have chosen the attainable territorial goal of some Antarctic claim rather this...
But let's not forget that the important thing here is to replace all those white supremacists that populate ARS Peso notes with more updated and Nationalistic symbols such as Evita, Maluinas, and who knows perhaps Che Guevara, the Pucara Fighter Jet, and El ergonauta in the Future?
Of course when they finally allow us a note worth more than 10 US dollars it will either bear the silhouette of Huemul island or the face of President Campora
I just watched the cartoon (not as good as the Paka Paka one with Stallone commanding a fighter jet) and still cannot believe this issue is part of the government's agenda, or that the population swallows it
Has any Argentine, or non Argentine, ever seen a historical map or two of this country to recognize its territorial development?
Just a hint: If the Gauchos and Indians (let's not confuse them!) when deported back to Argentina had Buenos Aires as the closest port... it kinda says something as to how far south the United Provinces or Argentine Confederation had developed before the 1860s...
btw , who's not to say that the Falklands are actually originally Uruguayan? Much like with Gardel, I bet there is some historical reasonable doubt as to the true origin of El Gaucho Rivero and many of those original conquistadores.
Las Malvinas son Uruguayas!
