The Falklands
#8
Argentina no more wants the Falklands than it does any other part of the UK. It lays claim to them occasionally to distract from economic problems at home and it suits us to rattle the sabre a bit because we're not short of economic problems of our own. They are an expensive luxury which we are happy to sustain, they are nearly a thousand miles from Buenos Aires and would be as much a burden to them as to us.

There is very likely oil down there which it would be hard to extract without the cooperation of local nations. Watch out for the politicians ruining what could be a financial bonanza for both countries by having a pissing competition instead of organising to exploit this valuable local resources.
