Yeah but it took two devastating wars where we redrew the map of Europe twice to get it in such a pleasing shape.

I edited my post just to say that (plus an extra few genocides :P).

Marty's idea that countries should be able to rule areas that are close to it has some merit.  The US should be able to annex Canada.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Poland was ruled from Berlin once in history so far. That went really well.

What I don't follow is why Marty wants to give more territory for the Argentine government to control. Based on performance they should be in line for a reduction.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I have a sneaking suspicion that if Marty were a Spanish speaker who frequented an Argentine forum he would be arguing the exact opposite.

Are you accusing him of . . . trolling? Mart??? :o

Not strictly speaking.  He very well could buy into his own narrative about heroically speaking unpopular trurths.

Is Euro sympathy toward Argentina re: 'Malvinas' a lefty thing?

Even the rabidly leftist folks on Austrian DerStandard forums don't support the Argentinians on this.

One of these days, mighty Canada will finally retrieve Saint Pierre and Miquelon from the vile French oppressors from far across the Impassable Ocean of the Atlantic. God Wills It™.
