Lets go back and discuss the Falkland island issue-We have a Ukraine thread to be used to discuss Ukraine and it's early referendum.

(End of an off topic....)

After having read your first to post

I came to the conclusion:

Argentina are trying to get back the Falkland island peacefully.

So far it has not been a success-By reading your second post. But can EU be trusted in this case ?

They will even go through UN and the South American cooperation to win back Falkland island peacefully.

If they would take the chance to invade a second time I don't know I hope not.

As far as I'm aware the UN agree with the British position and the UK are going nowhere as long as the islanders are a miniscule fraction short of 100% in favour of remaining British.

Well then they should pack their things together and forget about getting the island back peacefully.

They should also pack their military things 'cause they will get a smack in the behind if they try something.

Never understood their eager to get the island back..it is British and the people on the island see them self as British.

It is not in the hands of EU to decide that, and also of course they should not interfere in any way. It is none of their business and they should just shut up

I don't think Argentina can afford a rowboat at the moment much less a General Belgrano.

Probably political crap meant for the consumption of the Argentinian population to keep their ratings/popularity as high as possible.

Which many will argue as being the underlying factor.
