do you believe in the right of the living to vote for their own destiny.
Maybe we cherry pick "Rights" too.. Which rights, which not? When and for which people? And for who not? Why?

Every situation will have a historical justification and rights to have to be defended.

Defending your interest, historical rights, civilization, way of living, freedom, everywhere, pre-emptive. That's how every war is started. People will absorb it.

And what about Queen Elizabeth Land? Which Right should we pick there?

I'm not against UK, the Falklands or Argentina. Just noticing the UK view on the matter is poorly understood by countries that are on the same side usually.

Many seem to somehow think in the case of the Falklands, the British kicked the Argentinian troops off and settled the place with their own nationals. Those are fully dependent on the UK and have the right for self determination. Engineered some say.
