The article discusses conflict between Argentina and Great Britain over the Falkland Islands in 2012, comparing it to the Falkland Islands war of 1982. The author argues that the 1982 conflict discredited the military junta which governed Argentina at the time and examines the political aspects of the situation in 2012, saying that the Argentinians claim the islands to seem patriotic. Concerns about the exploitation of fish and oil reserves are examined.
