Given that Britain discovered the Falklands in 1690 and claimed them in 1765, 11 years before the land now known as Argentina became a Spanish colony and 94 years before Argentina became an independant country I cannot see why Britain should not equally claim Argentina as British territory ...with Jezza as dictator.

They gave it away! Krushchev may have been *** when he did it, like most of his fellow leaders, but tough ;-)
Furthermore, Russia signed an international accord with the U.K. and the US guaranteeing the borders of the new post Soviet Ukraine.
And even if the Russian claim was legitimate, which it isn't of course, the manner in which they annexed it most certainly was not
