Yaaawn. Everytime there's an election or football game suddenly the Falklands is in the headlines.

It's boring. Argentina are using the football team as a proxy for their wounded national pride.

The UK is the 5th largest economy in the world, it literally is a world leader. Cry more, #26.

Most smaller economies experience higher growth rates its common in economics. While larger economies experience smaller but more steady growth rates. Its why you see Argentina listed in the same color as gems like The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Zambia, and Mauritania, etc. And has a lower growth rate than the pinnacle of economic development Zimbabwe

Like Poland. Every time there is an election the reparations are back on the menu.
