Falklands - Malvinas

I find this to be a fascinating subject (but I'm exceedingly dull) and would like to hear other opinions on the topic.
Given the proximity to Argentina you'd think this would be an Argentine governed island, however the British populated it during their (our) colonial shenanigans and it's remained so ever since.
Now the islanders are vociferous in their claim to UK allegiance and I don't see how this would be resolved for them should they be forced to take on Argentine nationality.

Why is the demonstrably anti-colonial U.S. Administration siding with the Argies?

Anyone here find this interesting and have anything to add?

Bloody offseason.....
