Bottom line is, it will always be the Fakland Islands and the islanders will always be protected by the UK, that will not change. You can speculate the motives as much as you like but this has been the case for nearly 200 years, long before anyone knew what oil was. You seem to forget the the people living there are self governing and make their own decisions, I think they are due a bit more credit than is given.
