Jan 14th, 2013 - 04:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Britain needs to return the empire stolen items to their rightful owners.
That's rigth Alejandro..uk is all alone...poor demented losers...
Jan 14th, 2013 - 04:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0HApy New Year and Merry Christmas Alejandro!
I sent a letter to Santa and haven't received my pressies yet, maybe I should send copies to the General Assembly.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 04:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0@1 and 2 You poor demented wankers.
Wow I guess it is too much to expect Marcos Alejandro or Malvinero1 to actually say anything new......
Jan 14th, 2013 - 05:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah yeah Britain stole the islands - so what!
Yeah yeah Britain is all alone - so what!
Britain is evil.... Britain is an empire.... Britain is going broke.... Britain is weak....
Blah blah blah. I guess they can't argue much more because the Argentine government can't either.
Though I am glad Argentina has distributed this document to all UN members. They are doing a lot to advertise and highlight the up and coming referendum. Please CFK, talk about it more so that people start to take notice.
Because a vote is hard to miss and thanks to Argentina it is getting more and more notice around the world.
Oh and before ANYONE starts quoting UN resolutions, please be aware that all UN resolutions are subservient to the UN Charter.
Chapter 1 Article 1 Paragraph 2
“To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples”
There is nothing about territorial integrity in the UN Charter.
There is nothing any any SINGLE UN resolution that negates self determination.
So don't even bother guys. Find a new tact.
Can't the UK just issue a document addressing each of Argentina's claims and with proof, something the Argies never provide?
Jan 14th, 2013 - 05:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well the UNGA can always use more toilet paper.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 06:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0To posters 1 and 2, if Argentina's sovereignty claim is so solid why don't you PROVE it at the ICJ?
No? Why? Because your sovereignty claim is a lie, based on other lies, and you have no EVIDENCE to back up any of your erroneous claims.
Once again you government is bothering the rest of the world, who have far more important things to deal with, in an ever increasingly desperate attempt to divert the attention of the Argentine public.
This is probably being released today to distract the 'people' from the fact that your president is spending all the taxpayers money on extremely expensive hotel rooms, and I'll bet she uses the minibar too...
Aregentine President: Pathetic, Desperate, WEAK.
Cannot return something to someone who has never owned it MoreCrap.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 06:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina still struggling with the real version of history I see. 1833 wasn't important. A minor police action. Now 1829 - that was important.
You were warned :-)

Interesting, by the way, is that CFK fired certain people for NOT anticipating the problems for the Libertad in Ghana, but the bartender of the Libertad said in October that they should have known, and he was fired for speaking against the government. Seems these tinpots can't make their minds up. If in doubt, fire everyone?!
Jan 14th, 2013 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0I love that KFC / TMBOA / Ol' Turkey Neck / Asslips Kitchner / The Harpy is so obbessed with the Falklands while conveniently ignoring the the land which they have “forcibly stripped” from their neighbours.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 07:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0What about their “territorial integrity” huh???
Shouldn't they be ”Demanding” of Argentina, land that has be “forcibly stripped” from them?
Or shouldn't Argentina be returning them of her own free will to show what a friendly neighbour she is?
The hypocrisy being displayed here is quite stunning
I shouldn't worry too much about our Argentine friends.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 07:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can say someone stole something a billion times but if you have no evidence to prove it and Argentina does not, you've got zero chance of anyone actually believe it and in this case see Ban Ki Moon's statement on the matter.
And if that wasn't bad enough if your own story is also and obviously fictitious then all you have is people laughing and at you until they tire of your endless complaints and in this case, its the world who is completely and utterly fed up with the lies and deceit of the Argentine government and people.
You have become more irrelevant with the increase of your lies and bullying and childish behavior towards the islanders.
You are pathetic.

Jan 14th, 2013 - 07:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0Excuse my ignorance,but can anyone list these ?I know about“ The conquest of the desert”
They have stolen stuff from Paraguay and Uruguay and have tried it on with Chile. Thieving is one of the very few things the RGs are quite good at.... but not good enough.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 08:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do our Argentine posters think that Argentina should return the land forcibly stripped during the Conquest of the Desert? Given they'll probably claim that didn't happen, how about the land stolen from Paraguay during the War of the Triple Alliance?
Jan 14th, 2013 - 08:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Paper, waste, bin. That's about as much attention the UN are going to allot to this letter. They have bigger and more pressing matters to deal with happening today, they will not bother with issues that allegedly took place 180 years ago.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 09:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0If argentina really wants the UN to sit up and take note, it should circulate the letter to each Ambassador with a large box of Ferrero Rocher!

Thanks Cristina
P.S The North Pole belongs to Argentina you colonial dog.
Argentina is turning into one big yawn factory, all that these cowards can do us hide behind the UN. If you want it, come and take it, otherwise STFUp.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 11:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why not give official cites and the sources for the claims in the letter, this would then back up her claims!!
Jan 14th, 2013 - 11:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Oh I forgot, it's all made up lies and bullshit. Just what the UN General Assembly really needs right now,it's not like they have any real matters to deal with.
Look for orchestrated events in the streets of Argentina around Referendum time...There will be some notable, sensible, absentees though.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 11:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0@Marcos Alejandro ,Malvinero1 Argentina, spins lies and propoganda to its own peiople on a daily bases also you have been speaking this crap at The UN for years ask your STUPID self IS ANYONE REALLY LISTENING???? also have you noticed old botox Crissy Cruchner is replacing men in these post with Hard Fced looking women Maria Percaval(I hope she bathed and washed her hair she looked FILTHY in her photo) Alicia Castro (looks like a bloke in drag) Crissy, Cruchner I believe they think if they keep shouting there latino GOBS loud enough then it will work

As always wasting everybody elses time ! I would say most people have read the letter and the reply by the Sun . Here , in far away Paraguay , the letter and reply received full coverage !
Jan 14th, 2013 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's a pointless request in any case as the UN, as constituted, cannot adjudicate on pre 1945 border disputes.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 11:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Any non-binding resolutions that request that the UK and Arg find a peaceful solution were rudely blown out of the water in 1982.
Things have moved on and the old bi-partite talks are gone - there will be no discussions unless the FIG are involved and in agreement.
Would the Argentine posters on this forum kindly comment why in 1982 when you animals illegally invaded The Falkland Islands and when The UN security council voted that Argentina withdraw immediately,now surely if you had so much suport for your lies and propoganda no such resolution would have been passed infact surely it would have been a GREEN LIGHT for The UN to say Argentina you are right so stay ??
Jan 14th, 2013 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0”On the evening of the 3 April, Britain's United Nations ambassador Sir Anthony Parsons put a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council. The resolution, which condemned the hostilities and demanded immediate Argentine withdrawal from the Islands, was adopted by the council the following day as United Nations Security Council Resolution 502, which passed with ten votes in support, one against (Panama) and four abstentions (China, the Soviet Union, Poland and Spain).[26][27][28] The UK received further political support from the Commonwealth of Nations and the European Economic Community”
It seems the Malvinistas are unable to answer any of questions - I re-iterate: should Argentina hand back territory forcibly stripped from Paraguay and the Amerindians? If not, why?
Jan 14th, 2013 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1 & 2 Why would the UK give any territory to a genocidal, implanted population?
Jan 14th, 2013 - 01:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems that our malvinista “friends” have done another thing that argies do well. They've run away!

Jan 14th, 2013 - 02:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It may be coming sooner than you think. Cristina Hitler gives every impression of being totally mental and increasingly desperate.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 02:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If her grip on power domestically gets shaky enough she may *just* be mad enough to have a crack at a third Argie invasion of the islands. The problem this time is that the defences are there to prevent them even landing.
[Irrelevant aside]In my latest game on Hearts of Iron Argentina joined the axis shortly before Japan, they landed on the Falklands while most of my Royal Navy was busy blapping the italians in the mediterranean. Then spring 1942 rolls round, I recapture the islands, completely destroy the Argentine navy and set up submarine blockades of every Argentine port effectively rendering their participation in the war useless until I'm done with Germany and Japan in 1944. At which point the Argies are easy pickings.
Surely SS Hitler Cristina Kirchner would lose any small ounce of credibility she had if she tried any kind of invasion there is enough verbal footage around not just of her but her EVIL sister also Alicia Castro clearly sayng there will never be armed conflict, again though we have to remember Kirchner tells lies to her followers on a daily bases

@31 'Calm during a time of anger is worth 100 days of sorrow'. it's better just to wait until they implode into some kind of all consuming internal civil conflict, then you can win the conflict without even fighting.

Like as the bible says in Matthew 5:39, “But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.”
Of course, he didn't mention that after you have 'turned the other cheek“ and taken the blow, that you hit them back - hard - and send them into next week.
As the saying goes: ”Two hits! Me hitting you and you hitting the floor!” LOL

The trouble of course is that AR is seeking validation right now. When a headcase does that in office politics this can get messy. The only way for CFK to pull that off her current overall sorry hand is to play the victim card. And methinks the trump victim card that UK is preparing for is for CFK to start a fight with someone who is defending someone smaller by taking a swing at the latter and then crying “Bully!” Once again, right out of the dysfunctional office politics playbook. AR doesn't have to hit hard, they don't even have to use a military asset (lest it be confiscated by creditors) but they can arrange to harass a civilian FI interest at sea, the latter interest will either respond directly (in an “unprovoked” attack) or request an armed support (mind you, nary a shot need be fire, or for that matter a dirty look glanced), and she will have her cross that she can drag around her newly polished marble floor at the UN and bore the security council as if they were Nina Garcia on Project Runway.
Jan 14th, 2013 - 05:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is quite clear that now the world, via the General Assembly of the UN, will see what a pathetic version of history is being presented by Argentina. Immature and undiplomatic behaviour.
