Oct 08th, 2013 - 06:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps some of the Falklands I.O.D.E. Ladies could knit CFK a woolen Union Jack cap to keep her dome warm until her hair grows back??
Nice 'gesture', don't you think??
How 'bout it, Isolde???

19) It is way too obvious when we were talking about Mr Putins style and international politics, why are referred to him as “Mr” Putin and I also further added I would not say ever “president” Cristina, and automatically “Think” followed in and you disappeared . As obviously that touched a nerve when I trashed CFK and you can’t use “A_Voice” on Argentine issues you shift to “Think”, do you remember??

I say to you again it’s not my business if you have a double account or wherever you live. But you can sure control your timing to make yourself a little less obvious
My grandmother used to say that “in the mouth of a liar right is doubtful”.
Oct 08th, 2013 - 04:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So, I do not believe in absolute what has been officially declared about CFK. This would not be the first time that non-existent disease is stated with political objectives.
I think it's an invention, or exaggeration, for political advantages as not to be seen as the “captain of defeat” in the next elections, to disappear from the political scene for a few months, depending on the outcome decice about her politival future. Iy is also a way of not to take over the economic disaster she caused and let it be inherited by another government.
If the physical problem that is real his return to active political life will demand many months of inactivity and rest. Another way to avoid responsabilities.
Is full of falsehood here. They continue to open new emails to falsify names.

Your personal opinion regarding the Falkland Islanders not being eligible to exercise self-determination and determine their own political future is far more insulting than being called a 'bitch', but yet you are not ashamed of having such an opinion, in fact you are proud of it. So there we go....
Sorry Christina but your, 'they have no rights, they are just squatters,' remarks about Falkland Islanders no longer cuts any ice. The International Courts of Justice offered Advisory Opinion as far back as 21st June 1971 and said,

However, Argentina has only bad. Genocidal colonialism as Spanish, more genocidal colonialism as Argentina, cowardice, harbouring Nazis, Peronist corruption, dirty wars, nuns from planes, Falklands invasion and illegal minefields, massive default, Kirchnerist corruption and lies...against all the good stuff Argentina or Argentines have done....errr...erm....err......nope....not a sausage...nothing, not a thing....

There are more ways to benefit from Falklands oil than by directly drilling it, which Argentina can't work out.

Oct 10th, 2013 - 05:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You misunderstand the difference between the Argentine Government and Argentina.
What is best for the Argentina government and best for Argentina are two completely different things.
Best for Argentina is undoubtably to forget this Malvinas nonsense, start to trade and benefit from the islands, possibly even a gas pipeline, sort themselves out and maximise their enormous potential.
Best for the Argentine government is to continue the monumental corruption, continue thieving from decent Argentines, and remain populist by pretending to look strong on the international scene by spouting rhetoric and propaganda to hand-pick friendly international audiences....

You cannot get “back” something that you never owned.
Argentina, as we all know, has NEVER owned the Falklands.
So even if you somehow conquered us, you would not be getting the Falklands “back”.
All this is academic anyway as we would have on our farm, pigs with wings before we were ever slaves of the Argentines.
And as l said, you are not very original, dear Thinkus.

Oct 12th, 2013 - 09:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good correction Monkey magic-I should have said “which the Argentine government can't work out.”
I am sure there are in fact, many Argentines with common sense who have worked the following out, (well to be honest a 10 year old kid could).
If .......... (hypothetically, as CFK has done her best to ensure Argentina can't touch anything), the money from Falklands oil (when it arrives )............. is spent in Argentina on goods, services or wages of Argentines working in the Islands etc), effectively the Argentines would be making money out of the oil without having to actually have the hassle of the expensive exploration investment and work drilling for it.
The Argentine government itself ,instead does what you say and grants itself an economic death wish.
So the oil money will instead, probably fund services, fund workers and buy products from the UK, Chile and possibly other South American countries, who while still backing Argentina's claim will be profiting from the Islands regardless.
Also, I bet the Islands will not only end up with one deep water port, but two, which will compete with Southern Argentina for shipping trade.
This competition or the potential for it, could have been totally eliminated if the Argentines had offered the islands port and refining facilities, thus the islands might not have needed a deep water port. Or outside exploration and facilities. Or British and Norwegian oil workers, etc etc etc etc. Now, the islanders don't need Argentina. At all.
Now, the Argentine government's King (or Queen) Canute watch transfixed as the rising tide comes in to drown them.
The Malvanistas couldn't work this out in a 1000 years.
