The Argentines should set up a nice tractor fsctory to show their gratitude to Papua New Guinea.
Apr 05th, 2014 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Gee whizz Paul, an international heavyweight supporting Argentina Government, that will make you feel happy and the world won't give a shit. But probably as usual this will be Argentina propaganda and PNG have no idea of the bullshit being spun by idiots like you.
Apr 05th, 2014 - 05:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why is it that every Argentine I speak to is resigned to the notion that there is little current hope under the Argentine regime of Kirchner, the country is going down the toilet due to the madness of the government. Yet by virtue of your statement you support these idiots!!! Yet it's no point in trying to explain what a crazy bunch of complete twats that Kirchner and crew are, you will learn the hard way, because you are wearing blinkers.
All this nonsensical “support” being announced is just another ploy to divert the the attention of the Argentine public from the real problems.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 06:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am bitterly disappointedly that Papua New Guinea is purportedly “ supporting” Argentina in its claim to sovereignty over the FALKLANDS. I am relaxed in the fact that Tristan da Cunha has not yet voiced its “support” in a similar fashion. Although I heard a whisper that the Isle of Wight is to hold a referendum as regards SELF DETERMINATION as they would like to add their “ support” to Argentina. Isle of Man is next I hear, remember you heard it here first.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 07:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0I keep telling you, the issue of self determination for nSGTs was voted on by the UNGA in 2008. Contrary to your rant the UN decided that sovereignty disputes were not a reason to deny self determination and the MAJORITY voted with the UK.
Argentina was supported by only Latam and a few rogue states like Syria and Iran.
Isolated....? not us....not when countries are actually asked properly.
This was what the representative of Papua New Guinea said at the 'Special Committee on Decolonization Considers ‘Question of the Falkland Islands' 14th June 2012, this is the latest statement they made in the C24 I can find. So it supports peaceful negotiation, with the Falkland Islanders and the UK, how is that supporting your claims Argentina? They were also politely saying that the C24 are out of touch and they should be working towards 'fulfilling the rights of all peoples to self-determination'. They also reiterated that the Isslanders wishes should be taken into consideration. Don't think they are actually on your side argentina, sounds like they are on the side of self determination.
Apr 05th, 2014 - 07:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0'ROBERT GUBA AISI ( Papua New Guinea) supported the view that the working methods of the Special Committee must be “retooled” in order to better achieve its goals. If not, it ran the risk of being marginalized within the United Nations family. The Special Committee must put together an innovative work plan with clear benchmarks to make progress towards fulfilling the rights of all peoples to self-determination. A “one size fits all” approach was not appropriate; cases should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
However, he said, that could only be accomplished with the active participation of all stakeholders, and the question of the Falkland Islands (Malvinas) was no exception. Papua New Guinea had joined the consensus today in the belief that the only way to break the impasse was through negotiations and dialogue. While respecting the views and positions of both parties, the people of the Islands themselves should not be “idle spectators” in the process. “The Falkland Islands have had a voice,” having participated in the work of the Special Committee; Islanders themselves had been heard today. He felt that those wishes should be an inclusive part of the negotiation process.
@8 Loooool
Apr 05th, 2014 - 08:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is clearly part of a pattern. Whenever an Argentine Minister visits country X, a press release is issued immediately afterwards stating that country X supports the Argentine position. Typically there is no corresponding press release from country X.
In reality, it will turn out that when asked, country X has stated itself to be in favour of peaceful settlement and dialogue. This is hardly surprising, since the only country in the world that has ever opposed peaceful settlement and dialogue, and indeed continues to oppose the latter, is none other than the Republic of Argentina itself.
If country X was asked, on the other hand, whether it supports Argentina's rejection of law, democracy, and human rights in pursuit of its territorial aims in the South Atlantic, you can be sure the answer would be 100% different.
This is a typically short-sighted Argentine move. While it may help to keep the wool pulled over the eyes of the domestic population in the short term, in the longer run countries will soon get fed up of being misrepresented in this manner.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 10:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are not taking sides - just stating the blindly obvious.
It is such a pity that you are totally Blind!
Australia and Canada take the same position - are you going to come on here and claim they support Argentina!
Show me please where USA supports Argentina - it does NOT - nor does it support the UK .
Show me where Chile supports Argentina in practical measures please. They give you some meaningless verbal support at the UN in a Committee which has zero international power. They also recognise the existence and the name of the Falkland Islands Govt and call it as such and have regular trade and communications with us- ie they RECONISE we are here.
Uruguay does exactly the same- remember any vessel from the Falklands can go to Chile or Uruguay- all it does is swap the FI marine flag to the Britiish marine flag at the border- which they are entitled to do.
Brazil- ships go in there under whichever flag- Brazil again gives you a bit of verbal support where it is meaningless - but where it affects their economy they could not give a damn about Argentina.
@Paulcdron Take a look at the real world and not the world according to Argentina and the botox queen.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bear in mind that this is “a release from the Argentine Foreign ministry”, which should usually begin with “Once upon a time”.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 01:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0paulie, it would be more accurate to say that the White House or Washington supports Argentina, but I think even that is pushing it. The only way you can accurately make that statement is to point to a poll of the American people that indicates the people support Argentina against the Falklands.
Apr 05th, 2014 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The USA is not a populist government.....never has been and never will be. That being said, enjoy what you perceive as US government support of the Falklands.....for two more years at best, because the best you're getting is an under the table handjob from barney osama. In two years.......thankfully for our laws he is a library in the making.
So I repeat.....what polls indicate that the USA (not the executive branch of goverment) supports Argentina?
BTW.......what map is the Malvinas on? The Emerald City map? The map with USAMEX...whatever that is? The map with Atlantis? Did the Malvinas sink with Atlantis? Where there antediluvain kings that sent people out to all corners of the earth to keep the legend of the Malvinas alive?
“That being said, enjoy what you perceive as US government support of the Falklands....”

Apr 05th, 2014 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry to burst you self inflated balloon but the British public could not give a flying f'##k whether the USA supports them over the Falklands or not.
If they started to interfere in Argentina's favour, then there would be a burst up not necessarily in the USA's favour. If we distanced ourselves from US policies then we may have an easier life.
Don't confuse the British public with their twats of politicians.

Apr 05th, 2014 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As far as I recall the UK has always been prepared to go it alone when they are in the right, as per the early part of WWII. Especially when all the legal rights are on their side, there is no legal way to change the status quo. Argentina seems to believe it can win by whining, which isn't going to happen.
Simply because “there is no obligation in general international law to settle disputes”.
Principles of Public International Law, third edition, 1979 by Professor Ian Brownlie
“The precise scope of the obligation is, however, that states should settle disputes peacefully, not that they should settle them. In other words, there is no general rule requiring a state to settle its grievances. Rather, the rule is that if a state does decide to settle, this must be done in a peaceful manner.”

I don't know if the UK/US relationship is so one sided. The UK's foreign policy seems a a bit more level headed, practical, and long term. They don't respond at all to many years of Argentine “malvinas” lies, rhetoric, and outright tripe . Nuclear weapons in the Falklands?, the Belgrano was outside the “established solely by their adversary” exclusion zone? The UK doesn't spend a second responding to this, they know to respond would gain “not a thing”. They are just more level headed about American “boisterism” as well I think.
I'd like to ask your opinion, “after the UK, what is the next most militarily powerful ally that the US has?” (Japan and Germany are allies but have limited military capability)

In the case of the Falklands though Argentina cant invade again, the Islanders have armed all the Penguins now...and are capable of striking well into the heart of South America with their stealthed nuclear beaks of doom.
Well, according to Argentinas president anyway.

With regard to the US as an ally, here are a couple of questions for those of you who know about military matters:
Apr 05th, 2014 - 11:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 01. Has the US brought any war to a satisfactory conclusion since 1946?
2. Could the US have re-taken the Falklands in 1982 without becoming involved in a wider confontation, and kept the peace for 30 years in the face of a belligerent power right next door?
“Zuaín met twice with the New Papua Guinea foreign minister to promote bilateral contacts”
Apr 06th, 2014 - 12:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Does the PNG foreign minister have a name, or is it just that the argentine deputy foreign minister couldn’t be bothered finding out?
But the Argentine foreign ministry has also issued a release that (breathlessly) asserts that the following countries:
East Timor, PNG, Cuba, Venezuela, Grenada, Pitcairn Island and Iran have all expressed standing support in principal for the right of Argentina to exist as a sovereign nation – subject to certain stringent conditions.
The reality of the situation is that after being asked whether they believed that the dispute between UK and Argentina should be decided by 'dialog' or 'negotiation' someone from the PNG government said 'yes.' This goes a long way to please the 'simpletons' back in Argentina. Fact is, they remain 'simpletons.'

Another well thought out and well researched argument. I stand in awe ( actually, I'm sitting down at my computer ) at the weight of your conclusions.
Clown.
“ For centuries past, the idea that a state could be ” sovereign “ was always connected to it's ability to guarentee the best interests of it's own citizens. Thus if a state could not act in the best interests of it's own citizens, it could not be thought of as a sovereign state.”

And back to
@1 Let me explain for the benefit of someone of subnormal intelligence. The Falkland Islands and associated lands are British territory. They will remain British territory until the Falkland Islanders determine otherwise. Out of 193 members of the UN, 192 have no say. Given that Britain is capable and courageous, I wonder which little fart-arse country would try to force its way. Certainly nothing in latam. Bearing in mind that latam is nothing. Why does latam create so many organisations? Are they hoping that, one day, they'll find one with guts? Not in the next thousand years.
Here's a simple point. The United Kingdom has over 63 million people. Discount scotland. 58 million. About 40% are adult males. That's a little over 23 million. And how many would only ask for transport and an assault rifle?

@45 You have allowed yourself to become brainwashed by Argentine propaganda. It is perfectly reasonable to believe that when PNG government official(s) were asked if they 'supported a peaceful dialog between UK and Argentina regarding the Falklands' someone simply said ' yes'.
Apr 06th, 2014 - 06:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The last time the UN General Assembly voted they voted 73-54 against a motion from Argentina and Spain to put restrictions on the right to self-determination.

Apr 06th, 2014 - 06:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So answer my question.
If “nobody” supports the UK, how did they gain a majority vote last time there was a decision in the UNGA.
Why were the words “where no sovereignty dispute exists” removed at the request of the UK and totally at odds with Argentinas position?
You can't answer can you shit-for-brains?
As for Britain being “less than nothing without US support”....it is better than Argentina on virtually every measure, both social and economic...and has better education, better innovation, more successful companies better healthcare....
So, if Britain is less than nothing...Argentina is what?
So..your facts are like your brains....full of shit.

Paul what do you really know about anything, democracy in New Zealand means that anybody can have a point of view, i.e if a person believes a certain way they can air their views and declare their support for a side in the argument and they won't be thrown out of a plane late at night in the Tasman Sea never to be heard of again. However I am quite certain the authorities, i.e the democratically elected Government of the day certainly supports Great Britain. You come across with these sweeping generalizations as if you are some sort of academic mind, but your statements are ambiguous and your suggestions very misleading. For example what is a pakeha and what of this group don't support Britain? What maori don't support Britain, the maori party are part of the government? What is too much in support, is this 5% supporting not too much or 95%? If the authorities are in Government how do they not support Britain and the Falkland Islanders position. Where is this evidence, otherwise you come up with cockamamee bullcrap to support your feeble position and you aint got an Argentinian swamp to stand on.

Apr 07th, 2014 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“not even papua new guinea, a member of the commonwealth, supports britain regarding Malvinas”
So they'll be sending a task force to help because the last time you had a crack at the UK your countrymen sh1t their pants?
Should be plain sailing when the PNG Navy arrive.....

So that makes me some way ahead of you. I don't know anything about Argentina, I don't pretend to and I have absolutely no interest in knowing any more than I do now.

Apr 08th, 2014 - 09:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of course, poor little Argentina received no help from anyone !
Brazil, Peru, Israel and moral support from Spain.?
Did the USA contribute to any of the forces in the fighting.
Were Kirkpatrick or Hague pro British in the struggle ?
Technically the UK was attacked by a foreign power and as a NATO member could ask for logistical assistance. This was supplied from NATO stocks We received immediate offers of help from New Zealand and Australia. I am sure that at a top level it was decided that it would be a totally British operation when the actual fighting started, and it was.

Are you just posting one of your childish throw away remarks or have you a “VALID ” point to make ? I presume you are referring to my post at 74.
Using your copious knowledge point out where I am going wrong..
The subject of the Falkland's war has been discussed previously before you appeared on the scene.

You're going for irony there right?? huh???
har, har, har!!!!
“I don't get why so many people on here take the bait when a dipstick like Paulcedron makes the unprovable claim that most countries support Argentina against the UK when it comes to the Falklands”
Apr 09th, 2014 - 10:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very good comment.
I won't be returning to this thread.
Timewaster Paul C. has nothing to contribute.

Apr 10th, 2014 - 10:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0You are quite right. This is the best thing to do after reading one of his absurd remarks is. His duty in life is to provoke a reply which gives him a feeling of self importance. The more you feed the beast, the hungrier it gets.
its something quite important to read about the PNG supporting Argentina.
Apr 10th, 2014 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Especially relevant is the PNG Navy.
Apparently CFK is very jealous as they have 5 boats that float, something novel to the Argentine Navy as it prefers their boats to roll over and sink.
Whilst the PNG fleet is small and old, its serviced and works.

Apr 14th, 2014 - 01:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes two landing craft and a few patrol boats will be pivotal in warning the UK out of the South Atlantic.
I was also impressed with their air wing-most aircraft unserviceable except for 6 Bell Huey Iroquois.
Christina is holding back her troops until PNG arrive.
oh no, a working navy and airforce.
Apr 14th, 2014 - 05:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Im surprised CFK is not worried they will attack Argentina, they certainly seem to have air and sea superiority
